While this increase is healthy, and a natural -consequence of the larger number of ACE and TAO users, it is straining -the resources of the <A -HREF="http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/doc-center.html">DOC Center</A> -<A HREF="http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/ACE-members.html">research -group</A> at <A HREF="http://www.cs.wustl.edu/">Washington -University</A> to respond to all the traffic immediately. Moreover, -our prompt bug fixes may actually be discouraging the creation of a -larger community of users who have deep knowledge of how ACE and TAO -work and can help provide bug fixes and new features. <P> - -Therefore, in order for us to continue supporting ACE and TAO -effectively and to allow the ACE and TAO user community to evolve, we -are instituting the following policies: - -<UL> - -<LI> All bug reports that are submitted using the appropriate bug -report form in <A -HREF="http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/ACE_wrappers/PROBLEM-REPORT-FORM">$ACE_ROOT/PROBLEM-REPORT-FORM</A> -or <A -HREF="http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/ACE_wrappers/TAO/PROBLEM-REPORT-FORM">$TAO_ROOT/PROBLEM-REPORT-FORM</A> -will be given a tracking number and entered into a database (which -will soon be available for public viewing on the Web, like the rest of -our documentation and source). Please use these forms since bug -reports that are not submitted in this form are likely to fall through -the cracks. <P> - -<LI> If a report or question is from someone <A -HREF="http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/ACE-sponsors.html">sponsoring</A> -our work we will respond to it in a timely manner. Please contact <A -HREF="mailto:schmidt@cs.wustl.edu">me</A> if you'd like to become a -sponsor. <P> - -<LI> If it's a bug report along with a fix we will also apply this -in a timely manner. <P> - -<LI> If it's a bug report that will prevent ACE or TAO from working on -a major platform used by our sponsors we will fix it in a timely -manner, as well. <P> - -<LI> If it's a bug report that doesn't fall into the preceding -category we will treat it like all other bug reports and assign it a -tracking number and enter this into our bug report database for future -processing. We will try to address this bug as time permits. If -you'd like an immediate response, please contact <A -HREF="mailto:schmidt@cs.wustl.edu">me</A> about becoming a sponsor or -contact <A HREF="http://www.riverace.com">Riverace</a> or <A -HREF="http://www.ociweb.com">OCI</A> for commercial support of ACE or -TAO, respectively. <P> - -We encourage bug reports for those without support to be posted -initially to the <A -HREF="http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/ACE-mail.html">ACE users</A> -mailing list at <A -HREF="mailto:ace-users@cs.wustl.edu">ace-users@cs.wustl.edu</A> where -the ACE+TAO user community may already have developed, or have an -interest in developing, a solution. While the core ACE+TAO -development team will continue to participate in this mailing list we -can not guarantee immediate response to all postings. <P> - -<LI> If it's a general question about how to use ACE or TAO feature -we'll try to respond as time permits, though we will also rely on the -experience of the ACE and TAO user community to field these types of -questions, as well. If you require consulting support for ACE and/or -TAO, please contact <A HREF="http://www.riverace.com">Riverace</a> or -<A HREF="http://www.ociweb.com">OCI</A>, as well. <P> - -</UL> - -Naturally, we encourage other ACE+TAO users to continue to help -provide fixes and advice in response to postings on the ACE and TAO -mailing list. <P> - -<HR><P> -Back to the <A -HREF="http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/ACE.html">ACE</A> page. - -<!--#include virtual="/~schmidt/cgi-sig.html" --> -</BODY> -</HTML> |
