Working Repository

SEI Pittsburgh Research

Back to project page

Working repository for the SEI Pittsburgh era archive. The archive is now seeded and restartable: it has a continuity layer, a startup validator, and an approved baseline of localized SEI-era sources spanning a broader paper floor, institute context, and direct bridges into the Quack and AOL transition path.

Current State Seeded era archive

The archive now has 12 approved sources and 12 local archive paths, with one preserved PDF supporting two transition entries and one localized HTML bridge reused from Quack with explicit provenance.

Ownership split Era deep here, person layer in Steven

SEI Pittsburgh owns era-specific depth; `steven-woods-research` remains the shared person-centric layer.

Canonical workspace ~/Projects-All/public

This shared-public checkout is the intended active home for SEI Pittsburgh work.

Repository Workflow

01 Incoming intake

New SEI finds land in `incoming/` first so raw captures are logged before they are normalized into archive state.

02 Era source review

Stable SEI-era sources are promoted into `source-manifest.json` with dates, URLs, statuses, and notes that explain why they matter to the era archive.

03 Local preservation

Preserved local copies live in `historic/artifacts/archive-html/` and `historic/artifacts/archive-pdf/` so the era archive does not depend only on live URLs or the Steven layer.

Seeded Baseline

Expanded SEI paper floor

`The Perils and Joys of Reconstructing Architectures`, `Software Architectural Transformation`, `Why Reengineering Projects Fail`, `Requirements for Integrating Software Architecture and Reengineering Models: CORUM II`, `Options Analysis for Reengineering (OAR): Issues and Conceptual Approach`, and `Architectural Evaluation of Collaborative Agent-Based Systems` now give the archive a more credible SEI paper-and-publication baseline.

Institute-context pages

The `News at SEI September 1999` issue page plus the current `Steve Woods` and `Jeromy Carriere` SEI author profiles now provide clearer institute and collaborator context around the publication lane.

Startup bridge retrospective

`SEI Architecture Practices Propel Successful Startup`, the `A Short History of Quack.com from AOL's Web Site` sidebar, and the localized `Another Feather In AOL's Cap` capture now give the archive three direct bridge references from SEI architecture practices into the Quack and AOL outcome path.
