Re: A new step in collaboration: FIRST Programmers' Guild

I'm in, but only if what we make open to the general FIRST community is just concepts and not code (like Ben stated above). This is because you can't just give out or put out code like it was worthless pieces of script. It's valuable stuff. However, if we give out concepts, which is like stone before it is sculpted into a statue, then we not only provide clues into how to go about the task, but also we create a HUGE think tank. As an example, someone may put out a flow chart or pseudo-code. Here's what probably happens:

1. Programmers will look at the code
2. They will think about it, and tweak it if needed.
3. They will have to find a way to put it into code, and therefor creating an explosion of ideas, innovations, etc.

Code in my opinion should only be given out if it is demonstrating a technique, and that code shouldn't have any relation to any robot. Otherwise, don't even think about it.

On a side note, I'm also involved with another project, the URC (Ultimate Robot Challenge) video game, so my involvment with this can't be too much. Thanks.

-Joe
