PR Projects
This page lists the current PR projects. These projects are a mixture of hardware and software. Some projects include development of ROS nodes. Each project lists one or more owners who are responsible for seeing the project through to completion.
The list is in the process of being reviewed, updated, and transfered to trac. See project planning for more details.
see attachment:schedule.pdf for an inaccurate and incomplete gantt chart of progress. We are in the process of filling this in properly with time estimates, owners, and proper dependencies.
Software
- Lead: Brian
Most software projects will produce one or more ROS nodes. The nodes themselves should be documented separately, in the node code, as Doxygen comments. This includes the topic names, RPC services, parameter names, and so on, that are used by the node. Add links from the project page to node documentation as they are developed, to help other people find the product of your work. Keep in mind that, eventually, these project pages will go away, and all that will remain is the node documentation.
