Re: [Elementary-dev-community] Google Summer of Code Ideas
I'll repeat this as I'm also guilty of not reply-all'ing (reply-to header anyone?) It would be a huge help to have bugs labeled as easy and/or having a mentor available. See Mozilla for an example: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Introduction I looked at the issue tracker for something I could help with, but there is just so much. Maybe I'll start fixing this minor annoyance I found https://bugs.launchpad.net/gala/+bug/1278131 Pepijn On Wed, Feb 19, 2014 at 7:26 PM, Nikos Vasilakis nikos.a...@gmail.com wrote: This is a good point, and it is a universal challenge (in both open source and proprietary projects).

See Mozilla for an example: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Introduction Actually, we at least used to have something similar - the easy bugs and the ones good for starters were labeled bitesize. It seems we still have 42 such bugs open, see https://bugs.launchpad.net/elementary/+bugs?field.tag=bitesize If this is not documented in the get involved page, that should be fixed as well. Also IMHO we should link to get involved from the developer guide and note that working on existing apps is preferable over making yet more of them. -- Sergey Shnatsel Davidoff -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~elementary-dev-community Post to : elementary-dev-community@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~elementary-dev-community More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
Re: [Elementary-dev-community] Isis Beta1
2014-02-02 7:41 GMT+04:00 Cameron Norman camerontnor...@gmail.com: It looks like at the Isis meeting, you guys decided against Tent integration (at least for the time being). Should that blueprinthttps://blueprints.launchpad.net/elementaryos/+spec/tent-integrationnot be untargeted for beta1 (and Isis completely)? I've untargeted the blueprint from Isis, this is not a realistic goal for it. That said, I don't understand how is Tent support would be different from existing syncshare services like Dropbox or Ubuntu One, and how would the user experience differ from those. -- Sergey Shnatsel Davidoff -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~elementary-dev-community Post to : elementary-dev-community@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~elementary-dev-community More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Elementary-dev-community] What's up with Pantheon Notify?
Hey guys, I've noticed we still use Ubuntu's notify-osd in Isis builds. What happened to pantheon-notify? It was my favorite change scheduled for Isis, because notify-osd is pretty broken UX-wise. Last time I checked the standalone implementation was abandoned and the code integrated in Gala to avoid the window management mess that created. There was also unofficial notification log feature sprinkled on top, instead of which dock badges will be used. That still lives in a separate branch somewhere, as far as I can tell. Was there any progress on this recently? Is pantheon-notify still a goal for Isis? -- Sergey Shnatsel Davidoff -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~elementary-dev-community Post to : elementary-dev-community@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~elementary-dev-community More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Notifications were to be handled by gala itself, deprecating pantheon-notify (and its mem leak) but tom95 is busy IRL Sent from my iPhone On Feb 20, 2014, at 10:26 AM, Sergey \Shnatsel\ Davidoff ser...@elementaryos.org wrote: Hey guys, I've noticed we still use Ubuntu's notify-osd in Isis builds.
