- Submit a question
- The version number 0.3 scares me. Is OPP usable? Does it have lots of bugs and/or crash all the time?
Relax. The version number has nothing to do with the stability of the code or the number of bugs. In any release, we strive
for the highest quality. We simply refuse to bestow the name 1.0 until OPP has achieved a certain level
of functionality.
- When will OPP 0.3 be complete?
The schedule currently calls for Q3 2002. However, a lot can happen between now and then. If you want to ensure that
it is delivered sooner, either volunteer to help or pay us to
complete the features that you need.
- When will OPP 1.0 come out?
The schedule currently says Q2 2003.
- Can I help?
Absolutely! See our Development Page for information about access to the latest code and
other developer resources.
- Will I get paid to help?
In general, no. However, you should consider the non-tangible benefits of contributing to a sophisticated open source project
like OPP. You will be helping the programming community, gaining name recognition, learning new skills and keeping your
existing skills sharp. In short, working on OPP is a great resume-builder.
If your work on OPP benefits your employer, you may be able to convince them to let you
do it during work hours. Our own work on OPP, while sometimes done out of our own pockets, is sometimes paid for by
clients with their consent. If you're lucky enough to get paid for working on OPP, then we ask that you provide
a letter from your employer or client stating that your work can be incorporated into our releases.

Documentation
|
Documentation for OPP 0.2.5; consisting of a description of each class. More
detailed documentation was intentionally omitted due to the transitional nature of the OPP 0.2.x interface.
Official documentation for OPP 0.3 is not yet available. It will be much more detailed than the OPP 0.2.5
documentation and will incorporate live feedback, development plans and bug reports into a "living document". An
overview of OPP 0.3 is available on the development page.
