Talk:Cold War Rearmed

Management Software

I would assume BIS already has all the appropriate software, and would prefer to use it for this project as well?

If not, here are the discussions regarding possible solutions:--Kronzky 21:44, 6 December 2006 (CET)

The software we have requires per-user licensing, and therefore is not suitable for an open project like this. --Suma 12:36, 7 December 2006 (CET)

Project Repository

The project repository will be on a central server e.g.CVS.

I strongly suggest to use subversion instead. TortoiseSVN is a great windows based GUI client. --WGL.Q 18:44, 1 December 2006 (CET)

I agree on Subversion. It would also allow for easy MS reporting services implementation to keep track of stats and work for the project managers --SniperAndy

Bug Tracking

Despite the Wiki being used (abused?) for bug reporting right now, it would probably be preferable to use some dedicated bug-tracking software. I've had some pretty good experiences with the open-source Mantis. It's powerful enough to handle most tasks, but not so complex as to scare off non-programmers. --Kronzky 21:44, 6 December 2006 (CET)

Call To Arms

I guess this discussion page might serve to gather the people who would like to be involved and how. If anyone feels like participating, write your area of interest/expertise here. Currently most needed are people for the Preparation phase (some experience with CVS or Subversion needed to start the repository).--Suma 11:26, 6 December 2006 (CET)

-I could assist in doing the CVS, Subversion. Would have to read up on it again but shouldn't take up to much time. --SniperAndy

Coalition of the willing

All people who sign up here show that they are willing to contribute work. The CWR team will sooner or later contact them to get more detailed information about their capabilities and on that basis CWR will decide if he/she(/it) can join the team. If your Wiki name is different then your forum name then please specify this in your user page so that you can be contacted.

Communicaton Channel

Following communication channels which I think could serve well:

1. dedicated private forum on the BI forums - Created.
2. wiki talk pages (I guess a separate wiki would be needed for this, perhaps with access restricted to people accepted as participants of the project)
3. any combination of above --Suma 11:37, 6 December 2006 (CET)
