The RSS will be our main medium to show our progress. The idea is that
any interest booster will be subscribed to it, even if he is not
working in the project.
I will prefer we do some internal testing before announcing a new
feature in the feed, in order to avoid an alluvium of "this is not
working" mails. Once we feel the feature is stable we can announce it
to the outside world (that means, to all other boosters).
Your question was a good one. It makes me realize that we are using
the same DocTest document for two unrelated tasks.
We use it for testing purpose, so it is likely to be broken most of the time.
And we have been using it to showcase the new features. It is natural
since this document include every possible construct (not quite, but
is the idea... there are many thing we have to add to it... someone
willing to expend sometime on this?).
The problem is that we will break our showcase tool the very moment we
announce it.
I think we can solve this maintaining two separate on-line copies of
Boos.DocTest. One will be used for testing purpose, so we can play
with it whit out bothering anyone; and the other will be update with
tested stuff and will be used to showcase our progress.
What do you think about this?
Best regards
Matias
