This version includes the following changes Author: mako Date: 2002/04/15 21:15:34 This version includes the following changes: * More information about the mechanics of licensing. * Several additions under the "Other Documentation Hints." * Some specifics on package naming (with a ref to ESR's howto). * A new section on encouraging good patching (also with a ref). * More specifics on announcing the software. * Quite a number of grammar, spelling, and other small errors. Also, as per user request, I've added a number of new documents to the bibliography. I've added information and references from these docs into appropriate places in the HOWTO. As per request, I've gone through and provided references to Eric Raymond's Software Release Practices HOWTO in the places where it seemed relevant helping to make the two work together a bit. These slight overlap areas are evident in the list of changes above.

A diff fixing a ton of errors made by Andy King. The Diff follow Author: mako Date: 2001/05/06 21:24:26 A diff fixing a ton of errors made by Andy King. The Diff follow: L84 - added "s" to "thing" L17 - do = does -- necessary? the "(s)" makes it a little confusing, but because it is primarily "author" (not plural), then "does" makes more sense. L186 - take = make L308 - how = who L387 - added comma between "work" and "while" L412 - perhaps add "If not, you should probably think about contributing to an existing free software application. It will accomplish the same goals that your own project would, and most likely make a better application than if there were two seperate ones." or something to that degree -- sort of like where you talk about forking later on; except that later on you're talking about how to deal with forks in the new project. This isn't really "forking," but more like "fracturing." You do mention that later, in "Deciding to proceed" but I can't decide which place is more appropriate. L484 - <nitpick> "useful gap" is awkward -- the gap isn't useful, the filling of it is.</nitpick> L488 - The = the L490 - how = who L504 - bellow = below - "searching of their databases" might want to be changed to "database searches of existing software" L526 - On the /. frontpage its stated as "News for Nerds. Stuff that matters." L528 - new = news L229 - an = a L230 - added comma between "here" and "so" - added "is" L464 - removed repetative "is" L540 - an = a L546 - rm'd "at" L596 - added comma between "management" and "but" L597 - be = get L599 - switched comma position around "but" L600 - added "s" to "remember" L663 - added "be" between "can" and "flexible" L736 - added "also" -- as it was before, it seems like the "but" is contradicting your previous statement when in fact you are re-inforcing it. L1152 - removed "a" between "in" and "the" L1184 - added "and" between "possible" and "are" L1198 - removed comma between "been" and "changed" L1271 - added "to" after "hesitate" L1310 - distributiosn = distributions L1328 - is the use of "problems" and then later "less problematic" redunant to you? L1348 - added "have" after "should" L2285 - large = largely

More fixes made before the release of the new version. Author: mako Date: 2001/05/05 16:27:37 More fixes made before the release of the new version.
Changed the name from the "Free Software Development HOWTO" to the Author: mako Date: 2001/05/05 16:01:45 Changed the name from the "Free Software Development HOWTO" to the much more specific "Free Software Project Management HOWTO." I like it better and some of the early readers agree that this is an intelligent change.
A final revision making some changes in linktext and making forking Author: mako Date: 2001/04/10 13:21:56 A final revision making some changes in linktext and making forking its own section so it doesn't seem like its just another section on branching. I changed a little bit of the text of the forking section to try and reflect this organizational change.
Major readthrough. Major changes, and minor additions. More than I can Author: mako Date: 2001/04/09 05:39:03 Major readthrough. Major changes, and minor additions. More than I can list here. This is version v0.2 of the HOWTO with substantial changes over the last release.
Major, major revisions and additions. Author: mako Date: 2001/04/08 23:58:49 Major, major revisions and additions. I've added an extensive reference section, paragraphs on CVS, a section on naming a project, more information on decision making and delegation and much more. I've also made major changes to the nature of the resources file (which I may change back) and really did a number on the TODO file (as I DID most of the things that needed doing. :) Yeah!) A read through and minor alterations are all that stand between this version and a v0.2 release.
