Re: New ComDev VM

[Daniel Gruno]

Hmmm, maybe someone can look at 
https://jquery-datatables-row-grouping.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/collapsibleGroups.html 
and work out something nifty?

Not a terrible idea you have there :)

I have committed a test for this, available at 
https://projects-new.apache.org/datatables.html now.

However, it does leave a few problems, specifically on how to sort by 
programming language and categories, which I can't quite work out - 
ideas/suggestions are most welcome!!

With regards,
Daniel.
Maybe someone else will beat me to it.

Hi

Very nice site, a little idea, sort the projects on
https://projects-new.apache.org/projects.html?language#C, that makes it
easier to look at.

Hiya folks,
as part of trying out the new projects site, I have set up a VM inside
our infrastructure for us to use.
the VM is called projects-vm.apache.org and is tied to LDAP much like
people.apache.org is these days, thus you will need to have your 
public
ssh key in your LDAP profile in order to gain access. If you do 
have that
set up, and would like to access to the machine (some of you 
already have
access, others don't), just send me a line and I'll open up access 
for you.

The projects VM is set up to serve content via httpd, but only to the
TLS-terminator nyx-ssl.apache.org (thus you will get a 403 Denied 
if you
visit the VM's web site directly). To get to the test site, use
https://projects-new.apache.org/ . Similar, to try out the (very 
simple)
editing features, use https://projects-new.apache.org/edit/ (requires
your LDAP username+password and allows you to edit data for those 
projects
where you are on the PMC).

If you try out the editing features, do not that every edit you do 
will
generate an email with the new project data and send it to 
dev@community.a.o,
as a review measure.

I hope this will make it easier for people to jump in and help with
creating the site :)

With regards,
Daniel.

Daniel,

There is no "assuming" just do it :-)

You have a number of ComDev PMC members saying +1, and you are a PMC
member yourself. Let's have the code where we can start working on 
it and
let's get it to feature parity with projects.apache.org ASAP. I agree
with Rich that there is value in this already.

This is not to exclude the much broader OfBiz proposal, but it 
looks to
me like this solution is close to being ready to go as a 
replacement for
projects.apache.org and I already see some simple improvements I can
make in a coffee break at work :-)

Just as a note for the sake of truth, OFBiz has Content component

http://ofbiz.apache.org/doap_OFBiz.rdf disagrees ;-) but, assuming 
this
gets accepted into comdev, you needn't worry about doap files any 
longer,
as you will be able to edit it online instead.

  I very like what I saw, kudos!

Hi folks,
I was having a conversation with Rich (Bowen) some weeks ago, 
and the
sentiment was that our projects page ( projects.apache.org
<http://projects.apache.org> ) could use a big overhaul. It's
outdated, not very user friendly, doesn't really compile the data
into anything useful (mostly just displays "raw" data) and it's
difficult to navigate (no search abilities, no actual overviews).

Therefore, I propose that the community development project takes
over this project from Infra, which has no interest in
continuing/maintaining it, and revamps it with both a new site 
design
and a new LDAP/JSON-based information system which would enable
people to edit their project details online without having to
upload/change RDF files when something happens. This would also 
mean
that everything could be rendered in the browser instead of relying
on daily cron jobs to compile the page, and also allow us to add 
some
inspiring/interesting graphical charts and overviews/timelines.

I have been working on a proposal that follows these ideas, 
which is
available for preview at http://projects.apache.pw/ for those
interested. Only the first two tabs in the menu currently work (and
the extensive search feature), but that is still most of what 
the old
site has and then some. I am pondering on moving some of the front
page stuff to the 'Timelines' tab instead, feedback is 
appreciated on
this.

So, comments, feedback, questions, anything is most welcome,
especially comments on whether you:
1) think comdev should be responsible for the projects directory
2) think the proposal looks good/swell/nifty/whatever.

A few notes on the search feature:
- You can search for virtually anything within a project, types,
languages, descriptions, bug-trackers etc
- Try typing your committer ID or Apache ID into the box, and it 
will
show all projects you are a part of

If there is consensus for moving this into comdev framework and
collaborating on this, I will commit the proposal to a 
sub-folder in
the comdev svn repository and ask infra for a VM where we can set
this up.

With regards,
Daniel.
