1.1 Project Selection

We are doing our project on Oh My Zsh. We chose this project because two of our members use Oh My Zsh on a daily basis. We believe that this is a fun project that many people would enjoy using and contributing to.

Oh My Zsh is an open-source, community-driven framework for managing Zsh configuration. It includes many functions, helpers, plugins, and themes.

5 Easy Parts

We believe that the easy part of this project would be to run the git analytic tools and explore the projects communication methods.

6 Hard Parts

The hardest part of this project would probably ironically be coordinating schedules so that we can work on this together.

7 Milestones

To make sure that we hit all the deadlines, we are breaking this down into two sprints.

7.1 Sprint 1

We are placing the timeline for this sprint to be march 18th. During this sprint we want to do the following:

  • run git analytics
  • explore the project to find all their mailing lists, chat channels , etc

7.2 Sprint 2

The second sprint will be due at the same time the final submission for this project is due– march 25th.

This sprint will comprise of:

  • final blog post with a full report
  • making a presentation
