Re: Code development questions

[Puja Valiyil]

Just to tack onto David’s answers:
Master contains the latest code, it also contains the upgrade to rdf4j (from 
openrdf).  A number of developers work on systems that could not upgrade to 
rdf4j, and as a result we maintain a 3.x branch that is compliant with the 
openrdf Api.  Developers commit to either/or, it is up to the developer to 
forward or backport features as they want between master and the 3.x branch.

Timea,
Thanks for reaching out.
Some of your questions are addressed here in the wiki:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/RYA/Contributing+to+Rya
But there is still room for confusion. Your questions are good, and might
be something we should add to that document more explicitly.

   - your master branch is the one containing the official releases correct?

No, master branch contains the current development snapshot. Create a
request to pull your work into master.

> development  is done?

No, I believe 3.x/master is to track changes for a major modification to
use the latest release of rdf4j library.  You should use master unless you
want to work on that rdf4j upgrade.

Not really, our master is their described develop branch.  Their master
branch has no corresponding branch, but instead we use *tags* to track each
release.  This is how a bunch of our peer projects do it.

(even is rya is set to 4 the branch 3.x name is misleading, maybe

I agree, it does seem confusing.  3.x refers to a future major breaking
version.

Yep, Jira.  If you are new you'll need to create a user account:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RYA

Let us know if you have problems doing that.

Re: October podling report draft - please comment

[Timea Turdean]

Hi there,

Thanks for adding SWC as a contributor.
Besides my colleague Jürgen, we have additional 2 team members (including
me) currently working with Rya. And our focus is on Rya with mongoDB flavor.
The immediate goal is to learn the code base and find out how it integrates
with our software stack (PoolParty Semantic Suite).  Spoiler: so far so
good!
In general, I want to know hot to help the code base.

Best regards from Vienna,
Timea
