Hi All
We've been struggling to get any real progress or work started on the
project so am making a final appeal to anyone is willing to come onboard
as a potential committer or PMC member to help develop the project. It's
been a while since we had any community activity. I've tried to keep
things moving by responding to queries and questions but I'm not a
developer so cannot answer any technical or code related questions. This
means that we don't have any way to help or mentor any potential new
code contributors.
From my side - I am taking a break from ASF activities for while due to
personal reasons and so won't be able to continue oversight of Kibble
as needed by the board so it be good to find others willing to take
over, review where are, plan and then help move the project forward.
If we can't sustainably keep Kibble going then we need to seriously
think about starting a vote to take the project to the attic. It's an
unfortunate situation but it's where we are.
Please respond if you are willing to help keep Kibble alive.
I have looked at it a couple of times, but cannot fathom where
development is supposed to be happening.
The most recent changes have been to Kibble-1, but that repo says that
it is obsolete.
Thanks for looking!
What happened was that we cleared down the repo and moved everything to
Kibble-1 in preparation for starting the rewrite for the Kibble repo but
then nothing was really started. All the communication we put out there
said the Kibble-1 repo was no longer being developed and then things
went quiet - so to try and some activity off I suggested that rather
than starting from scratch - perhaps we could do a release of the code
we have running as the demo while rethink our approach for what to do next.
We got a few contributions to Kibble-1 from Georg who had done a test
install and thought that we might be able to move forward with the
Kibble-1 codebase with some fixes.
So the working codebase is in Kibble-1.
Also, this email is just going to the developer list, which does not
have a large subscription.
Maybe consider an email to some ASF Python projects?
Also dev@community, since I believe reporter.a.o make use of Kibble?
I did reach out to the ASF Tooling team to see if Kibble could be
interesting for them to take over as it does can provide project wide
statistics (It probably needs a bit of a tidy up to pickup any
incubating or new projects)
An SVN repo of an earlier version of Kibble was used to create some of
the stats for the reporter.a.o tool - so I don't think it's looking at
the Kibble-1 repo (unless the SVN repo has been moved). The thing I'm
not sure about is whether the reporter tool uses the same DB as Kibble
does to pull the data from as the Kibble scanners run everyday so the
data would be there already to read if needed.
If I get a chance I will try and post something to the comdev list.
Thanks
