Getting Started Document

There are two steps in creating a OsDrawer project.

The first step is that you must have a user account with the Drawer. The OsDrawer user registration page can be found at the top of the Drawer's home page.

The second step after logging in is to click on the register project page. You will find this link at the top of your developer's home page.

Project Registration Requirements

Requirement	Comment
Project full name	This is just a descriptive name title for the project.
Project Purpose And Summarization	The project purpose is perhaps one of the most important items on the list of requirements. This statement says what you plan to do. The site administrator will approve your project primarily based on this statement. Remember that the admins are looking to see if your goal matches their intent of the site. Test projects won't be approved. You can either download a copy of the gForge software or try one of their demo sites.
License	There are a number of open source software licenses to choose from. Some of your selection may depend on religious choice. Dr Richard Hipp exposes issues surrounding his choice of license with the sqllite database in a Google edu video.
Project Public Description	Your project public description is your first communication with users. Please pick it accordingly with a marketing hat on your head. However, don't let it stop progress if you cannot think of something clearly that describes your project. It can be revised later.
Project Unix Name	The final requirement is what name will you use to plant your project on the OsDrawer servers? This name will be used in many tools and becomes more of a geek thing!

The table above shows the kind of requirements that the OsDrawer requires in order to register a project. You may be sucessful in aquiring project space if you remember the text on the home page of the Drawer, "This site is meant for hosting various software projects related to the Haiku compatible development platform (BeOS / Haiku / Zeta" Each project must determine these settings for themselves.

Management the source

All commands must be executed in the Terminal.(da finire)

Go to the parent directory for your local repository and enter:

svn checkout svn://svn.osdrawer.net/projectname moduloname

This will checkout the source into a new subdirectory called "moduloname".

Members of project should login with their OsDrawer account to get commit access:


svn checkout svn+ssh://username@svn.osdrawer.net/svnroot/projectname

You should add the first line to your ~/.profile, so SSH is always enabled.
