Hello to all WebIM Developers!
As a quick introduction; I am a student at the University of Lincoln (England) in my 2nd year of a Computer Science degree, and am currently writing a short assignment for the Software Engineering Unit that I undertake, where we have been asked to investigate an Open Source project in a number of subject areas, yours of which I would like to look into!
Our brief asks the following areas to be reviewed:
1. How the developers around a software project ‘typically’ manage and control the processes of software development.
2. Make an assessment of the effort that is allocated to different forms of maintenance and the contributions made between members of the development team.
3. Propose and provide the requirements, design documents and code for a maintenance task.
My Task; After searching Source Forge I would like to ask if I could use your project for this study by possibly putting forward:
Some Questions relating to the areas stated above, such as developer identification and how issues such as communication, management and decision making are resolved.
Looking into the application as part of my maintenance task, possibly providing and implementing a new visual style, which could be used in comparison to the two options currently available.
Your feedback would be much appreciated.
Many Thanks
Karl (Pench)
