Project Overview

Important Note: Development is currently reduced to the minimum, see Tracx Vs Trac

Goals

Primary

  • Implement an project infrastructure based on the gathered requirements
  • Serve the further projects of Lazaridis System Design, see Activity History
  • Engourage contributions by (e.g. sharing results in an Open Source way)
  • Provide a no-cost Multilingual Project Hosting Platform

Secondary

  • Remain advertisement free (retrieve incomings from Commercial Services)
  • Provide free hosting services for open-source-projects

Requirements

Project

  • simplicity
  • efficiency
  • transparency

Functional

The product is implemented based on requirements which were specified during usage and/or evaluation of collaboration system (sourceforge, eclipse project) and project organization schemes (e.g. the eclipse and netbeans project organization).

Directives

  • integrate the subsystems whilst keeping them unaltered
  • modify the subsystems when necessary
  • extend the subsystems when necessary
  • synchronize efforts with the producing Open Source Projects.
  • contributes most of the code back to the original project (normally using the original license)

This makes development more difficult, but pays out on a longer term.

If this is practically not applicable (e.g. due to missing organization or agility of the target project), the functionality is implemented as an add-on, using the Project License.
