How to Go About Team Building?

Posted by Cliff on from the in-search-of-project-members dept.

B1-66ER asks: "I'm trying build a team of elite overclockers for HWLogic, and a group of developers for our mulit-platform benchmark CPU-XMark. Now, before you tell me to use SF's Project Help Wanted, just remember: Linus Torvalds didn't have the online community development tools that we use now. I'd like to go beyond the help of SourceForge [which is part of the same company as Slashdot] to ultimately create my own organization in the way that Linus has now. It is my goal to one day get CPU-XMark to be a multi-platform Open Source clone of Futuremark's 3DMark05. Any suggestions?"

    How about something more exciting than a clone of something comercial. Nothing attracts good developers better than a good project. Try "A better, more applicable, less biased, multi platform benchmark."

    Hmm... I went to the sourceforge site and now I have to revise my comments
    Project LX is the codename for HWLogic.com's upcoming open source system benchmark. Project LX will be a highly compatible benchmark suite which will allow users to benchmark nearly every aspect of their system.

    You should spend some time lurking in various tech forums & review sites to get a full picture of 3DMark's limitations. (Just about every hardware site I've ever bothered to read has gone into each new iteration of 3DMark & looked at its flaws.

    Mods, please don't smack me down for this, but the submitter might want to consider not making the entire package OSS. ATI & nVidia both have a history of "optimizating" drivers and if they have complete access to the program's source... well, I can't imagine they wouldn't use that to their max advantage.
