Hello all, I wrote an email to LJ proposing to write an article about UQDS and Combinator. They replied as follows (leaving out all the usual advice of how to write an article): > Your article proposal on UQDS has been accepted for possible > publication in Linux Journal. It should follow these guidelines: > > [deleted some guidelines] > > We expect your article will be about 2500 words. > > The deadline for the final version of your article is August 30, 2007. The > final version of your article must be sent to [email protected]. > > [deleted some text] > > Keep in mind that all writing is done on speculation. If Linux Journal > decides to use the work, we will purchase first rights and compilation > rights to the article. However, we are under no obligation to publish > the work. As a result, I have been busy writing the article itself in the past weeks. It is basically an example session of using UQDS in practice, in particular Combinator for doing branch-based development for issues from the ticketing system, finishing with a code review step. 2500 words is not much, so the article is quite hands-on. I included a few links to UQDS and Combinator wiki @ divmod for more background information. Unfortunately, I cannot release the article publically until 1 month after publication, so some patience is needed... :-) If one or two persons want to do a review, I can make an exception, provided they will not distribute the text further. At this moment, I am more or less finished with the article. I need better introduction. The reason why one would want to switch to UQDS in a multi-person software project is not clear. The divmod website doesn't say much about this either. Albert
