Open Source Development – Original Dolphin SVN Release

BISHKEK, Kyrgyzstan, Oct 30, 2006. Today, BoonEx Community Software Experts released the Original Dolphin SVN and from this day forward webmasters are entitled to take part in the development of Dolphin in cooperation with its original developers. The Original Dolphin SVN allows software developers to modify files simultaneously. It will also track revisions, store a record of all edits, and perform simultaneous editing. All the script modifications will be stored in the subversion repository, which BoonEx members can access.

Subversion means the most up-to-date version of the

code, more updated than the latest software release. With SVN one can access the SVN repository across networks, which allows it to be used by people on different computers. At some level, the ability of various people to modify and manage the same set of data from their respective locations facilitates collaboration within the community.

With the Original Dolphin SVN version release, BoonEx encourages community members to actively contribute to the improvement and development of Dolphin. Working together with webmasters, BoonEx will act as one of the developers and share its experience gained in the initial script development.

“We invite everyone to join our community, and take part in Dolphin development. Dolphin 5.3 – SMART Community Builder under GPL license was our first step toward making the product absolutely free, both in terms of price and in terms of rights to use. Original Dolphin SVN now makes a significant step toward bringing community members together and involving them with the Dolphin, making it truly Community, dynamically improving product just like Firefox or Linux”, says BoonEx Ltd. general director, Andrey Sivtsov.


Now, the Original Dolphin SVN is available for BoonEx members wishing to work with the script and to modify it to build a one of a kind community. To check the current version from the global SVN one should have an SVN client (for example Tortoise SVN or native SVN program). Moreover, it is possible to browse through an SVN repository across http, using the current web-browser. To submit modifications to the global SVN version one should be a member of the BoonEx Club and be accepted by the Dolphin development team. To be accepted, it's necessary to send the suggested modifications to the development team, where these suggested modifications will be tested on readability and code quality according to the Code Convention. All these procedures are done to ensure the quality of the Dolphin code and its modifications and to prevent spamming.
