Getting Involved
|
Early in development, Reptile was largely driven by a single
developer (Kevin
Burton). This was necessary because we needed to avoid the
level of communication and politics required in large Open Source
projects. When one is trying to accomplish something different
(revolutionary?), it is often necessary to do this work alone.
In order for Reptile development to move to the next level, we
need to start recruiting new (external) developers.

What needs to be done
|
- Testing of builds
-
The community has done a great job of giving feedback on
this issue. Keep up the good work!
- Feature suggestions
-
If you have any features that you think Reptile should
incorporate, we would love to hear about them!
- Volunteering for development
-
This is probably the most important. If you have the
necessary development skills to implement new reptile
functionality please think about helping out.
Specifically we are looking for developers familiar with
any or all of the following:
- Java
- XML, XSLT, XPATH, SAX, SOAP, etc.
- Crypto (distributed identity and reputation work)
- HTTP and or Servlet development
- SQL and database design
- RSS and content syndication
-
JXTA or other
P2P technologies such as GNUTella
or MNet
The best place to start would be the latest TODO
file or bugzilla
The 'Developers' and 'Proposals' sections of the website
also should help out new contributors.
- Helping with documentation
-
This is one area where we would really like to get help.
Developers always have a hard time documenting the projects
they are working on. External help in this area would be
very much appreciated.
