...not on the protection of intellectual property or professional reputations. It serves the useful purpose of making great software more widely available, but it does not dictate how people should behave and should not be used as a moral compass. (See recent book titled "You are not a gadget: a manifesto", a rejoinder to the GNU manifesto.) As a counterbalance I think the community of developers and users need to play a more active role in the evolution of shared values and expectations. In this spirit I respectfully request that the R community consider the following. The author line of the...

I''m trying to get really serious about doing true BDD for a new Rails project, and I note that at <http://rspec.rubyforge.org/documentation/ rails/index.html> it says: "we really don?t recommend the use of rails fixtures" On the same page it also says (about Model specs): "these are the only specs that we feel should actually interact with the database"

Apologies for cross-posting. We''ve been asked to do a job for a client who wants to embrace agile development methodologies. Hurrah! However, our standard contract was written for the 1980s. It is full of phrases like "agreed specification" and "change request procedure" and so on. I was wondering, how do other people get around this in contract forms with

...s the opposite of inclusivity, so I feel very strongly that the expectation should be having at least _some_ basic artefacts here. There might be the rare legitimate exception to this rule, but that is nicely captured by making it a "Should" rule. Along similar lines, having some sort of manifesto / development plan / whatever really should be a Must. Writing something like that up is an incredibly low bar, and if people can't even be bothered to do *that*, well... Having that Must next to "there Should be a prototype" also helps clarify the expectations. > > As I menti...

I''m finding that I''m writing sets of very similar scenarios to check access permissions for each of my actions.

As a librarian and a father, I have both a professional and a parental interest in democracy and access to information. In addition to democracy, libraries and education are related to other concerns. For example, our physical and mental health is critical to our ability to learn and to process information fully. Suppose a worldwide referendum was held on a proposal for single-payer global

Hello R-world, I am facing a peculiar problem and hope someone out there can comment on it. In goodness-of-fit tests for evaluation of distributions, there are three well-known methods: 1. Chi-square 2. Anderson-Darling 3. Kolmogorov-Sminrov I am trying to use the second test. Many researchers have reported results using this test. I wrote programs in C and now in R to do this. I run into
