Project Pages

You need a link from the course projects area to a web page that serves as the home page for your project. At a minimum, the following should be present on you project home page:

• Your name.
• Your project name.
• A description of your project (1-2 paragraphs, enough so that people know what it is, what it does, how it works.
• User and/or developer docs sufficient to let end users work with the software and/or developers understand it. Recommended process: Write something minimal, then have someone else review it to find places where it is insufficient. Repeat as needed.
• Source code
  • Link or directions to SCMS repo.
  • Optionally a tarball containing a stable build. However, don't do this unless you can keep it in sync with the SCMS easily.
  • Optionally binaries, but consistency with SCMS and platform make this a bad idea in most cases.
  • Optionally tags in the SCMS for "stable" commits, if you have some.
• Build instructions
  • Checkout and download insns
  • Prerequisites for build
  • Build instructions
  • Installation instructions
• Contact information: email, email list, bug tracker etc.
• License information
