    sourceforgery...

    Anyone ever developed open source stuff ?

    I am, as has been stated by myself a lot recently, a bit bored hanging around applying for jobs. I figure if I get a bit of open source development onto my CV all the better. It keeps me happy and not bored.

    Plus I have leeched a lot from them in the last 6 months. Might as well contribute since I am in a position to.

    I emailed some guy asking to jump onto a jsp web blog system as the css/html guy. With a bit of other development too. It sounds like a bit of a laugh.

    thoughts ? experiences ?

    Mainly when people talk about open source they generally mean software which is open source not developing web pages using CSS and HTML. Yes you'd be using open source mark-up languages but usually it's programming and allowing everyone to see the source.

    I don't think you can say you've been involved in open source development from using CSS and HTML, i'd class that as web development.

    Although i didn't quite understand the post in the first place

    sorry kezzer. you obviously didn't get my post. I am trying to START working on a sourceforge project. Still the project admin has not emailed back so has not seen my email or is ignoring me...

    The project is to make a freely available tool for people to run their own blogs. So I suppose you would download a zip file and unzip it into a jsp/java enabled web server i.e tomcat. And bingo bango you would have a working blog running..

    Have you heard of/used phpMyAdmin ? This works in a similar way. At some point some guy, like me, had to design the html interface for phpMyAdmin. The underlying functionality of phpMyAdmin is to administer a mysql database through a pretty web interface <- well.. its gorgeous compared to the command line inteface .

    If you just had the raw functionality with no default html inteface. NOBODY would ever use phpMyAdmin.

    *edit*
    I am a better programmer than web developer. But I fancy getting one easy project for sourceforge to see how the development dynamic works before I commit to something more substantial.

    success. i am on a project. I am having real probs getting the files outta cvs now. It is failing to find the appropriate cvsroot on cvs.bbweblog.sourceforge.net.

    I am using tortoiseCVS, and I have ssh'ed into cvs.sourceforge.net <- u have to do this once before you can access CVS.

    I emailed the project admin guy and asked WTF is going on. but he is a "brit in the states" <- that sounds like a medical condition doesn't it -> so he is on weird time z0nes and I wont get a response til I am bored of trying

    i'm working on three GPL projects at the moment. one has its own sourceforge project.

    1 is an easy graphical front end for running the doomsday engine (jdoom, jheretic, jhexen) under linux. the windows version of doomsday comes with a gui, Kickstart, whcih i'm remaking in Gtk2-perl

    2 is the same sort of thing, but for gplink, a tool for manipulating files on GP32 handheld.

    3 is a remake of System Studio 2 for linux.

    any advice on my cvs issues ?

    I have this access line configured...
    ":ext:ritchie_paul@cvs.bbweblog.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/bbweblog"

    then I fetch the list.. put my password in. everything seems cool. then I put my password in again so it can perform the checkout. then it has a brain fart and says that "ls is not supported by the server" and b0rks itself.

    Just a little thing about the "ls is not supported by the server.." thing, we have this at work when we try and access FTP servers - we found out it was because our firewall had NAT, to get around it we needed to switch to Passive mode, i dont know if CVS programs have a Passive option, but i thought id let you know incase that is it

    I generally use pserver mode as it's less prone to things going wrong - I'm assuming it's passive, and I'm fairly sure sourceforge supports it.

    forgot that is poking tounge out even when starting word

    got it sorted.. the admin doesn't have the list of cvs'able packages sorted out.

    so I had to manully figure out the module name to download instead of it auto generating a list.

    *If only the error it gave was not "ls command does not execute" *

    NOW the problem is the silent one of the WAR file not deploying in tomcat. so I STILL can't get any of my tasks done
