[edit] Some pointers

  • Making the article into a real article instead of a list is good. Very much the best way forward.
  • Please don't bold the links. It's ugly, and it's non-standard.
  • Please don't link to external sites for the insignificant software. Especially if it's in alpha. Most especially then. WP:NOT a way of building brand, market share, promoting a product etc. If a product is not significant enough for an article, but has some unique feature which demands discussion, discuss it in prose as an emergent feature.
  • The industry press has been speculating on whether MS's market stranglehold will be broken since forever. Keep it neutral and WP:CITE sources for anythign which might otherwise look like editorialising. Or better still stick strictly to the verifiable facts (verifiable, that is, from reliable sources) and avoid editorialising at all

One last thing: if next time I look at the article it's got all those redlinks and weblinks back I will have to start throwing my weight around. Please don't make me start whacking the article with my wikimop. Just zis Guy you know? 20:31, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thesis research

Hello,

My name is Riad Djemili. I'm a computer science student at the Freie Universität Berlin in Germany. I'm working on a graduation thesis, which aims at examining distributed pair programming.

For this I've compiled a short questionnaire, which I would like to get as much as programmers as possible to answer. The survey is completely academic and has no commercial aims. This questionnaire is mainly aimed at programmers that have already worked with pair programming, ideally even distributed pair programming. It takes about 10 minutes to complete it. The URL is as following:

  http://survey.mi.fu-berlin.de/dpp

Since collaborative editors are a very interesting medium for distributed pair programming, I would be very interested in your experiences. You would help me in understanding in which ways distributed pair programming is currently used and therefore help me to research how distributed pair programming tools could be improved in general.

If you're interested in further information about the results of my work, you'll be able to leave your e-Mail after answering the questionnaire. Your e-mail won't be used for any other reason then this and will be deleted as soon as you've been contacted on the results of the survey.

This survey will be up until the 17st of July 2006. Please feel free to notify other potentially interested participants of this survey.

If you have any comments on this announcement, on the questions or on the topic in general, please don't hesitate to contact me at my e-mail address:
