Insight
Enterprise portals, though variously defined, are now achieving importance as a central integration point for the diverse information sources available in networked enterprise environments. Despite recent media focus, and some prominent attempts to fix a definition, enterprise portals have actually existed since the first intranets based on early Web technologies were placed on corporate networks.
Although a great deal of attention has been devoted to the subject of designing and building software, fairly little attention has been spent on the problem of designing and building software projects. Yet there are few software practitioners who would argue that the structure and operation of the software project are not important.
Software projects, like construction projects in the building industry, come in various sizes. Consider the following examples from the construction industry:
In November of 2001, IBM launched Eclipse, an open source project that aims at creating a common development-tool framework. IBM donated some $40 million of its software to the new venture. In June of this year, Eclipse released the first version of its open source tool framework. Last week, on 18 September, Eclipse released Version 2 of the framework.
