Dear @SoftwareEngineeringToolDemos/students:

The paper is making good progress, and we'll either submit to ICSE or TSE soon. But there's one hiccup; the ACM (who cosponsors ICSE) has specific guidelines for what you have to do to be an author:

Anyone listed as Author on an ACM paper must meet all the following criteria:

  • they have made substantial intellectual contributions to some components of the original work described in the paper; and
  • they have participated in drafting and/or revision of the paper; and
  • they are aware that the paper has been submitted for publication; and
  • they agree to be held accountable for any issues relating to correctness or integrity of the work.

For y'all, the first one is already done. The 3rd and 4th are okay too -- we talked about these in class. But as for the second one, it's just been me writing the paper.

Consequently, in order to remain on the author list, you must help edit the paper. Here are some ideas:

  • Read it over and make some minor edits (in the .tex file). There are lots of opportunities right now; I haven't even spell checked it yet. Don't be concerned about breaking things; I'll review all your changes.
  • Make a more substantial change, like clarifying some of the ideas. Feel free to submit more substantial changes as pull requests.
  • Take on some issues in the issue tracker. Right now there's just one, but I'll add more if you ask.
  • If you're good with R, the figures need some adjustments. Talk to me and I'll explain how.
  • Ask me a point of clarification via a comment (latex line comments start with %)
  • File an issue for me address in the paper
  • Other contributions are welcome, too.

Please make a contribution to drafting the paper by August 16th. The sooner you do it, the most easy changes are still available. 😄 Anyone who does not make a contribution by then will be moved to the Acknowledgments section. Feel free to comment below if you have any questions.

Thanks @SoftwareEngineeringToolDemos/students! I've updated the author list based on who contributed. Please have a look at 46e3220 to make sure I counted you.
