retrospective Wiki browsing with SnipSnap

Das mußte ja so kommen. SnipSnap wir immer beliebter und dem entsprechend tauchen auch immer mehr Erweiterungen, sogenannte SnipSnap Macros, im Netz auf. Ganz nett finde ich z.B. das TimeLine Macro, das Einblicke in die Entstehungsgeschichte eines SnipSnap Spaces gewährt, indem es Snips geordnet nach dem Erstelldatum auflistet. Dadurch kann man z.B. erkennen wann man sich mit welchen Themen auseinander gesetzt hat und so retrospektiv durch den Space browsen.

Einige interessante Macros:

• TimeLine Macro listed weblog or other space entries in chronological order.
• Attachment Gallery Macro
• SnipScale - photo album in snipsnap
• Relationship Macro
• mehr Macros: Contributed SnipSnap

There are a lot of misconceptions about the Macintosh, but one misconception that has persisted is the myth that Macs are incapable of using multi-button mice. And those who know this myth is false still complain about Apple not shipping computers with two button mice.

XRadar - good software metrics

The XRadar is an open extensible code report tool currently supporting all Java based systems. The batch-processing framework produces HTML/SVG reports of the systems current state and the development over time - all presented in sexy tables and graphs. It gets results from several brilliant open source projects and a couple of in house grown projects and presents the results as massive unified html/svg reports. The architecture is based on java, xml and xsl. Presently it only supports Java, but there are plans to produce plug ins for other leading languages.

Agility and Wiki

Frage: Sind die “principles of the agile manifesto” mit dem Wesen von Wikis vereinbar?

Antwort: siehe thinkberg.com

The most efficient and effective method of
conveying information to and within a development
team is face-to-face conversation.

Allerdings könnte man Wikis als asynchrone face-to-face conversation betrachten und dann passt es wieder…
