I'm back to blogging

Worm in liquid maze

Design and development of information management tools.

Back to blogging and Sider

I'm back to blogging. I'm gonna start by changing how I write posts, making them more un-official, like a journal. Not sure yet how that will work out.

I'm also back to working on Sider. I decided to make its development process more transparent. I want to be open and honest about what I'm working on, what mistakes I make and how I fix them.

I'm in the process of putting all project documentation in one place on the wiki where it's available to anybody. I started to review and publish Sider design documents. That shouldn't take too long, at least for the initial phase where I create an outline of all features. I'm not sure yet if I will publish everything, but I'm sure that most of it will be online. The wiki is opened for registration, so anybody can contribute. I have also opened read-only access to Sider issues.

In addition I recently learned about Scrum and want to try it as a project management methodology. I'll have more user stories (which I seem to like, unlike the use cases that are too detailed for my taste) and I'm going to estimate all remaining work using abstract points, then use velocity to approximate when the next release will be available. I will probably write here about my experience and thoughts.
