eXtreme Programming (XP) in OSS projects?

Posted by Cliff on from the different-development-paradigms dept.

ivi asks: "I first bumped into the XP approach to system development, some years ago, on Dr Dobbs' now-defunct Seminar-On-Demand site TechNetCast. XP has some short, simple rules for growing software from Users' Stories, eg, with programmers working in pairs, showing prototypes to Users "early & often" et al. Download this XP site (under 400KB, zipped) for more. So, who's used or using XP, does it work for OSS projects & what have your experiences been with it, so far?"

    Heh, I'll be the first to say that Windows XP doesn't play well with OSS projects.

    and yes, that IS an attempt to be funny, not stupid.

    Pair programming is a little difficult for some people, especially really smart people

    Funny. I never had any trouble with it...
