Quit sourceforge. Objections?
Publishing wiki sourcecode in wiki and make it editable
just like wikipedia articles.
These are little bit nervewracking to me. Sourceforge tools, and CVS, and so forth, are standard development tools that have grown up and been tested and refined by social processes for many years now for *exactly* this mission: development of open source software by geographically separated volunteers.
It strikes me as very likely that if we try to "roll our own" by using a wiki to edit code, we are going to end up with something significantly worse, and for no good purpose.
It is true, I guess, that CVS and all the rest provides a barrier to entry for developers. But not much of one, since it's easy to learn and since most developers will already know about it.
Probably. If meta is the place only for those who are interested in development and administration, I would like to participate in meta.
The best place for discussion of development and administration, the technical aspects, is right here on wikitech-l.
