Hi everyone,
Some of the Puredyne and the Fluxus dev are gathering in Helsinki for
a three days long Puredyne sprint right now!
I thought it could be nice to drop a line and tell you what we're
planning to do in the coming two days and what we've done so far...
Until now we've been discussing on some mid-term and long-term Puredyne
development and more precisely how to introduce users story based HOWTOs
in the wikibook to give some insight and inspiration regarding how some
of us are using the system to perform, make installations, teach, etc..
Meanwhile we said goodbye to our old Trac, which relevant content will
be slowly migrated to the wikibook. For the rest we're happy with the
minimal Puredyne site, launchpad platform and this list/forum combo.
Right now we are working on a small bug fix release (Puredyne 9.11) and
right after we will focus on porting/updating packages to lucid for
Puredyne 10.04 Gazpacho :)
Next to that, we are trying to fine tune our live script generator which
in some cases is not working quite as expected... I'm quite sure we'll
fix that.
Last but not least, some work will be done to provide a better
multilanguage support, more information on that later... And of course
we're adding some new software in the live distro.
If you want to join the effort, here is how you can help:
* as a user:
- test Puredyne 9.10 and report bugs here:
join https://launchpad.net/~puredyne-community
fill bugs https://bugs.launchpad.net/puredyne
- tell us what is missing in Puredyne, what you would like to see
added, etc
- help fill the documentation, it's getting somewhere, but we still
miss some stuff :)
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Puredyne
* as PPA owner and package maintainer
- we could use some extra help to maintain some of the packages in
the Puredyne PPA and we're missing quite a few!
* as a coder
- we would be happy to get feedback on both broth and bouilloncube
project (shell script)
- we are still planning to provide some GUI for some of the scripts
above (python)
* as someone with supernatural power
- we could do with someone like that in the team, join now :)
