 My boss actually wrote his own Project Management System and named it PMS...some of the women around the office saw it and got a little upset.

Oh and finally; How the heck does Source Versioning (CVS, VSS etc.) and Defect Tracking work together?
If you have a Source Control/Versioning and a Defect Tracker that work together, bugs can be attached to different versions of sourcecode and so on...
You might see it as 2 different projects, and it might as well be that, but is you make it one project, you can make the "2 parts" work together (integrated).
The other thing is that there is something to do for everyone to do on that project, all the way from you web-dudes, and to native C++ on the server.
And yes, the project is my idea

My sources all have their own bugs.

Hey! Cool idea that, I like it.
Anders Molin wrote:

Don't be embarrassed, it is a good idea.
What I think we should do though is build PMS and DTS (defect tracking system) and they work together. I said PMS was not a source system, but it certainly would be better if there was a source system out there that worked well with it. The defects/bugs/issues would then be tracked inside PMS while DTS handles the actual versioning of code etc.
So yeah, good idea Anders, now we just need more votes on our ideas. *Paul hires a pron star to visit each CPians house, fluffing for votes*

Perhaps we could use some of this. Project leaders could evaluate their project with it (some of it).

That's why I want to keep things in this forum and not spread throughout the site. We're still in preliminary stages, but once the projects are determined, things should pick up and hopefully we can devise a system of better communication.
Your complaint is duely noted.

It is getting difficult to find the new threads. Once we get past this stage the ideal would be to have a "CPP" section on the left of the home page. So perphaps under "Community" a link to CPP. The category of the article would be CPP.

These issues don't need to be discussed yet, but as we get closer to getting this project rolling, we're going to need to think about several other issues related to the code:
1. We need some sort of copyright license at the top of the source files. It should be pretty easy to find a good one here on CP that's really unrestrictive (i.e, just letting people know they can't sell the code). I'm all for giving all of this away for free, just like we do on CP, but I wouldn't like to see third parties selling the source code or abusing our efforts.
2. We all know that each developer has his/her own way of making objects work together. We'll need to break this project up into very modular and well-defined pieces for all of them to work together without breaking the internals of each piece. This is going to be a hard part I imagine.
3. Coding standards. I know a lot of people don't like to use any type of Hungarian notation or other standards, but it really really does make looking at other peoples' code easier. If we've got 50 developers each with their own (or lack of) standard, it's going to make modifying other parts of the project very difficult.
Just thought I would share some thoughts I've had on this the last few days. I'm really excited that it seems to be taking off, and I eagerly await the start of the project .
Hopefully I will have enough spare time to be of value to it.
