Thanks for your reminder! I'm so happy to be accepted by GSoC. I'll
try my best in this summer to contribute to Marmotta.
I'm sure you will ;-)
In the first place, I'd like to set up the development environment.
I've read the documentation of Marmotta development [1]. Could you
please tell me where I should commit the code, in asf [2] or github
[3]? Which branch am I supposed to work with, the hotfix branch,
develop branch or the master branch? Shall I submit the patches to the
community or directly commit the code to git?
I do not have so much experience with GSoC, and as far as I've checked
there is no common approach among all ASF projects...
For me the best approach would be to use github for developing your
project. So, you can:
* Fork our mirror there [1] and give me (wikier) admin permissions.
* Create, at least, a branch from 'develop' for your project;
according our development guidelines [2], I'd recommend you to
use the issue [3] as name for the branch: MARMOTTA-444.
* I'll closely follow your development there, using the comments on
the code committed to provide you early feedback.
* Create issues there for internal issues of the project.
* But please use this mailing list for any further discussion.
* Since your project is related with code that is still evolving,
try to keep periodically updated your fork from upstream [4].
Therefore, at the end we have all information to evaluate if your code
it's suitable to be integrated with Marmotta, legally and technically.
I think that could work. Before May 19, you still have some weeks to
play with this environment, get used with Marmotta, and ask us any other
question.
Good luck!
