[hibernate-dev] Collaborative Development for Hibernate

[Eike Starkmann]

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?

Kind regards, Eike Starkmann
