Ejabberd vs. Inkscape Development

Updated April 25, 2005 @ 9:29 pm

I have to say that Inkscape’s low barrier style development is exceptional compared to other projects I try to work on/with. I really think that allowing small to medium scale easy access to the working development source code repositories with one or two patches, or contributions, really is the way to go compared to kernel style dev.

I’ve been adding some infrastructure to ejabberd, a scalable erlang-based jabber server. I’m reminded, as Bryce has commented previously, how the Inkscape style of development is successful, as this project only accepts patches, and I really just need to dig in hardcore to adding simple things like daemon init scripts, make directives etc, to make it very easy to use for developers, and administrators.

NOTE: I also understand that different styles of development are useful for different situations and scales of developers and users.

World of Warcraft is the best game! I played today during lunch at a PC Bang. Koreans are generally attracted to group and collaborative games where the physical group network is mirrored in a PC Bang by the augmented virtual characters in games like Starcraft and the aforementioned. So cool!

I started reading a bit more about various activities in Korea and came across an article about Club Night. The thought of those club nights just makes me tired now. While traditional Korean food is geared towards health, I think much of this is undone by the cultural penchant for vices.
