OK, so I think it would be good if for next week you aim to get the server set up (if it isn't already), update the schema for your new tables, document that, create the dummy code and put together a Gantt chart with as much detail as you can from what we've discussed today

How would you like my work "submitted" so to speak?
2016-05-21 14215, 2016
LordSputnik
Then if you have any free time left over for GSoC work on badges :)
2016-05-21 14217, 2016
LordSputnik
Hmm
2016-05-21 14223, 2016
QuoraUK
yeah, will do :)
2016-05-21 14240, 2016
LordSputnik
So GitHub, definitely, I'm just wondering what sort of structure we should have
2016-05-21 14254, 2016
QuoraUK
yeah
2016-05-21 14215, 2016
QuoraUK
would a PR a day work or would you like them more/less regularly
2016-05-21 14252, 2016
Leo_Verto
Hmm, why not push directly to a branch?
2016-05-21 14211, 2016
QuoraUK
thats good too :)
2016-05-21 14219, 2016
LordSputnik
Leo_Verto: the problem is that then we're likely to get a lot of code to review at the end
2016-05-21 14223, 2016
Leo_Verto
a commit log with good commit names should work quite well for documentation
2016-05-21 14247, 2016
QuoraUK
im not incredibly familiar with contibuting to formal projects so im not sure what the procedure is :)
2016-05-21 14256, 2016
Leo_Verto
"formal" :P
2016-05-21 14207, 2016
LordSputnik
So here's what I'm thinking: we set up a branch in the site, data and SQL repositories for gamification. Then for each stage of the project, you create a new branch for the particular features you're working on
2016-05-21 14225, 2016
LordSputnik
Then at the end of the stage, we merge that branch into the gamification branch
2016-05-21 14232, 2016
LordSputnik
With a PR
2016-05-21 14207, 2016
QuoraUK
so where would my feature branches be? in my fork?
2016-05-21 14216, 2016
LordSputnik
That way we review the code for each stage as it goes in, and we'll only have to do a small amount of integration testing right at the end when we merge gamification into the master branch
2016-05-21 14220, 2016
QuoraUK
but thats good yeah
2016-05-21 14232, 2016
LordSputnik
QuoraUK: might as well have you working on the main repositories :)
As for commit messages and size of commits, aim to start with a short (80-120 characters), descriptive overview of what's in the commit, then if you need to, write a longer note on a new line
2016-05-21 14248, 2016
QuoraUK
yeah, can do
2016-05-21 14250, 2016
LordSputnik
For the size of commits, not too big - aim to make a small unit of related changes in one commit - you'll be able to get a better idea by looking at some of the recent stuff we've done on -site, I think
2016-05-21 14218, 2016
LordSputnik
A few small commits with clear purposes is better than one big commit with everything you've done it :D
2016-05-21 14226, 2016
LordSputnik
*in
2016-05-21 14200, 2016
QuoraUK
yeah, Im taking a look at them now, seems like a good way of doing it
OK, I've invited you to the GitHub organisation for BB
2016-05-21 14205, 2016
LordSputnik
I need to re-arrange the teams because they're outdated
2016-05-21 14231, 2016
QuoraUK
alright, done
2016-05-21 14235, 2016
Leo_Verto
By the way, since it's still meeting-oh-clock
2016-05-21 14235, 2016
LordSputnik
Anything else to discuss today? :)
2016-05-21 14251, 2016
QuoraUK
no, i think thats all. that was a good meeting :D
2016-05-21 14258, 2016
Leo_Verto
I've suddenly got lots of free time on my hands so I'm planning to get back into BB
2016-05-21 14221, 2016
QuoraUK
I'll try and be at the monday meeting, but my exam is the next day so i may be deep in the books
2016-05-21 14232, 2016
Leo_Verto
started by looking at my trello board and saw "Write initscripts and logrotate configs for all BB services" so I think I'll work on that first
2016-05-21 14208, 2016
LordSputnik
Leo_Verto: I did write scripts, but they need to be installed - I'll send them to you if you want to take over championing those
2016-05-21 14218, 2016
LordSputnik
QuoraUK: OK, if you're not, good luck :D
2016-05-21 14226, 2016
Leo_Verto
Sure
2016-05-21 14227, 2016
QuoraUK
cheers :D
2016-05-21 14248, 2016
LordSputnik
Leo_Verto: I think it's what's in the /services directory on sakura
2016-05-21 14256, 2016
LordSputnik
(err ~/services)
2016-05-21 14257, 2016
Leo_Verto
Okay
2016-05-21 14244, 2016
Leo_Verto
Yep, there's one for -site
2016-05-21 14254, 2016
LordSputnik
Leo_Verto: I'm not sure we need any others
2016-05-21 14204, 2016
LordSputnik
maybe elasticsearch
2016-05-21 14211, 2016
LordSputnik
PG and Redis should come up automatically
2016-05-21 14236, 2016
Leo_Verto
how's the ws started?
2016-05-21 14245, 2016
LordSputnik
ws is out of action until we rewrite it in Node
2016-05-21 14255, 2016
Leo_Verto
okay
2016-05-21 14208, 2016
LordSputnik
And then it'll likely be very similar to the site script
2016-05-21 14215, 2016
Leo_Verto
yeah
2016-05-21 14245, 2016
LordSputnik
If you want something else to do as well you could work on the new WS design or convert some Jade template to React (although, you're probably the person who least wants to do that!)
2016-05-21 14255, 2016
Leo_Verto
:P
2016-05-21 14212, 2016
LordSputnik
Or perhaps have a go at implementing the new entity editing mockup
reusing what we have and not writing a bunch of new UI code just seems somewhat ideal

Okay (it's making sense, slowly). I'll check more into this, make sure that it works accordingly before diving in.

sure, I should be around tomorrow
2016-05-21 14235, 2016

Cool. Apart from that, I was wondering do we use ui files for creating dialogs in Picard, or directly write qt code for them?
2016-05-21 14254, 2016
bitmap
if it works out, I guess you can have some of your schedule focus on making the MBS results look nicer and adding a parameter so that it only returns the table + pager buttons
2016-05-21 14223, 2016
bitmap
pretty sure we use .ui files for most things
2016-05-21 14206, 2016

there's some hand-written qt code, but only where the qt designer is too cumbersome or limited, I think

I do worry how big the webkit portion of qt is. doesn't really matter on linux, but not sure we include that on mac/windows
2016-05-21 14202, 2016
rahulr
bitmap: I'm not sure I understand. How big, in which context?
2016-05-21 14251, 2016
rahulr
Umm, and what's different with mac/windows?
2016-05-21 14226, 2016
bitmap
the size of the QtWebKit module, I mean
2016-05-21 14203, 2016
bitmap
picard on linux is going to be using shared libs in most cases
2016-05-21 14233, 2016
bitmap
so it might already be installed if there's another qt app on the system
2016-05-21 14207, 2016
bitmap
the mac/windows distributions have to bundle all these dependencies into a single package
