Re: Bite-sized Tasks for the Interested (was Re: Standards bearers)
Hello list, I've created a group on www.hiveminder.org for Perl6 collaborative task tracking and management. I've done some thinking and I've come up with a way in which I would like to maintain this group, its organizers and its members. Organizers ( moderators ) - A group organizer ( much like myself ) has the ability to add tasks to the 'up for grabs' section. This is where all Perl6 related tasks should be placed first, since they have yet to be assigned. An organizer is able to check and see the status of who/what is going on with a certain task that has been assigned to a group 'member'. I believe a group organizer also has the ability to appoint tasks to group members. Members ( our community hackers ) - A group member is an individual who can freely login ( once an invite has been sent to them ), check to see what's 'up for grabs' and self assign a given task to him/herself. These tasks can be monitored by the group organizer(s). [ a call for organizers ] Ok, so here is what I need. I would like a few key individuals ( namely those in a position to make decisions regarding what is/is not a task for Perl6 related development ) to get involved as group organizers. This way key individuals who know what is going on with the group and what needs to be done next are able to post those tasks in the 'up for grabs' section. [ a call for members ] For those of you who are planning on contributing your time and code, a response to me off list would be greatly appreciated. This way I can send you all invites through hiveminder and we'll be well on our way to better Perl6 task organization. end note... Any questions? :) -- _ispy++ [EMAIL PROTECTED] :: use Perl;

I understand that a little bit of administrative overhead is useful, but I'd also like to see as little friction to getting started as possible. If the solution is to put a link on the appropriate Perl 6 sites saying Bite-sized tasks for the interested, see this wiki page and then hop on this IRC channel or send a mail to this list, that's probably fine. -- c

Re: Bite-sized Tasks for the Interested (was Re: Standards bearers)
Sounds like a good plan to me. It's one of those bite-sized tasks that will grow with time, but will make the overall process move along. Feel free to tag me offlist for help, too. --- ispyhumanfly [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: chromatic wrote: On Tuesday 11 December 2007 09:20:22 Paul Hodges wrote: But on this general note, is there any current organization or location where small problems are being parcelled out? I'd love to help, but my time is as limited as everyone's If I could get small bites of work to do, maybe I could contribute something useful. Anyone requesting one black-box module or function at a time? Or am I pipe dreaming? I used to publish a Pugs and a Parrot task of the week in the Perl.com newsletter, but there didn't seem to be much uptake and so it slowly dissolved. It might be nice to have a small list of bite-sized tasks for the interested linked off of dev.perl.org/perl6 and the various project pages. I know there's a Perl 6 wiki around here somewhere, so in theory all we need is someone to prune the page regularly and poke various projects asking for a couple of small tasks for the uninitiated. -- c I realize now I sent a post directly to chromatic regarding this issue, but I've developed an idea using an existing technology that could really help for organizing something like this. www.hiveminder.com is a task/to-do list organizer application written using Jifty. It's created and mainted by the Best Practical team. I would be willing to maintain a group on hiveminder and people interested in getting involved can create accounts and have tasks assigned to them. These tasks could easily be tracked and monitored in an organized fashion with rss feeds available for viewing by say; perl.org?
