I rephrase the question as no 'real' response has come to my first question (http://weblogs.asp.net/webvize/archive/2005/02/25/380393.aspx)
I have written a Management System that works on generating traditional ASPX and ASCX controls. No I am looking if it would be beneficial to me and the community to create a open source aspect around it.
Take a look at http://weblogs.asp.net/webvize/archive/2004/10/08/239784.aspx to see the outline of the management system.
I think there are some nice appoaches defined that could be the basis of a very good management system. The problem is that I am just a single developer and progression is low if I continue on my own.. So in short I am looking for others that are looking for a new management system.
Voor de nederlanders onder ons. Ik zoek dus mede ontwikkelaars om ideen uit te wisselen en uiteraard sta ik open voor allerlei suggesties. Ik ben dus eigenlijk op zoek naar een borging van het gebouwde. Op dit moment is 1 project draaiende (http://www.kaboem.nl) De huidige bevindingen zijn dat het een goed presterend raamwerk is en waar ook snel andere site mee op te bouwen zijn. Maar ja alleen is maar alleen en ik denk dat er genoeg ontwikkelaars zijn die ieder zo hun eigen mening hebben in de implementatie van dit soort trajecten..
After writing my own management system, including somewhat radical ideas, and implementing it on a couple of projects, I now am deciding what to do.
I am able and willing to open up the source but then?
Questions that arise are:
Open up the source? What would I and the system benefit from this action? Will it scare of customers? Am I getting an extra restriction?
Keeping it to myself? How to get it promoted? But as it is mine I can do with it as I like.. Will I loose than benefit ?
In being a one man company I regularly get the comment that I am a too small company to be able maintain a system for a longer period of time and therefor are looking at other providers and there systems.
Would opening up the source and creating it as an Open Source project make me as a company stronger?
Anybody having Ideas suggestions experience in open source projects he/she started ? positive and negative are welcome!!!!!!!!!!
Finally I have got back my time!
http://www.kaboem.nl has gone live on the new .net platform.. the first .net site in complete linus/php minded organisation (
www.Ilse.nl).. For the world .. it is dutch and for kids.. so around this time 23:20 PM (dutch local time) nobody should be in the site.. :-)
Time to rethink my decisions.
Having build my new management system, I know have the first usage reports. And they are great.. Installed the framework.. Builded /defined all data required. and to live… I have seen 1200 simultaneous sessions. A 60% CPU Load with a 99.97% cache hit.. this on a dual 2.4 Ghz web server … A bulking 1.6 Million pages have been visited on almost 1,5 weeks.
Seeing these figures I am glad I made the choices as I've made them. Regenerating asp/ascx pages/controls is much better to handle then an approach where you have as few pages and controls as you can get and have a bulky middle tier that needs to generate all the rest..
Now looking forward to some more implementations.. ( i am doing integration number 3 right now. ) the more the better. the more the system will be able to handle. Surveys, Polls, Forum .. all elements it has a grip on right now..
