When I first communicated the "sculpture" system with my friends, many friends will ask it as the difference between SourceForge. At first I didn't care, I thought sf is also a collaborative platform. I should have not much difference with "sculpture". I will answer, "sculpture" and sf, just add "orders" "indicator" "public".
After a more in-depth discussion, I understand that the friends are more concerned about how to use software engineering methods, or how specific services can solve the problems facing friends, such as SF provides a product that can be used to develop a product around the world. Communication channel, version control, BUG tracking, etc. There is also a CMM provides a complete set of complex evaluation systems. Now I am answering, "sculpture" is different from them, completely different, is the focus of 2 directions. "Sculpture" thinks that we can solve everything, playing every individual, the subjective activity of each individual.
"Sculpture" does not conflict with any other practice, but it is a supplement. Here is the discussion about what method is more suitable for software development process management? Perhaps a method is only suitable for a goal, but it doesn't matter. As long as it is a solution to the problem, please say that "sculpture" will provide "individual evaluation" for each post of each method, lubricate all development collaboration Each link.
Here is 2 PPT diagrams to illustrate some information of NGNR's "sculpture" system: 1, NGNR credit system: http://www.ngnc.net/sculptor/ngnr001.gif2, nGNR credit service system application process: http: / /www.ngnc.net/sculptor/ngnr002.gif
