Status Inertia: The Speed Imperative in
the Attainment of Community Status
05/13/2004 05:19 AMStatus Inertia: The Speed Imperative in the Attainment of
Community Status by Daniel Stewarthttp://opensource
.mit.edu/papers/stewart2.pdfAbstract:This paper examines the role of
tenure in establishing social status within an online community of
free software developers. As tenure increases, an actor's status
becomes increasingly taken-for-granted, thus making it difficult for
actors to generate mobility outside of their current social strata.
The results of empirical analyses suggest that the broader community
plays a major role in deciding one's social position-a judgment that
can be made fairly quickly and decisively. Therefore, members of the
community who desire high status should work quickly to establish a
positive reputation or else run the risk of being cast into an inert
low status social position.

NetNewsWire 2.0 Status
08/19/2004 08:47 PMSo—where’s NetNewsWire 2.0?
Well, we’re working quite hard on it—which is why I
haven’t been doing much posting, and why if you’ve sent me
email I may not have replied.
It’s not ready for a public beta yet. The main new features are
all in place. What remains is fixing bugs, adding a couple small
features, updating the Help, adding polish, basically just taking care
of all the many little details.
In other words, we’re in the final sprint. The to-do list is
down to 95 items.
(If you’d like to help test, and you have a NetNewsWire license,
just send me email. Bravery is required, though, because it does still
have bugs. Most of the 95 items on the to-do list are bugs to
fix.)
What remains to do
Only a few of the remaining items are big things like updating the
Help book. Most are small, it’s just that there are many of
them. To give you a flavor...
- A smart list will cause a crash if you unsubscribe from a feed and
the smart list includes headlines from that feed.
- The Atom feed parser doesn’t support base64 encoding.
- The order of columns in the headlines table is not remembered
between runs.
- The 32K limit to the HTML differences feature should be removed.
- Etc.
Each of the above—and most of the rest of the list—are
small, easy-to-fix items.
This, luckily for me, is my favorite part of software development. I
enjoy fixing bugs much more than I enjoy adding big new features,
probably because I can fix a bunch of bugs in a few hours. It’s
like eating chocolates throughout the day instead of eating one big
steak once a week.
That’s not to say that there aren’t lots of big new
features in 2.0. There are. What we’re doing right now is making
sure that it’s not just ambitious but good.
(A reminder, in case you missed it: NetNewsWire 2.0 will be a free
upgrade for everyone who has bought or will buy NetNewsWire
1.x.)
Random discussion of one small part of one
feature
Here’s what tabs ended up looking like.
How many different ways can tabs be done? You’d be surprised. We
tried just about every configuration.
I really wanted the favicons because they perform a usability
function: the icons make it easier to find the tab you’re
looking for. It’s not just for looks. (We’re Mac
users, right? We like icons.)
But the close button needs to be on the left since that’s where
it is in Safari, and since close buttons appear in the upper left of
Aqua windows. (When we tried putting them on the right, testers could
just not get the hang of it.)
We could have put them together—close button, favicon, then
title—but that looked very jumbled.
Another option, which had its supporters, was to combine them. The
favicons would become close buttons on mouseover. Slick, yes, but at
the cost of explicitness. If you didn’t mouseover, you
didn’t know there were close buttons.
Another option was to do it like Firefox. In Firefox, tabs have
favicons on the left, and there’s just one close button to the
right of all the tabs. (But when we tried it, the feedback was almost
completely negative, even though many NetNewsWire testers use Firefox.
I personally liked this approach, but that’s just me.)
It’s funny, though, because the Firefox style had a unique
selling point: it meant you could close an “overflow” tab
by clicking a close button. Try it in Safari—open a bunch of
tabs so that you get the little tabs menu widget on the right. Select
one of the tabs from that menu. Is there something you can click to
close that tab? No, you have to use the Close Tab command. With
Firefox you can still click the close button.
In the end we went with the configuration pictured above, and we
decided to make it possible to turn off the favicons, since it became
one of those 50-50 things: some people really wanted them, but other
people really preferred a cleaner look.
All of the above is just to say that software development is about
trade-offs, and this is a textbook case because the trade-offs are
obvious and there is no one best way to do it.
By the way, I’ll be doing a session called “Using WebKit:
User Interface Challenges” at O’Reilly’s Mac OS X
Conference this October. I probably won’t talk about the
specifics of tabs design—it will be at a higher, more conceptual
level.

