Here is what I've been able to come up with so far. Comments? Casper More efficient development The development coordinator should work on identifying inefficiencies within the project and should work on providing solutions for the identified inefficiencies. The analysis should be done from a project-wide perspective. What may seem to be more efficient for a few project members, may cause even more inefficiency amongst several other project members and thus result in overall lower productivity within the project. The development coordinator should consider this when drafting proposals for more efficient development practices. The development coordinator should work on improving both the processes and the tools which are used in the development. Spread the knowledge Being a volunteer effort, the project members come and go, perhaps more often than in your average commercial development project. This makes it even more important to the success of the project, that knowledge is preserved within the project in the event that a project member is leaving the project. The development coordinator should work on improving the processes for spreading knowledge within the project. Education The experience of the project members is important to an open source development project like ReactOS, just like it is to commercial development projects. The development coordinator should work on improving the processes for educating the project members.

RE: [ros-svn] [turner] 18776: Calculate the screen size correctly . Allow a file name input.

by Murphy, Ged (Bolton)

I've had a fix for this for a while, but because it's been in rosapps, I'd forgotten about it. I agree with Alex's earlier comment. This is essentially a core app and should at least be moved into /reactos/apps, if not /reactos/subsys/system. Maybe we should also consider moving some apps which are in /reactos/apps over to /rosapps too, as there are some odd ones in there which are not core apps, even a unix tool or two :-o -----Original Message----- From: turner(a)svn.reactos.com [mailto:turner@svn.reactos.com] Sent: 26 October 2005 13:47 To: ros-svn(a)reactos.com Subject: [ros-svn] [turner] 18776: Calculate the screen size correctly.

Vote on voting method

by Freworld

Hi! I think we've discussed enough to start the vote on the new voting method. The two options to vote are: 1. Future votings will be held on the forum. As always only the commiters can vote but everyone can read the voting forum. The forum will send a mail to ros-dev everytime a thread (a vote) is created in the voting forum, so the people that don't track the forums will get informed too. Every other rule that concerns voting will stay the same. 2. Keep the old voting system. As always only commiters are allowed to vote. The vote will last 5 days. Greetings Michael

ROS 0.2.8 RC-2 available

by Robert Köpferl

A new version of ReactOS has arrived on SourceForge.Net Release Candidate 2 of version 0.2.8 has been finished last night and upped. As usual you're welcome to download and test. At this space some personal note: This is the first publish the new Releasemanager Brandon Turner did. For an unknown time, he'll do all future releases, since I go on some longer jorney. I'll not disappear from ROS but at least for some time. But I'm coming back within a year or so.

rbuild question

by Hartmut Birr

Hi, for a sample program, I have to specify a linker script file. I'm using the following xml-file: <module name="lowalign" type="win32cui" installbase="bin" installname="lowalign.exe"> <include base="lowalign">.</include> <define name="__USE_W32API" /> <file>lowalign.c</file> <linkerflag>-Wl,-T,modules/myapps/lowalign/ldscript</linkerflag> <linkerflag>-Wl,--file-alignment=0x80</linkerflag> <linkerflag>-Wl,--section-alignment=0x80</linkerflag> </module> I would like it if I can remove the absolute path from the linker script file. Any ideas? - Hartmut

Idea for the textual setup of ReactOS

by Jonathon Keogh

This is just an idea - there's no need to go crazy and bombard me with reasons why not. Just a thought, wouldn't it be better to ask for all the data (in the textual part of the setup for ReactOS) to be asked and then do all the proccessing? At the moment, it goes like so: * .... * Ask questions about drives * Apply drive stuff * Ask question about location of ReactOS * Apply ReactOS location (and copy files) * Ask question about booting * Apply booting stuff * Reboot PC Wouldn't it be better to do: * .... * Ask questions about drives * Ask question about location of ReactOS * Ask question about booting * Apply drive stuff * Apply ReactOS location (and copy files) * Apply booting stuff * Reboot PC This is just an idea, remember.

Constitution

by Casper Hornstrup

I have looked at the successful Debian project for inspiration on how to make decisions in a large distributed project like ReactOS. I have drafted a constitution for the ReactOS project which is similar to the Debian project constitution. You may find it here: http://www.reactos.org/wiki/index.php/Constitution. The constitution explains the decision making entities, their abilities and the decision making processes of the ReactOS project. Feel free to comment, suggest changes, etc. Casper
