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.

from components to modules
from components to modules
01/11/2004 07:52 AMRight now I'm refactoring/rebuilding the user interface of a new
release coming out soon (oh right... Note to self: talk about that)
and I'm facing the fight against "sticky" APIs. Or, in more technical
terms, their coupling.
Ideally, a certain component set that is self-contained (say, and
HTML component) will be isolated from other components at the same
level. This makes it both simpler, easier to maintain and, contrary to
what one might think, often faster. While I was at Drexel, at the Software Engineering Research
Group, I did work on source code analysis, studying things like
automatic clustering (paper) of software systems, that is, creating software that was able to
infer the modules present on a source code base using API
cross-references as a basis. Since then I've always been aware (more
than I was before that, that is) of the subtle pull created by API
references.
The holy grail in this sense is, for me, to create applications
that are built of fully interchangeable pieces, that connect
dynamically at runtime, thus avoiding compile-time dependencies. In
theory, we have many ways of achieving this decoupling between
components or component sets; in practice there are some barriers that
make it hard to get it right the first time. Or the second. Or...
First, the most common ways of achieving component decoupling
are:
- Through data: usually this means a configuration
file, but it could be a database or whatever else is editable
post-compilation. This is one of the reasons why XML is so important,
btw.
- Through dynamic binding: that is, references "by name"
of classes or methods. This is useful mostly with OO languages, as
you'll generally end up dynamically allocating a superclass and then
using an interface (or superclass) to access the underlying object
without losing generality (and thus without increasing
coupling).
Achieving decoupling in non-UI components is not too difficult (the
data model has to flexible enough though, see below). But UIs are
almost by definition something that pulls together all the components
of a program so they can be used or managed. The UI references
(almost) everything else by necessity, directly or indirectly, and
visual components affect each other (say, a list on the left that
changes what you see on the right).
In my experience, MVC is an absolute necessity to achieve at least
a minimal level of decoupling. Going further is possible by using a
combination of data (ie., config files) to connect dynamically loaded
visual components removes the coupling created at the UI level, but
that is difficult to achieve, because it complicates the initial
development process (with dynamically loaded components bugs become
more difficult to track, the build process is more complex, etc.) and
development tools in general deal with code-units (e.g.,
classes, or source files) rather than with modules. They go
from fine-grained view of a system (say, a class or even a method) to
a project, with little in between. We are left with separating files
in directories to make a project manageable, which is kind of crazy
when you think how far we've come in other areas, particularly in
recent years.
The process then becomes iterative, one of achieving higher degrees
of decoupling on each release. One thing I've found: that the
underlying data model of the application has to be flexible enough, be
completely isolated (as a module) and relatively abstract, not just to
evolve itself but also to allow the developer to change everything
that's "on top" of it and improve the structure of the application
without affecting users, etc.
Yes, this is relatively "common knowledge", but I'm a bit
frustrated at the moment because I know how things "should be"
structured in the code I'm working on but I also know that time is
limited, so I make some improvements and move on, leaving the rest for
the next release.
Final thought: Until major development tools fully incorporate the
concept of modules into their operation (and I mean going beyond the
lame use of, for example, things like Java packages in today's Java
tools), until they treat a piece of user interface as more than a
source file (so far, all of the UI designers I've seen maintain a
pretty strict correspondence between a UI design "form" and a single
file/class/whatever that references everything else), it will be
difficult to get things right on the first try.

09/25/2002 12:37 AMWeb applications today are developed without significant structure.
Often they consist of server-side dynamic pages with embedded script,
presentation logic and data access logic. As a result, most of the
business logic and data associated with these applications are locked
up—unable to be shared inside and outside of corporations. In essence,
web applications and data are kept in silos, limiting the ability of
companies to share their information and business logic. -- Jeremy
Allaire
"tri" Most of my PHP work revolves around building corporate Intranets
and Extranets. Addressing these issues are important to me.
