| 3 | | This documents contains guidelines for software development within CLARIN projects. Since such projects generally have a limited temporal scope, and the original developer(s) will often not be available for support outside the context of the project, additional care has to be taken with respect to a number of aspects that factor into the 'sustainability' of a software projects. Providing good documentation, choosing commonly understood and well supported technologies, guarding quality throughout the development process, and ensuring the portability of the resulting code base strongly increase the chances of a piece of software surviving the end of its "parent project". |
