=== Introduction ===

This exercise is similar to the [[../PeerReview|first]] peer-review exercise. However rather than a physical meeting we will be conducting a tele-conference on 13th June 2007. It is a ''triangular round-robin'' where each team reviews the work of another, within a triplet. We are ''reviewing'' the work of [[http://www.jisc.ac.uk/whatwedo/programmes/elearning_framework/demo_designshare.html|DesignShare]]. In turn, we are being ''reviewed'' by [[http://www.essex.ac.uk/chimera/projects/resourcebrowser/|ResourceBrowser]]. (''NOTE: the wording in bold indicates points highlighted with respect to the first peer-review exercise.'').

=== Main Exercise: DesignShare (conducted on April 24th 2007) ===

==== Pluses ====
 * Good project [[http://designshare.opendocument.net/Application/index.php?crumb=2&action=page&page=About+DesignShare|web-site]] which provides a nice introduction.
 * Sensible code formatting and comments.
 * Being built as an Eclipse plugin, so effectively a ''standard'' build procedure (no scripts required) and then just ''Run As -> Eclipse Application'' to execute it.
 * Could not find a project blog - '''there is now a project blog (albeit sparsely populated one)'''.
 * License is probably in the wrong place - should probably be placed at the top of the file ''above'' the `package` declaration. - '''this has been fixed'''.
==== Minuses ====
 * All the CVS commit messages are blank - helpful to have a bit more information, even if it's just ''"Added a bit more code ..."''   ;-) - '''this was highlighted in the previous exercise'''.
 * Whilst I (`AO'C`) could get the project to build and run from a cvs checkout as an Eclipse workbench project, I couldn't get it to run by dropping the [[http://www.reload.ac.uk/beta/OpenDock_Plugin.zip|plugin]] into a download of [[http://www.reload.ac.uk|Reload]] (Ubuntu Linux 7.04 ''Feisty Fawn'').
 * We suggested moving the location of the project web-site to a "nicer" location. It has moved to http://www.oyster-media.com/designshare/. If you go to http://www.oyster-media.com/ (the "root") you find a questionnaire. Just a bit disconcerting that's all. University branding would be nice ;-) .
