The SQO-OSS project aims at developing a software quality assessment platform to Free Software developers. SQO-OSS is a project funded through the European Commission's Framework Programme 6 and consists of a number of European organisations with knowledge relevant to build such a platform, among which KDE e.V.. After more than one and a half years of research, design and development the SQO-OSS developer now have made available a first demo showing some capabilities of the Alitheia system. Alitheia stands for the ultimate and business-like truth. Read on for more details.


The significance of Alitheia 0.8.1 is the core being in a reasonably stable state and able to run metric plugins. Results of those plugins are being displayed in the webinterface. Some sample projects are available in the demo. Do note that the demo only shows the front-end of the system and little about its back-end, administration system. More information about the SQO-OSS project can be found on its webpage. If you want to get in contact with the developers of SQO-OSS you can subscribe to the SQO-OSS devel mailinglist or drop by on #sqo-oss on irc.freenode.net.

If you have any questions, such as how to develop your own plugin that combines metrics based on KDE's bug database, subversion repository or mailinglist archives, the places listed above are the right places to get started.
