Crap, Cake and Collaboration

Posted by Bromine Jun 1, 2008 1:51:47 PM

So, Bromine has been in the ether for some time now. How did it fare?

 

Well, the honest truth is that alot of people confirmed what we already knew. It's codebase is a mess. It works, but it's a mess. Hard to understand, maintain, upgrade and develop on. It's been coded by 3 testers, with no proffesional PHP experience and it shows.

Moreover it's not documented well enough.

 

It's not all dark and loomy though, for people are stepping up to the challenge. People are submitting Jiras and some have shown a real interrest in the development of Bromine. As such we've set up a google group for the old and newcome developers and we are facing entirely new and interresting challenges. New methods and habits of communication as well as development must be practised to allow everyone in on what has untill now been a rather exclusive knowledge of Bromines darkest code-bits.

Bromine is slowly becoming a true FOSS (Free Open Source Software) project, rather than the in-house test tool it has been so far.

 

Things are afoot, as Olle put it, and you should look forward to these new times.

Crap might just literally turn into cake in the near future

 

If you are interested in joining our efforts just drop me a pm
