Maintainers,
Hi.
I know there is plan to deliver QuantLib 1.0 as a stable and production
version. In fact, I believe we already has production users of
QuantLib, but I believe that whole idea is the project itself would
change its status to a Production software with this release.
However, it also means that some contributions would have to wait more
in order to not cause a mis function in the 1.0 version.
May you give us (user and eventual contributor) an overview about what
your are doing and current plans? I have myself some questions:
- Are you already have a desirable release date? I mean some data
you wish to deliver but doesn't know if you will be able to?
- If new classes and functions are not supposed to go to trunk
as fast as it was, how could we keep people motivation (everyone that
contributes good stuff want to see it code in the library, right)? Are
you more open to include test suite contributions to this new release?
- What is the experimental folder really is? Would you deliver it
in the QuantLib 1.0? What the polices to put or delete code there are?
- We have a couple of examples and hundred of tests. Do you believe
that it is a problem for new users? I mean, I already contribute with
test but never though about examples. Do you expect more examples in
the library or test suite itself is THE example?
- What the relationship of QuantLibXL and QuantLib currently is? I
see that QuantLibXL deploys some time after QuantLib. Once QuantLib is
growing fast, the gap between both are growing too. We are you doing
about it? What we (user, contributors and eventual contributors) are
supposed to do about that?
- QuantLibXL spreadsheets are not so easy to use. Everyone,
including me, already had (or have) problems using it. Do you expect
that users contribute with some spreadsheets, pretty like they to with
QuantLib test suite? I believe would could have a set of simpler but
based on proven examples (papers, books chapters, QuantLib test suite,
etc...) spreadsheets.
I appreciate any reply and would like you thank you for this project.
Regards,
