Interactive and collaborative source code annotation
2015
Software documentation plays an important role in sharing the knowledge behind source code between distributed programmers. Good documentation makes source code easier to understand; on the other hand, developers have to constantly update the documentation whenever the source code changes. Developers will benefit from an automated tool that simplifies keeping documentation up-to-date and facilitates collaborative editing. In this paper, we explore the concept of collaborative code annotation by combining the idea from crowdsourcing. We introduce Cumiki, a web-based collaborative annotation tool that makes it easier for crowds of developers to collaboratively create the up-to-date documentation. This paper describes the user interface, the mechanism, and its implementation, and discusses the possible usage scenarios.
