			<description><![CDATA[<p>Hi,</p><p>Here are the various activities involved in keeping the project running.<br />I&#039;m awful at asking for help, suggesting areas, managing people etc. so I figured I would just list whatever there is. (What I can think of right now at least).<br />You may or may not have realised that it was this lot. Right now I&#039;m doing most of the stuff apart from internationalised things obviously.<br />In no particular order.</p><p><strong>Project Management</strong><br />1. Establishing the long term direction of the project.<br />2. Choosing the mid term direction of the project.<br />3. Keeping all the users suggestions in a coherent list.<br />4. Assessing the potential and feasibility of the all suggestions.<br />5. Establishing release plans.<br />6. Making sure the short term decisions do not confilicts with broader goals.<br />7. Pronouncing feature freeze - (starting point of a formal release).<br />8. Packaging the release and uploading it to the site.<br />9. Making sure the main downloading sites have the latest version.<br />10. Keeping up to date about latest developements in related fields to get new ideas.</p><p><strong>Communication</strong><br />1. Posting blog posts about the project and future enhancements, media coverage, etc.<br />2. Translating these blog post from english to french or the other way around.<br />3. Posting some announcements or call for help and tests in the forum. Translating these too.<br />4. Filling the [s]super secret[/s] contributors wiki (en) (more on that soon hopefully).<br />5. Webmastering the site.<br />6. Answering questions about software usage in the forum.<br />7. Writing about the software in other forums.<br />8. Redirecting questions about the software in personal mails to the forum.<br />9. Chatting about possible future enhancements in the forum.<br />10. Answering requests from sports federations or private companies (and having no clue how to handle that).</p><p><strong>Translation &amp; documentation</strong><br />1. Translating interface to new languages. (to all involved: thank you so much !)<br />2. Proof reading interface and help files in all languages available. <br />3. Consolidating the various localisation efforts in the language file. <br />4. Creating and maintaining the documentation (help files).</p><p><strong>Quality Assurance</strong><br />1. Doing basic testing.<br />2. Monitoring the bug report tool, reproducing reported defects.<br />3. Creating test cases to avoid regressions in future releases.</p><p><strong>Code &amp; tools</strong><br />1. Managing scripts to ease release and internationalisation process.<br />2. Designing architecture at various scales.<br />3. Implementing features.<br />4. Creating or selecting icons and visual elements of the interface.<br />5. Fixing defects found in previous versions.<br />6. Improving features of previous versions, possibly removing unused ones.<br />7. Reconsidering architecture and refactoring the code so it&#039;s easier to work with in the future.</p><p>Needless to say, this takes a lot of (my free) time.<br />And beside my daily work (which is unrelated), I also have other <a href="http://www.joancharmant.com/">hobbies</a> <img src="https://www.kinovea.org/en/forum/img/smilies/tongue.png" width="15" height="15" alt="tongue" /> That is why you want to help the project moving forward.<br />Sure, I could do it all. But it&#039;s taking ages. The project is Open Source for this reason too.<br />joan at kinovea dot org<br /><img src="https://www.kinovea.org/en/forum/img/smilies/smile.png" width="15" height="15" alt="smile" /></p>]]></description>
