It's totally fine, sure.

Bug#738713: Implement whatcanidofordebian.org?

2014-03-03 Thread Olivier Berger
Hi.

Oliver Propst oliver.pro...@gmail.com writes:

 Mozilla have developed the simple free webapp, asknot [1]. The idea is that
 the user is asked if he/she is interested in contributing in a particular
 area, the user can then either ask for more details or reject the idea and
 get another suggestion [2].

 By asking the user upfront about areas of interest it complements the
 traditional approach to inform potential contributors to contributions
 opportunities .

 I think this something that the Debian could implement. Beside a domain
 what is needed is a design (and custom urls of course). I would be glad to
 volunteer to work on the content/urls.

 Anything the team are interested in working on?


I'm not particularly active in the WWW team, but maybe I can share some
bits, related to your suggestion.

You may see in https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=738713
a suggestion for implementing a Web variant of the how-can-i-help
program. I think this is somehow related to what you're proposing.

You may get more details about how-can-i-help at
https://wiki.debian.org/how-can-i-help

Hope this helps ;)

Best regards,

Hey,

Just as Christophe Siraut pointed out [1], the main selling point of
how-can-i-help is its ability to show opportunities related to packages
installed on your system.

You can use it with with '--all' and '--old' options to get a complete
list of all opportunities (even those from not installed packages) and
then parse it. However, I don't think it's a good approach as you want
to get a complete, unfiltered list of all opportunities, not a filtered
one (so forcing a filtering program to skip filtering and output
provided data directly is just redundant). You can get the whole list of
'opportunities' in gzipped JSON format from UDD [2] and then parse and
filter it according to your needs (you should ask Lucas Nussbaum if it's
fine to use UDD to feed production version of whatcanidofordebian.org).

You may also like to take a look at [3] - maybe you can find something
that you can use in your project there?

T.
