How to become a contributor?

To become a contributor to ATL Server project you need to do the following steps:

Get approval of your proposal

Submit your proposal to altsadmin using contact form on People and describe your proposal on high level and your credentials as a contributor.

Every proposal is going to be judged based on the following criteria:

Usefulness – How many developers who use ATL Server right now are interested in seeing this change? Or will this enable developers to do something that is not possible with ATL Server right now?
Fit – How does the proposal “fit” within the context of the ATL Server library? Is it significantly different than the spirit of the library? Does it significantly improve the “completeness” of the library?
Likelihood-of-success – How likely is the proposal to actually work?
Coolness – Are the components unique and/or great ideas that highlight the power of the platform?.

When submitting your idea, please write it up in the following format:

Contributor Name(s): Your name
Proposal: Overview of the problem you are trying to solve or idea of the new feature.
Description of the change: A few senteces that describe details of your solution to the issue or implementation of the new feature.
Standard Scenario(s): Expected usage scenario(s). Usually it would be a code snippet or short sample
Estimated Completion Date for prototype: ETA of completion of prototype
Estimated Completion Date for final: ETA of checkin of completed component

Email this information to altsadmin of the project using contact form on People and we will process them in order and get back to you.

Register on CodePlex.com

Create your account on CodePlex.com. You can find a link to registration in the top right corner of the page.

Request and sign the Community Assignment Form

Once your proposal have been approved by the coordinator of the project, email to ssiadmin and request Assignment Agreement form. Please make sure to put in subject "ATL Server Library and Tools Project: Requesting the Assignment Agreement". Once CodePlex team receives your email, they are going to send you electronic version of the agreement which you must sign. The email from Codeplex team is detailing how to use the electronic process as well as a blank form to reference before signing.

Once you have signed the agreement on the electronic site, you will be notified of its completion. Notify the coordinator of ATL Server project that you have completed signing the agreement.

Install Source Control software

You may access source code of the project via the Internet using either free add on Visual Studio Team Explorer, or CodePlex Source Control Client . For detailed instructions for installing Visual Studio Team Explorer please see Obtaining the Team Explorer Client.

Anyone can go to the ATL Server project site and view or download source, view current issues or look at the project "Wiki". No permissions are required for that access.

Start contributing to the project

Once the form is received and Team Explorer is installed, contributors will be granted a developer account on the ATL Server project. Developers are allowed to check in source code changes to the project.

Please note that all code included in the Toolkit is licensed under Microsoft Limited Permissive License (MS-LPL). For complete details of the license refer to the license tab on the site. A copy of the license is also included with the Toolkit distribution.

Foreword from Visual C++ team
The Visual C++ team is very pleased to announce the release of ATL Server library code as a shared source project on CodePlex. We hope you will enjoy working on the ATL Server code! You now have the opportunity to add all the features and functionality you want to ATL Server and you can even share your expertise and code directly with the ATL community. Rather than constrain the functionality of ATL Server to fit within Visual C++ product development cycle you can move it forward at a greater pace and implement every feature or change you want in it. We look forward to the evolution of this library under the stewardship of the ATL Server community!

Introduction to the project
ATL Server is a library of C++ classes that allow developers to build internet based applications. It provides much of the functionality required to build large scale internet sites, such as SOAP messaging, caching facilities, threading facilities, regular expression processing, management of session-state, performance monitoring, MIME support, integration with IIS and class for interacting with security and cryptographic infrastructure.

Terms and requirements to use ATL Server in applications are covered by Microsoft Limited Permissive License (MS-LPL) . The basic terms of the license indicate:

You can read, edit, and redistribute the source code for either commercial or non-commercial purposes,
You are allowed to charge a licensing fee for the modified work
The use of the code is limited to the Windows platform.

For full and complete details of the license, and to see if it meets your requirements, you should refer to the MS-LPL license .

List of content of the project
The following parts of ATL Server will part of the shared project:

Core ATL Server Framework classes in atlisapi.h, atlstencil.h, atlserr.h
Caching classes in atlcache.h
Cryptography classes in atlcrypt.h
HTML generation on server side and reading on client sides in atlhtml.h
Performance monitoring classes in atlperf.h
Extension management classes in atlextmgmt.h
Server and client side support for SOAP based Web services in atlsharedsvc.h, atlsoap.h
Session-state classes and interfaces in atlsession.h
MIME/SMTP support in atlmime.h and atlsmtpconnection.h
Regular Expression support from atlrx.h
Stream helpers in atlsoap.h and atlhtml.h

The source code to the following tools will also become part of the shared source project:

clstencil.exe - used in running Request Handler DLLs or SRF Files from the command line
sproxy.exe - used in generating proxy classes for SOAP based Web Service clients
vcdeploy.exe - used in deploying ATL Server projects to IIS

Instructions on opening bugs

Make sure you add a simple code repro, specify toolkit release number, version of Visual Studio, IIS and any additional information that may help to reproduce issue and make resolution of the issue quicker and easier
If you are not sure whether the issue is a bug in ATL Server or perhaps you do not understand how to use APIs in the right way, please ask about if discussions tab of the site.

Interested in contributing?

You may join the project by following steps describe here JoinProject.

Plans for future releases

More detailed guidance on using ATL Server with upcoming release of Visual C++ codename Orcas
We are looking on updating VS2005 samples and adding them to the project. It may also be possible to to see more new examples for the project.
Building a test suit to capture regressions and provide more confidence to developers when they make changes to source code. At this point, a version of a test suite that Visual C++ team used for testing ATL Server cannot be run outside of test automation environment created by VC++ team. We are looking on how test suite can be refactored

If you have any question about the project please use ask them on discussions tab of the site.

One Microsoft Way
Redmond, WA 98052

Please also make sure let altsadmin know that the form is in the mail.

Install Visual Studio Team Explorer

Contributions will be made through the ATL Server project at CodePlex. CodePlex allows access to a Team Foundation Server setup via the Internet. You can manage all of this directly within your Visual Studio 2005 or Visual C++ Express installation. You need to install free add on Visual Studio Team Explorer or you can use the command line TF.EXE tool that does the same. For detailed instructions for installing Visual Studio Team Explorer please see Obtaining the Team Explorer Client.

Anyone can go to the ATL Server project site and view or download source, view current issues or look at the project “Wiki”. No permissions are required for that access.

Start contributing to the project

Once the form is received and Team Explorer is installed, contributors will be granted an account and permissions to ATL Server project itself.
