[hibernate-dev] Collaborative Development for Hibernate

Hi, I am working in the Institute of Computer Science at the Free University of Berlin where we are creating ways to improve the process of writing software, especially for Free/Open Source Software developers. Our institute develops Saros, an open source Eclipse plug-in that allows two or more developers to work together in real-time developing code, training newcomers, or performing peer reviews. It is similar to Gobby, SubEthaEdit or Google Docs but focuses on programming in Eclipse. As part of my masters thesis I would like to assess how useful Saros is when developing Free/Open Source Software. I already was in contact with other projects and got some good response. It is believed that Saros is particularly well suited to the following development scenarios: * an arbitrary number of developers working together over a network on a common project * distributed pair programming, with an author and an observer who are geographically dispersed * transferring knowledge between developers and introducing new people to the project * joint code reviews * collaborative development where developers are aware of each other and wish to switch easily between working together or independently If you are interested, I would offer you to join Hibernate for a while to give you support while working with Saros. What do you think?
