Help Required with Automation Harness

Hi All

I have to be careful how I word this as the last time I mentioned it everyone assumed I am a recruiter and I got some flack for it. So let me start by assuring you that I am not one, and this is not a commercial post in any way.

I'm posting this to see if I can interest anyone in helping me finish off an automation harness I have created. This would be an entirely voluntary role; you would be participating in an open source project. If you like pushing the boundaries of what can be achieved with shell, then you will like this project.

The harness is in a working state and I'm aiming for an initial release date of 21st August. As I am probably going to move house between now and then, I might not make it...

You can read all about the harness here - https://www.bradleyatkins.com/index.php/muse

There is also a link to the repo on Github.

If it sounds like something you would enjoy, you can contact me about it either here or through the contact page on my site.

I would be particularly interested in hearing from people able to help in these areas:

Testing
Documentation
Packaging
POSIX Compliance (This has been developed entirely on Centos Linux)

Anyone with experience of managing a Github code repository for an open source project would be particularly welcome, as I have no experience in this area.

I do have 40 years experience in engineering and have put a lot of it into this harness. If you follow the link you can read about its features. Don't be put off by the fact that it is written in Bash, it is very powerful indeed.

Hope to hear from you

Bradley

Hi Bradley,

Thanks for posting your good work.

Maybe you can simply post your code here and ask for help instead of trying to recruit people to go work on another site?

Nothing against Github and other sites, but it's easy to post code and get help here and that's what people do here at unix.com, so if you have any specific code you want help with, please post the code fragments and ask for help.

Thanks!

Hi Neo

Thanks for the reply.

Actually this is a full blown application with over 15000 lines of code in 127 files.

The only help I need with the code is to find someone happy to do a code review as it is virtually complete. So there's not much point in posting any of the code here. Although I have posted questions here in the past that have fed into it.

Can you think of any other sites where I might find someone interested in teaming up on an open source project? Or do you think maybe UNIX .com would be interested in adopting it?
