Project tasks
The tasks of the
Electronics
project are:
Test benches -
Write test benches for all our software
The kind of applications we're dealing with makes it difficult or even
impossible for a non-specialist to test them. Thus we need to write test
benches in order to verify they work properly. This is essential for arch
testers to be able to stabilize them, but should also help keywording on
less common architectures.
Recruitment -
Form a team
A number of devs contribute to the Electronics Subproject, but are not
members of it. It would be good to have them officialy join us. In order
not to scare them, it should be made clear that their responsibility would
be limited to the packages they accept to maintain. This would increase
cohesion, communication, and make our collective work more effective. At
the same time we should look for herd testers and expert users to assist
us in our work.
