Re: Fineract 1.x and RSA Encryption PR review

[Vishwas Babu]

>From reading a description of the issue in 1034 (have not looked into the
PR), an example where this functionality could eventually help (and is
distinct from our usage of HTTPS) would be in scenarios involving PCI
compliance in server to server communications.

Assume Org A  offers Fineract on a SaaS model. Further assume that Org A is
PCI SAQ D compliant, which means that this organization may
store/transmit personal details (Card number, CVV code, and expiry date)
linked to cards.

Assume Org B is a lending Fintech that builds on top of the API's offered
by Org A and has use cases like pushing loan disbursals directly to
external debit/credit cards (think of a country like the US where payment
rails provided by card networks are faster/cheaper than account to account
transfer alternatives like ACH or FedWire). To reduce compliance costs, Org
B decides to opt for  PCI compliance level SAQ A, this means that Org B
will not have any card personal data (in un-encrypted format) flow through
their network (or be stored by their servers).

If Org B wants to allow their clients to provide details of their external
debit /credit cards (assume from a mobile device) , these details need to
be encrypted from the Clients device, flow to Org B's backend, from where a
request is made to Org A's API. Org A would then decrypt the card details,
tokenize this card and pass an identifying token back to Org B's
backend, which is then used for identifying this card for future
transactions.

Regards,
Vishwas

Re: Migration to latest

[Vishwas Babu A J]

Hi Guys,

>>Only 5.7 and 8.0 still available at the community edition.

I am not sure if this is an issue. Ext. support for MySQL 5.6 is scheduled to 
end on Feb 2021, so we would also likely drop support for MySQL 5.6 in the very 
near future. 

>> Aws Aurora Serverless only supports 5.6
Ah, I see. I would guess the wouldn’t be too far away.  As a workaround, Aurora 
MySQL 2.* database engine is compatible with MySQL 5.7 and available in most 
regions.

Regards,
Vishwas

Re: General questions on using Fineract for new project

[Vishwas Babu A J]

Vinayak,

Can you please elaborate on the business use case you are trying to support ?

While the approach you describe is certainly feasible, you would likely run 
into a number of issues with reconciliation depending on how the other loan 
management systems are used.

Based on the kind of financial institutions whose data is tracked in the other 
LMS and the process they follow you might run into issues ranging from exotic 
products whose calculations you might not be able to match a 100% in Mifos to 
cascading effects around editing/ adding backdated transactions causing 
mismatches around appropriation of payments across different systems. IMO, if 
all you are trying to do is to get a consolidated view of loan portfolios 
across different systems and running an accounting process on top of them, 
skipping the need to reprocesses all transactions again in what is effectively 
a  “Data warehouse” should simplify the process.

Regards,
Vishwas

Re: From Persistent Systems for new CBS

[Vishwas Babu A J]

Pratap,

The answer would largely depend on your use case and expected time to market.

If your CBS needs to have a full fledged loans module, deposit module including 
current accounts / savings accounts / recurring & fixed deposits and you expect 
to go live in couple of months, you should go with Fineract 1.x

If your CBS is going to be used primarily for high transactional wallets and 
you expect to have 20 million customer accounts on a single tenant, you would 
ideally build on top of Fineract CN.

Vishwas

Re: Can long in community app

[Vishwas Babu]

Guys,

Please ensure that your fineract platform is up and running before
connecting with the community app.

Instructions for setting up and verifying the installation by using the
code from the develop branch or
https://github.com/apache/fineract/tree/1.3.1 (1.3.1) follow :

1) Ensure the requisite software is set up as described in
https://github.com/apache/fineract#requirements
Please ensure that your MySQL credentials match those listed at
https://github.com/apache/fineract/blob/develop/fineract-provider/build.gradle#L141


2) Start the fineract platform by running the 3 commands listed at
https://github.com/apache/fineract#instructions-how-to-run-for-local-development
 .

3) Try running
https://localhost:8443/fineract-provider/api/v1/clients?tenantIdentifier=default
on
your browser (with credentials mifos/password).
At this step, you might have to accept the validity of the locally signed
certificate.

If you are not able to get a 200 OK, there is an issue with your Fineract
installation. Please share the log file at server startup and we can help.

Following this, you should be able to log in from the community app as well.

@scott: Tomcat might be logging the port it is listening to as 8080.
However, tomcat would only be listening on https://localhost:8443
(irrespective of which instructions you followed)

Regards,
Vishwas

Re: Integration - Retry/Repeated/concurrent calls

[Vishwas Babu A J]

Sergio,

A quick clarification:

https://github.com/apache/fineract/pull/515 
<https://github.com/apache/fineract/pull/515> allows setting a globally unique 
client generated identifier for a command. This allows the client to later 
query for the status of the execution of the command associated with this guid 
if the response is lost in transit etc. At the server side, the guid is assumed 
to be unique.

