- our current contributing [1] page is very outdated - we have to update it - search over all sling git repos is difficult currently - possible solutions which all have some drawbacks - search via https://sourcegraph.com - this does not seem to work properly (does not find all occurences), perhaps needs to be rechecked - git submodules - drawback is we need a module list file that to be updated manually (Jenkins job would do, but ASF does not allow Jenkins job pushing thinks to the git repo without having a real committer involved) - repo-checkout all modules locally and search in filesystem - cumbersome for a quick search
- committer & contributor statistics can be found on: http://demo.kibble.apache.org - login with demo user - set sub-filter to: sling-(?!site) - (excluding sling-site to avoiding tons html file counting in the stats) - be careful when merging external contributions into the sling codebase to keep the authorship information of the contributor in git history - define PR template in github with link to contribution hints in sling site, annotation best practices etc. - include manual steps to be checked before contributing that are not checked by the build automatically stefan [1] https://sling.apache.org/contributing.html
