我们之间的对话-天文软件社区中的交流
Talking Amongst Ourselves - Communication in the Astronomical Software Community
摘要:
诸如ADASS之类的会议表明,天文软件社区内存在着对通信的热情。然而,在一次相对较短的会议中能够交流的信息和经验的数量确实非常有限。理想的情况是,这些会议应该只是更大的、持续的知识交流的一部分。在实践中,除了一些值得注意的--但往往是短暂的--例外,我们通常达不到这一理想。跟踪正在使用的内容、位置以及成功程度可能是一项挑战。各种各样的新技术,比如那些大致被归类为“Web 2.0”的技术,现在已经可以使用了,让信息流动应该变得越来越简单,但不知何故,似乎很难找到时间来保持信息的最新状态。这篇文章着眼于我们沟通的一些方式,过去的沟通,失败的沟通,不再沟通,也许可以更好地沟通。它的提出是希望激发更多的讨论-甚至可能是一点行动-以改善目前的状况。
英文摘要:
Meetings such as ADASS demonstrate that there is an enthusiasm for communication within the astronomical software community. However, the amount of information and experience that can flow around in the course of one, relatively short, meeting is really quite limited. Ideally, these meetings should be just a part of a much greater, continuous exchange of knowledge. In practice, with some notable - but often short-lived - exceptions, we generally fall short of that ideal. Keeping track of what is being used, where, and how successfully, can be a challenge. A variety of new technologies such as those roughly classed as 'Web 2.0' are now available, and getting information to flow ought to be getting simpler, but somehow it seems harder to find the time to keep that information current. This paper looks at some of the ways we communicate, used to communicate, have failed to communicate, no longer communicate, and perhaps could communicate better. It is presented in the hope of stimulating additional discussion - and possibly even a little action - aimed at improving the current situation.
