| Abstract: |
Software which performs specific useful tasks for astronomers can have
a very long life. If the user interface is simple enough and the code is
portable, the use can spread quite widely, and if the APIs for the
included self-contained subroutine library are straightforward, it will
be included in other packages and demands on the developer grow. How can
one person keep software useful and citeable for 30 years, and where does
it go from there? |