By adding a unique constraint to the command source table, we can enforce the 
uniqueness of the client generated identifier at the server side, thereby 
ensuring duplicate requests are not served. However, this approach would likely 
result in a write penalty for very large installations.

Alternatives could be to check the presence of this key in an in memory key 
value store, something along the lines of setnx in Redis (assuming duplicates 
requests are sent in a fixed time interval). We could maybe handle this from an 
infrastructure level too, by carrying out this check at the API gateway,

Regards,
Vishwas

Here is a pr https://github.com/apache/fineract/pull/515

Re: Fineract-CN - ActiveMQ vs Kafka

[Vishwas Babu]

Hello Giorgio,

>>1. do you think feasible to replace/mantain Kafka support instead
ActiveMQ for increasing scalability and ScyllaDB instead Cassandra? For
what reason do you use Cassandra? (with those changes i bet you can gain
10% performance on heavy load).

Cassandra is primarily used for logging commands ( see
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FINERACT/CQRS+in+Fineract+CN )
and journal entries.

+1 for Kafka
Tentative +1 for ScyllaDB (considering potential licensing issues with
ScyllaDB primarily using AGPL. Drivers, etc seem to use Apache 2.0 though).

>> 3. Which is the bare minimum to run / refactor for fineract-cn?

Depends on the approach taken for running fineract-cn
->
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FINERACT/How+To+Build+Apache+Fineract+CN
needs
the most resources
-> Docker-based approaches need similar / slightly lesser (?) resources.
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FINERACT/Bare+minimum+to+run+Fineract-CN+locally
has
instructions for bringing up the minimal set of services
-> For development, manually bringing up the required services from the
command line requires the least resources. Instructions at

Re: Getting started challenges

[Vishwas Babu]

Hi Scott,

Sorry you are facing these issues in getting started !

It looks like the last commit made on the develop branch on Fineract
platfrom has broken the build. For the time being, you can either

-> Locally revert the last commit
-> Use the codebase of an older release like
https://github.com/apache/fineract/commits/1.3.1

Regarding the community-app, you might probably be facing some issues with
node / ruby dependencies. Maybe share the errors you see when running grunt
serve ?

Vishwas

https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FINERACT/2020-01+January+Report ,
please feel free to add to the same.

Regards,
Vishwas

Reminder : Fineract Survey , due date extended to Nov 21st

[Vishwas Babu (Apache)]

Hello All,

James had earlier shared the below link for a quick survey to help us
better understand our community
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScTWTaNds_YlMUdJ6UJvRgJsNJLKyRqmYeH_MgEvQWySriuWQ/viewform?vc=0=0=1=mail_form_link
.

We request you to please make some time to fill out this survey if you have
not done so already.

We have so far recorded 33 responses to the same and will be extending the
deadline for completion to Thursday the 21st of November.

Regards,
Vishwas

Re: Record api traffic (Fineract 1.x)

[Vishwas Babu A J]

Niklas,

I am not entirely sure what you mean, Fineract works only on HTTPS . If you 
want it to work on HTTP, you would have to remove all requires-channel="https" 
attributes from 
https://github.com/apache/fineract/blob/develop/fineract-provider/src/main/resources/META-INF/spring/securityContext.xml#L37

Vishwas

Re: About support for revolving credit in Fineract

[Vishwas Babu A J]

That is correct. You would need to make changes similar to those at 
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FINERACT/Line+of+Credit to support 
this functionality in Fineract

Re: Should we archive MariaDB and Data-jpa repositories ?

[Vishwas Babu A J]

Hello All,

Adding some context regarding the review comments made on the approach taken 
for the MySQL to PostgreSQL migration during a code walkthrough with Ed and 
Isaac.
In the context of each microservice (take accounting for example) , the changes 
required are encapsulated in 
https://github.com/apache/fineract-cn-accounting/commit/9c23639f71981e3dc74a6351df35d9af624ff0d6.
 At a high level , these changes are limited to
1) Updating dependencies to the DB specific library (i.e the equivalent of 
https://github.com/apache/fineract-cn-mariadb) in the gradle build and the 
connection settings2) Updating a bunch of imports related to classes used from 
the DB specific library (essentially replacing each occurrence of 
*.mariadb.config.EnableMariaDB with *.postgresql.config.EnablePostgreSQL,  
MariaDBInitializer with PostgreSQLInitializer etc)3) Tweaking Flyway SQL 
scripts to work on the particular database engine
I would have preferred if
(a) Before doing (2) , we had refactored 
https://github.com/apache/fineract-cn-mariadb to be the reference 
implementation (generalize symbols likeMariaDBInitializer -> RDBMSInitializer 
etc) and then have https://github.com/apache/fineract-cn-postgresql implement 
the same specification.(b) Setup build profiles on each microservice to pick up 
the right DB dependency (1) and set the root context for SQL scripts picked by 
Flyway (3)
The goal being that at the end of the exercise, we would have a POC to run with 
both the existing MySQL and the new PostgreSQL libraries based on the build 
profile selected. 
Going forward, the community would only ship and maintain PostgreSQL as the 
default RDBMs. However, those interested in supporting alternate databases 
could quickly have an initial version running on the database of their choice 
without the need to tweak any code other than gradle property files. They could 
also supply alternate DB connectors (implementing the fineract-cn-mariadb RI) 
and flyway scripts which could be hosted on our / related community 
repositories.

