Frockle/PeerReview2
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].
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 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 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).
AO'C - Alexis O'Connor.
