+1 Give it a go +1 move it -----Original Message----- From: Anthony Merlino [mailto:anth...@vergeaero.com] Sent: Thursday, December 26, 2019 6:52 AM To: dev@nuttx.apache.org Subject: [PROPOSAL] Collaboration on NuttX Workflow
Hi all, I would like to propose a method of collaboration for the workflow requirements. Nathan and Brennan have done some legwork that is now on the Wiki - which is a great starting point. Unfortunately, it hasn't seen much collaboration other than a few comments. I believe part of the issue here is that no one wants to go in and change someone else's proposal. The wiki is also not the most friendly to use for collaboration and has no method of tracking changes (at least to my knowledge). I have started a CONTRIBUTORS.md file in a personal fork of incubator-nuttx: https://github.com/antmerlino/incubator-nuttx/blob/antmerlino-contributors-md/CONTRIBUTORS.md For those not familiar, CONTRIBUTORS.md is a common file found in many other open source projects that tells interested parties how to contribute to the project. It is essentially the workflow document. I have asked David to show me the ropes of suggesting changes in the Github UI. The suggested changes land as separate commits, which allows us to track changes and authorship while developing this document. You can also pull the repo, make changes, and open a PR against the branch too, if you don't want to work in Github. Of course we can squash it all together at the end when/if we merge it in. This is a much more collaborative way of working. We can make comments in context, see what others are suggesting, and integrate that feedback quickly into the deliverable. Otherwise we are waiting for some poor soul to do 90% of the work themselves and then do the extra 10% work of integrating people's feedback from the emails. That's not a good collaboration method. If others are keen on this idea, I propose that we move this branch and PR from my personal fork, to the incubator-nuttx repository, collaborate on the PR, and land when we are all happy. Based on the discussion here, I will call a vote to move the PR and branch. Best, Anthony
