LimeBits JavaScript + WebDAV platform
Hi Ohloh Friends,
An alpha release of LimeBits (limebits.com) is out, to attract early comments and criticisms -- on design as well as implementation.
LimeBits is a project to build an open-source code-sharing community. It tries to address several problems in open source development:
- Code embarrassment -- withholding release until overripe
- Flaming and hostility
- Unfriendliness/inaccessibility to novices
- Barriers to incremental code development
- Complexity of use, development, and deployment
- Incoherence of some system design and usability
The goal is to create a system that
- minimizes back-end processing and shifts control to the client side,
- is a live, public runtime platform, as well as a collaborative development repository,
- lets you share and copy websites, including all dynamics, as well as components,
- uses web standards for interoperability,
- engages open-source community members supportively.
QUESTIONS:
- Design -- What design requirements would you find compelling for LimeBits? Would they expand the community of open-sourcers?
- Implementation -- What are the pros/cons of JavaScript + WebDAV as a live, runtime platform for dynamic websites?
- Social -- How can LimeBits structure community interactions to help participants feel welcomed, supported, and appreciated?
- Governance -- How should open-source contributors who use LimeBits participate in making decisions? Should there be a .org or foundation?
Thanks and best wishes,
--Jonathan A. Marshall
