said:<BR>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<BR>To
my mind, the first step after you have an early prototype of a system that
<BR>works is to set up a continuous integration server that automatically
builds, <BR>runs automated tests, and labels appropriately.
<BR><BR>Without that, any work you do is shooting in the dark. This is (of
course) particularly <BR>true for a distributed project, where you can't just
yell over the wall to someone that they broke the build.<BR
clear=all>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<BR><BR>OpenMoko
powers that be:<BR><BR>PLEASE Hire someone to create and maintain the build
process NOW. It will increase<BR>productivity of your developers as well as the
community developer team.<BR><BR>The investment of one additional FTE will help
enormously.<BR> <BR>be well<BR><BR>-- <BR>Ron K. Jeffries<BR>Twitter
