My News year's resolution is to manage the TurboCASH Community better. This is to create a more inclusive community that gives greater opportunities for users, consultants, developers and investors.
Managing Open Source projects
I found this video, by two contributors to the SVN project particularly informative. If participating in TurboCASH is of interest to you, then the comments about management of an Open Source project are really interesting. I particularly like:
The Bus Factor How many people have to get hit by a bus before the project is in the Poo?
Standards How sticking to a common standard is more important that the egos of the contributors.
Open Communications By using common, open forums, Issues are publically maintained.
Documented Plan As personnel on a project change, you need a archive to prevent the same issues being addressed again and again.
Poisson People How certain people , no matter how well meaning they are, can derail a project.
Newcommers Be kind to New commers, you can't tell by first impressions who the really valuable contributors will be in the future.
Branches Be friendly to branches, they are a source of innovation.
I have opened a forum topic if you have suggestions.
