Who am I?

• "My name is Ned. I do not like my little bed.", Dr. Seuss
• AlexKane
• Software Developer: testing, debugging, profiling tools for Java, C#, C/C++

What do I want?

write access to SVN for the following branches:

• TWikiPlugins
• Are there any other useful branches out there?

What can I do?

I have developed

• PatentLinkPlugin

which is currently checked into sourceforge CVS. I did not get around to putting it 0n Plugins web.

• CategoryPlugin

This one is a MediaWiki - style way of adding and handling categories with some enhancement and more functionality than the former. It is in the idea/functional prototype state. It is good enough to use for my own domestic needs, but not good enough for 1.0. It is more like being at 0.3-0.4 level.

Why do I want to do it?

• Best reasons of 'em all - egoistic, self-serving interests.
  1. I am too pressed for time to develop CategoryPlugin to the extant I want. So, I hope that the idea will entice other developers to improve it and contribute ideas/effort.
  2. I black-box test my code manually, with no automatic regression test suit. Testing is good enough for my current usage, but it is quite beneficial to have more free testers.
  3. No plans to get rich off these plugins, so why not let others use 'em for free?

Questions and Comments:

On past performances, "enticing others" takes a lot more effort than chucking code over the wall, unfortunately. But if you are determined, I don;t see why you shouldn't be able to check in to twikiplugins, which lets you do all you want.
