Awesome Software

by Subbu Allamaraju on June 12, 2011 · 3 comments

Every other new OSS project is now awesome, fast, robust or even battle-hardened. If you really want your OSS project to outlive a swarm of retweets over a day, here is some advice:

  • Think of some concrete scenarios to help us understand what is awesome/fast/robust/whatever about your stuff.
  • Write tests for those scenarios.
  • Publish your results and provide as many details as you can about your tests.
  • Finally, publish the source code for your tests.

I’m sure that this is hard-work – but you want us to clone your project, or even fork it – right?