The business need behind this being the preferred approach was as follows:
As long as we are thinking of small MFI's, co-operatives , banks in smaller 
countries etc who are comfortable working on SaaS models etc, any database 
works. However, given the complexity of Fineract CN , I would assume that it 
would eventually be targeted towards mid size / larger banks who tend to be 
very opinionated on their tech stack. 
For example, in the company I worked for-> We came across reputed financial 
institutes who were simply unwilling to use MySQL forks as their OLTP database 
even if we met all the required performance benchmarks -> Over the years, we 
have built up a lot of expertise in fine-tuning MySQL replacement databases for 
high concurrency scenarios. Think Percona for banks having challenging 
performance benchmarks for 4 million active clients etc, skills which do not 
easily translate to tuning PostgreSQL for similar loads.
This being said, I don't really have any issue with any library being archived. 
Mainly because talk is cheap and I currently cannot commit the time to 
addressing these review comments.

Re: Typical chart of accounts for fineract-cn-fims-web-app

Hi Juhan,

The sample charts of accounts used by the demo server is at 
https://github.com/apache/fineract-cn-default-setup/blob/develop/accounting/src/main/resources/standardChartOfAccounts/ledgers.csv
 . I had been meaning to update my provisioning scripts with these details + 
provisioning of the portfolio micro-service, but haven't gotten around to the 
same yet :)

A low complexity and high priority issue that we want to fix is at
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FINERACT-726 . Since this is a very
small task, it could be added into one of the projects as a started task

Re: Identity service not found during microservice provisioning

[Vishwas Babu]

Hello Ebenezer,

Try starting the microservices in debug mode (either from the command line
or from IDE like Intellij) and then provisioning them via the API's
(essentially the equivalent of what the demo server does).

I follow the instructions at
https://github.com/vishwasbabu/ProvisioningFineractCN to do the same.

Vishwas

Help identify possible issues with the release process for 1.3.0 release

[Vishwas Babu]

Hi Folks,

I was trying to generate the report template for this quarter's Fineract
board report and noticed that the last release as per the template is

 - Last release was 1.2.0 on Thu Dec 06 2018

This might likely mean that something went wrong with the release process
for 1.3.0 release which was announced on the 30th of April.

>From the checklist at http://www.apache.org/dev/release-publishing.html ,
the following requirements seem to be met

1) Release announcement was sent out ( See
https://lists.apache.org/api/source.lua/443eff0ff061c0af46895b723397602b337dd2b0ccd820273a80ac69@%3Cannounce.apache.org%3E
)

2) Downloads are available and our website is updated

The gap seems to be at

>>The proposed release is offered for a binding vote by the PMC

A vote was started at
https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/69179a2c3c6f39c286c2e2c32d6ed85bae5a439c060851d829484a50@%3Cdev.fineract.apache.org%3E
.
However, it does not look like the same was closed ?

Santosh, Can you please close the vote if not already done , we can then
check if that makes any difference to the latest release as identified by

Re: FINERACT-779 Travis CI broken, again

[Vishwas Babu]

Mike,

Looks like the additional logging causing Travis to fail is due to the
changes in the pr , i.e the introduction of spring boot actuator and the
associated logging of audit events

Ex :

01:12:25.848 [SimpleAsyncTaskExecutor-11025] INFO
o.s.b.a.audit.listener.AuditListener - AuditEvent [timestamp=Sat Feb
23 01:12:25 IST 2019, principal=mifos, type=AUTHENTICATION_SUCCESS,
data={details=org.springframework.security.web.authentication.WebAuthenticationDetails@957e:
RemoteIpAddress: 127.0.0.1; SessionId: null}

Sorry, I can't look into it further (traveling and don't have a
fineract 1.x setup)

Re: Thoughts on updating Flyway Gradle dependency in order to isolate state between integration tests?

