FuseBox 4.1 Release
Received another one of those teratech letters, and it looks like at Fusebox 4.1 is going to be released at Fusebox 2004.
So I went over to the forumsand fusebox.org -- no feature page. Just a couple of google search returns about fusebox 4.1 about the proposed alpha changes.
What I would really like to see when we go into these new versions of frameworks is a feature list, but a case study of the improvements in construction at a corporation. Either the fact that with having all staff trained and using this framework technique has increased productivity and project lags by this much. I know its a dream world, but it would really help anyone explaining the pros and cons to management.
If we can come up with few key measures that are indicators of productivity in regards to maintaining software, and then broadcast them as a part of the framework utilization, being fusebox, mach-ii, or on-tap. Measuring the rate of success, would probably be very beneficial. Just a thought.
Yeah, there really hasn't been much talk about FB4.1 even on the FB4.1 forum on Fusebox.org :(
Some folks at Macromedia are tossing around the idea of doing a case study on Mach II since it now powers a dozen of the nearly four dozen applications that live on macromedia.com...
Posted by: Sean Corfield at July 18, 2004 5:46 PMThe "Fusebox Council" has done a great job of killing the development community around Fusebox itself (developing Fusebox, not using Fusebox for development) by implementing tight controls of the development process and basically springing the release on the Fusebox community.
Most every Fusebox developer I know has a forked version of Fusebox 4 since there's no good way to contribute patches, let alone improvements.
Sigh.
Posted by: John Ashenfelter at August 26, 2004 10:44 AMActually, we found one of the best things that happened to Fusebox was the much tighter control around the core files. Previously we had a hard time getting management to let us use FB on our intranet apps exactly because FB had been a free-for-all for "cowboy" coders. Now, with some stability, and much longer development times, we're getting a bunch more buy in from our higher-ups.
Are you sure it's the process that bothers you? Or is it just that you're not the one making decisions? If you have a "forked version" of Fusebox and you're having successes with it, then why whine?
