The other day in my posting on The Crisis of Programmer Competence, I suggested that developers seeking greater levels of competence and practical experience could, among other things, consider participating in an open source project. Here’s an interesting project you can get in on the ground floor of — the first code will go public in a few days. You can participate in design, development, testing, documentation — your choice.
The project is Nvigorate, a framework library authored in C# for the .NET platform, including Mono. The initiator of this project promises to avoid the over-engineered classes with tangled dependencies that are often seen with these types of libraries. Go have a look and sign up.
