[Wed May 27 18:16:59 2015] <jan____>: Iâm not sure what to change, but we are missing a few key people doing some more or less boring work to get things over the hump [Wed May 27 18:17:06 2015] <jan____>: Iâm not sure how to activate them [Wed May 27 18:17:52 2015] <jan____>: if anyone has any ideas, please let me know :) [Wed May 27 18:17:53 2015] <robertkowalski>: #info jan____ needs help testing https://github.com/apache/couchdb-chttpd/pull/33#issuecomment-105253198 [Wed May 27 18:18:20 2015] <michellep>: how boring is the work [Wed May 27 18:18:43 2015] <michellep>: and what kind of skills do you need to do it [Wed May 27 18:19:47 2015] <jan____>: michellep: well, it is not new features, but making sure everything works and is consistent and easy to understand, and youâd need good understanding of the 2.0 architecture as well as how we got the slick behaviour of 1.x (lots of hard work :) [Wed May 27 18:20:07 2015] <michellep>: :/ [Wed May 27 18:20:12 2015] <michellep>: maybe we could barter with them [Wed May 27 18:20:37 2015] <jan____>: michellep: yeah, realistically, thatâs not a lot of people, and they are all busy :/ [Wed May 27 18:20:45 2015] <michellep>: aw :( [Wed May 27 18:21:27 2015] <bigbluehat>: jan____: what sort of help is needed--even broadly? [Wed May 27 18:21:33 2015] <bigbluehat>: erlang chops? clustering know how? [Wed May 27 18:22:08 2015] <Kxepal>: bigbluehat: "all and more" I guess (: [Wed May 27 18:22:29 2015] <jan____>: bigbluehat: yeah, all that, understanding 1.x so well to see where 2.x is different and trying to smooth over the bump for end-users where possible [Wed May 27 18:22:43 2015] <bigbluehat>: gotcha. [Wed May 27 18:22:59 2015] <bigbluehat>: any specific targets? issues? or docs that even guess at the divide and path at this point? [Wed May 27 18:23:26 2015] <bigbluehat>: it does sound like a rather vast chasm :-/ [Wed May 27 18:23:27 2015] <jan____>: bigbluehat: target: ship apache-couchdb-2.0.0.tar.gz :) [Wed May 27 18:23:34 2015] <bigbluehat>: hehe [Wed May 27 18:23:47 2015] <bigbluehat>: tar -...something...I always forget that bit [Wed May 27 18:23:55 2015] <jan____>: specific blockers so far: http://s.apache.org/couchdb-2.0 [Wed May 27 18:24:10 2015] <jan____>: (you need to be logged in) [Wed May 27 18:24:50 2015] <robertkowalski>: for me the main blockers are _config, compaction on cluster ports and also missing docs for running the cluster [Wed May 27 18:25:27 2015] <bigbluehat>: thanks. very helpful. [Wed May 27 18:25:49 2015] <michellep>: how much work/how many people for it to be done do you guys estimate it will take? [Wed May 27 18:28:24 2015] <jan____>: michellep: I donât know, with 2-4 key people, 2-4 full time weeks (where they can concentrate on this without distractions) might do the trick [Wed May 27 18:31:15 2015] <robertkowalski>: i will ping the cloudant erlang team ## Open floor ## [Wed May 27 18:38:07 2015] <robertkowalski>: I wrote a stream based importer for couchdb's bulkdocs which consumes LD-Json from csv parsers or mongo db .find() ! [Wed May 27 18:38:19 2015] <robertkowalski>: will include it in the next nmo release [Wed May 27 18:40:26 2015] <robertkowalski>: ASFBot: meeting end Meeting ended at Wed May 27 18:40:26 2015
