----------------------------------------
Summary: Update documentation to add new PMC member
Key: WHIMSY-116
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WHIMSY-116
Project: Whimsy
Issue Type: Task
Components: Roster
Reporter: Christopher Tubbs
I tried to use Whimsy to add a new PMC member, but wasn't able to get it to
work. I'm a PMC member and an ASF Member, and was performing this because our
PMC chair was not immediately available (and also I wanted to learn the
process).
So, I followed the old procedure of updating committee-info.txt with SVN (is
that still necessary with Whimsy? It's not clear.) and manually running the
ldap scripts, as described on http://www.apache.org/dev/pmc.html
However, that page seems out of date. It does not describe the correct way to
do it with Whimsy, and the instructions for using the ldap scripts no longer
work, because the scripts have been "disabled" with a message to use Whimsy.
(FWIW, I ended up copying the scripts, and commenting out the "exit" line which
disabled them. The scripts should probably not be disabled unless Whimsy works
in all cases, and should probably remain available as a backup when Whimsy
fails.)
The purpose of this issue is to fix the outdated documentation at
http://www.apache.org/dev/pmc.html (assuming Whimsy is working 100%) or to
restore the currently documented functionality.
