Distributed Software Development

Project Status – Beta Prototype Antonio Pošćić, Ivan Ačkar, Zvonko Žibrat

Project status

Experiences (I) Still on track –Meeting deadlines successfully –Division on subprojects Concurrent development Cultural issues –Minimal influence –Language barrier Problematic communication?

Experiences (II) Possible improvements –More attention to code changes –Team collaboration Problems and risks –Exams, departures, unavailability –Communication of ideas and decisions –Mass hysteria?

Milestones On track!

Activity Plan ● ● ● ● ● ● ● On track!

Work Hours

Statistics... Finances ~7500 lines of code 7 of 11 subprojects completely finished On a finer scale, 70% complete

Functionalities and Implementation

New Functionalities (I) Batch upload presentations –Conversion time –User friendly –Integrity checks Code reusability –Error detection “Surprise feature” –Not a requirement

New Functionalities (II) ODP to Wiki markup –“Basic” implementation (or is it?) –Support for styles –Improvements to follow XSL Transformation –From XML to XML –Flexibility, integration –PHP XSLT processor

New Functionalities (III) Slides editing –WYISWG –FCKEditor –Suitable? Changes –Syntax highlighting –Custom tags

What Lies Ahead... Wiki markup to ODP Error handling, debugging Authentication/security Surprises Improving existing functionalities
