UML is a way to see how looks your program by retro engeneering oder write your classes by generate button.
I'm studying the softwares, their quality and theyr bad parts.

At the moment i don't have a prefered one.

this is what i started yersterday with modelio : http://hpics.li/97d438a

This is the perfect software i think, but the module for C++ cost an arm for a student. 300€ for one computer, or 500€ for a licence than can change of PC.

This is exactly ( UML ) what we need to start the project. I was wondering how to start properly with diagrams but i never have the idea of this kind of language exist and is normalized.

Hey guys i need U, i need some more involvers.

I think we need to get the project going for people to get involved.  More people will get involved if they see that work is getting done and that this is a serious project.

Sorry but I can't help on the UML. I don't even understand what it is.

I agree, we need start some code to see more people to get involved.

i've done this so far in UML :



First classes of the project. I'm still working on it. It's really helpfull this tool. Cost an arm, but helpfull
This is only a fraction of the class of the math lib. You can see, the project is really ambitious. We have all we need. SVN, ... just need some more good brains

I have a lot of work, so i do as far i can on my own time.

During the hollydays i'll have a lot more time, so i'm going to start the first 10k lines of code. I just hope some more people to help.

I personally prefer git, but I could help set up a repository of some kind if needed(I have a git repo on my server)

It is, indeed, easy to install Git on a server, through e.g. Gitolite.

ok would be nice

I use gitorious on my server because I thought it would be an interesting thing to setup. It took forever but its a nice interface to git.

Thanks, same for you!

I really hope you find the time to finish this, many developers suddenly dissapeared, leaving unfinished work, without anyone telling about it, that would be a shame if it happens with this project too. I wish you all the energy and time you need to reach your goal, I really hope you do so.

For the moment, i'm looking to create the structure of data with UML. But i'm not an expert in UML and very advanced things in C++. So I improve my skills a the moment.

Help with that is welcome, This is a bit hard for me today, and i'm moving forward too slowly. I've done Test with modelio and the next step is to do the structure of data on Umbrello. During the hollydays i was so sick i couln'd work, and in two weeks i'll do my exams. So my work on it is on "pause mode".

On hardware, i've done some progress. A friend in my school is on hardware project. He's gonna design the PCB & most the specifications aren't anymore drafts.

But software is very very important part. And it's a real problem to start it on the good way. Specifications are writed on paper. The data and the calc engine is gonna to be very strong. So hard to program it, and harder to start well. That's why i've done already some test in starting it, but i need more skills to do it in a better way. This 50k lines of codes of this start should be perfect, because this is a project of more 1M lines of code, the "kernel" part that is the math engine can't be odd or difficult too understand to use, or bugged.

So, i need some help to that part, because i feel a bit stuck, i've some contacts, but they don't have much more time. So more help is needed.
