1. SE goes software engineering; managing the Compose* project.
The Compose* Team
Christian Vinkes
Frederik Holljen
Istvan Nagy
Lodewijk Bergmans
Pascal Durr
Raymond Bosman
Sverre Boschman

2. Scope Composition Filters Implementation
Compose* is a modular language extension
Current target: extend .NET
Implementation
implementation is crucial
for our own verification
for the trust of the community
for the learning process internal/external
many past implementations
throw-away prototypes; wasted effort

3. Managing the Project: Main Goals
Communication
integration
avoid redundant efforts
Continuity
keep the knowledge
keep the quality
documentation

4. Overview of the Process
It is informal & light-weight
Steps:
architecture: grows evolutionary [Lodewijk]
design: UML diagrams--Rose XDE [Istvan]
code: Java, J#, C#
synchronize with design (XDE) [Istvan]
use Eclipse and Visual Studio [Christian]
document with ‘docsygen’ (a la javadoc) [Raymond]
testing: nunit, junit [Raymond]
code inspections

5. Overview of the infrastructure
Communication
Sourceforge: bug tracking, mailing lists,.. [Frederik]
Knowledge management
Wiki: cf. project web site [Pascal]
Source code sharing
CVS [Frederik]
Build & Deployment
Make files, multi-platform, executables

6. About the Architecture
TBD

7. Knowledge Management with a TWiki Pascal Durr

8. Communication with SourceForge Introduction
world's largest Open Source software development web site
free (as in beer)
open licences only
Reasons for choosing SourceForge
Attracting contributions from the outside
Provides communication infrastructure

9. Communication with SourceForge Major features provided
Bug tracker
Forums
Mailing lists
Web/disk space
Compile farm
Administrative access rights
CVS

10. Source code sharing with CVS (Concurrent Versioning System)
Central repository for source code
edit one file simultaneously
Versioning system, you can:
commit changes to a file
roll back files to a previous state
see log of changes
Supports tagging and branching