Roller 1.0 status
12/29/2004 11:21 AM
I'm doing what I can to help folks with Roller 1.0RC2 issues this
week, but I'm not doing any substantial work on Roller. I'm using the
Winter break to work full-time on Blogs, Wikis, and Feeds in
Action, so the 1.0 release will have to wait until the new year.
The good news is, although there are some
bug reports rolling in (pun always intended), Roller 1.0 has been
running very well at blogs.sun.com.
Status, CC: World
Status, CC: World
06/05/2005 11:32 PM
I post my status every Monday on our internal blog server and I'm
going to start doing the same thing here. Except for the boring
day-to-day operational stuff, most of my status is CC: World.
- Roller 1.1.2: I fixed serveral bugs in Roller's built-in
(Lucene based) search engine last week. I got some tips from Matt
Schmidt at Javalobby, who had done the same but in the Roller 1.0
branch. I hope to release 1.1.2 with those fixes this week; probably
the last release from the 1.1 banch. David Lindsey helped with
testing.
- Roller 1.2: since integrating Planet Roller and adding some
UI unit-testing stuff, I've haven't been contributing much to 1.2,
except for testing and deployment. Roller 1.2 is due out in mid-June,
but it's already running a couple of sites (incuding this one).
- Roller 2.0: I've been trying to focus on work in the Roller
2.0 (the group blogging release), but daily fires and 1.X kept getting
into the way of progress. Plus, I didn't want to create the 2.0 branch
until I had UI unit testing stuff ready in CVS head. Last week, I
started working on the database and persistent object changes.
- Roller@Apache: Apache has the Contributor License
Agreements for all Roller commiters and the grant form, now we just
need some karma. I hope we'll be moving into Subversion in the next
week.
- RSS and Atom In Action: After completing all chapters, I
went back and looked at Chapter 5 How to parse newsfeeds again.
It was really bad and I ended up completely rewriting it over the
Memorial Day weekend. Now I'm focused on implementing an Atom protocol
client and server so I can wrap up Chapter 8.
- JavaOne 2005: I made travel arrangements for JavaOne. I'll
be arriving Sunday before and leaving on Friday after. I'm also
planning on being in Menlo Park for a Thursday afternoon blogs.sun.com
users group meeting. My talk is at 12 noon, Thursday.

It's status time again. Quick summary: last week I spent most of my
time on Roller 1.2 related issues and the Apache move. This week, I'll
get back to the Roller 2.0/group blogging work.
On the Roller 1.2 front, I made some small enhancements to the Planet
Roller aggregator and did some work to make the blogs.sun.com front
pages a little easier to maintain. I also did a number of deployments
last week to our internal blog server for testing.
Unfortunately, changing the front-pages in a Roller site is not quite
as easy as changing a blog's theme. The front-pages are JSP, so you
can't edit them through the Roller UI and folks who don't know Java
and JSP have a hard time making changes. A number of people have
suggested the idea of having a blog serve as the front pages of Roller
and I think that's a great idea.
Now let's turn to Apache. Our Subversion repository space is ready at
the Apache Incubator, but we're not. Since the Roller 1.2 release is
coming up soon, last week we decided to keep main-line Roller
development in CVS. Once the release is ready, we'll move to
Subversion and branch 1.2 from there. Also: our new mailing lists are
ready at Apache, but we haven't made the move yet.
Roller 2.0 work got short shrift last week, due to Roller 1.2 and
related issues. Since Roller 2.0 lives in its own branch and Apache
won't allow us to bring branches and history along with us (for a
number of reasons, some legal), I had to do some extra work to
recreate the Roller 2.0 branch in Subversion. I managed to complete
that work and resume work on group blogging. I'm hoping that I can
spend the rest of this week on group blogging.
That's all folks. I'm going to cover RSS and Atom in Action
status in a separate post.
UPDATE: I completely forgot that we released Roller
1.1.2 last week, a minor bug fix release.

12/28/2003 07:48 AM
After checking out the GCC-CVS code I had some unresolved questions. I
was able to get in touch with Mark Mitchell, GCC's release manager, to
learn some of the answers. A new C++ parser went into GCC a while ago
and I had wanted to test whether there were noticable (or any)
differences in speed. Mark reported he doesn't think it is notably
slower than the previous implementation, but speed was not the initial
implementation goal, correctness was. Some speed-up-related code has
been committed and there is always more to be done in that department.

04/11/2005 03:03 PM
Last month I menti
oned that I'm working on TopStyle 3.12, which will be a free
upgrade from version 3.x. I don't have a release date yet, but here's
a teaser on what it will include:
One of the TopStyle's most popular features is class
hyperlinking, which enables one-click navigation to the
declaration of a CSS class. However, this feature doesn't currently
support the use of multiple classes (ex: <p class="class1
class2">), nor does it support id attributes -
and both of these items have been requested many, many times.
I'm happy to report that over the weekend I completed work on both
of these features, and they will be included in TopStyle 3.12.
PS: I'll announce the new version here when it's available.

Change in Spring status
11/18/2003 06:42 PM
Robb
Beal reports that he’s communicated to Spring users a change
in status: “Spring development has slowed down dramatically and
will continue to be sporadic going forward.”
This saddens me. Robb is a talented developer; Spring is an innovative application.
There are, it could be said, two types of innovative apps. NetNewsWire
is one type—it takes a new technology (RSS) and gives it a user
interface that’s familiar. Spring is the other
type—Spring’s point is the user interface itself; it takes
an idea and goes all the way with it. NetNewsWire is evolution; Spring
is revolution.
It may be that these types of apps are created by different types of
developers: I could never create something like Spring. (Though Robb
could perhaps have created NetNewsWire.) And so I admire Robb and
other developers with revolutionary, idealistic temperaments.
They’re utterly necessary to the software ecosystem. (And I am
not one of them.)
The unfortunate part is that the market doesn’t always reward
apps like Spring. Apps like Spring are always much more of a gamble.

Hobbit bones in bad shape
Hobbit bones in bad shape
03/23/2005 01:19 PM
David Pescovitz:
Sadly, the bones of BB mascot Homo floresiensis were apparently
terribly damaged by Indonesian scientist Teuku Jacob who
"borrowed" the bones for quite some time and was extremely
reluctant to return them. Jacob was not convinced that Homo
floresiensis is a new
species of "little people" at all, but rather a deformed pygmy.
The scientists who discovered the bones claim that the remains were
trashed when Jacob's team tried to make rubber molds of the delicate
bones. From USA Today:
"The equivalent in the world of art would be somebody slashing the
Mona Lisa and then trying to fix it with chewing gum," says
paleontologist Tim White of the University of California-Berkeley, who
was not on the discovery team.... (Pesco's profile of White here.)
"If some breakage took place on any bone, it must be during the
transport in Yogyakarta or from Yogyakarta to Jakarta," Jacob says.
"Both mandibles were intact until the last minute in our lab, as
proven by photographs taken on the last days." He did not respond to a
request for the photos...
Discovery team member (Richard) Roberts scoffs at the notion that
travel caused all the damage: "Like the addition of a glued-on
chin?"

This is a bloody good fan-generated trailer for a notional Peter