[Vishwas Babu]

Dylan,

Good job on identifying the root cause :)

While upgrading Flyway is definitely a good idea (purely from the
perspective of having the latest versions of dependencies), it probably
isn't required for the problem you are trying to solve.

Restoring the entire database (~350 Migrations) before running a TestSuite
would significantly increase the time taken for the Integration tests to
run. This could lead to other problems, ex: Travis times out jobs running
for more than 50 mins on public repos.

Would it be a better idea to fix the GlobalConfigurationTest instead ? The
change required would be to ensure that upon successful completion, this
test case has not modified any configurations (which is causing other test
cases to fail),
-> i.e update a configuration
-> validate it has been updated
-> then update the configuration back to its original value and validate
the same

Regards,
Vishwas

Re: Running IntegrationTest using different locale values

[Vishwas Babu]

Hi Angel,

>>Recently I’ve been running the integrationTest gradle task and noticed
that some tests were failing for me, however it seems that they work
perfectly for other people
This could be caused by

1) Integration tests fail when the default tenant has a different time-zone
than the system(s) running the application and database servers -
Additional details and suggested fixes at
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FINERACT-723
2) Integration test cases fail when run on the 1st of a month -
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FINERACT-722

To ensure Integration tests are stable on Travis, we hardcode the system
timezone to Asia/Kolkata (which is the same timezone of the default tenant)
and set the system date to the 23rd of Feb 2019.

Vishwas

Fineract CN : Missing integration test suites on Apache infra

Hi Myrle,

I was going through
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FINERACT/Fineract+CN+Project+Structure
and
was unable to find the following projects related to integration tests on

3)

I did find these projects on personal repos at

https://github.com/myrle-krantz/test-provisioner-identity-rhythm-portfolio-accounting

Were the projects migrated to Apache under a different name ?

Re: Unable to find Pentaho Processing Service in apache/fineract

Parth,

Fineract does not ship Pentaho reports or the related libraries (compliance
issues with Apache licence) . Head over to the Mifos community who
maintains distributions that include pentaho.

Re: CORS Error

[Vishwas Babu]

Hi Abhay,

The commit
https://github.com/apache/fineract/commit/eb5ad448fa6cb365dad7e2691f4c6f7e9bb1c196
was
causing the CORS preflight request to fail. I have now reverted the same
and you should be able to work with the latest develop branch or
https://github.com/apache/fineract/commits/1.3.1

@ Santosh: The latest fineract release (1.3.0) which ships this change is
broken, can you please start the process for shipping a patch release with
the newly created branch at https://github.com/apache/fineract/commits/1.3.1
(created from 1.3 branch with the pr for reverting
https://github.com/apache/fineract/commit/eb5ad448fa6cb365dad7e2691f4c6f7e9bb1c196
 cherry-picked)

Re: Optimistic lock error

[Vishwas Babu]

Patrick had reached out on Skype where he explained that they are facing
these issues as their number of transactions increase. Adding some details
of the conversation along with additional context back to the list

1) Possible Temporary fix: Fineract can be configured to automatically
retry such transactions

The table `tenant_server_connections` under the schema
`mifosplatform-tenants` has two columns `deadlock max_retries` and
`deadlock_max_retry_interval` which can be configured to control the number
of times and intervals at which such failed transactions can be retried.

These settings control the retrying of transactions throwing the following
exceptions
-> `org.springframework.dao.CannotAcquireLockException`
-> `org.springframework.orm.ObjectOptimisticLockingFailureException`.

They worked earlier (in the original MifosX distributions) when Hibernate
was the ORM used and Hibernate's exceptions like StaleObjectStateException,
StaleStateException and OptimisticEntityLockException were converted to
org.springframework.orm.ObjectOptimisticLockingFailureException. I am not
sure if they work post the change to using OpenJPA on Fineract (this is
unclear in the log snippet shared)

2) Possible Temporary fixes to improve performance:

Patrick seemed to be having an average response time of 3 sec.  They seem
to have sufficient hardware resources on AWS dedicated to the application
server, so areas, where we could optimize, would include

-> Consider using either MySQL or MariaDB driver which should perform
better than the drizzle driver used by Fineract.
-> Ensure MySQL is configured correctly for the available hardware. While
tools like https://github.com/major/MySQLTuner-perl would help identify
basic issues, consider moving to a managed enterprise MySQL compliant
database like https://aws.amazon.com/rds/aurora/


3) Permanent fix:
Deposit accounts on Fineract were originally designed for use as
Micro-finance savings accounts. After every deposit or withdrawal on
Fineract, interest calculation is carried out on the fly, starting from the
creation of the account. This approach wouldn't scale for a use case like a
mobile wallet for merchants etc. The only solution would be to make a code
level changes to decouple interest calculation (for total interest earned)
from deposits/withdrawals.

Regards,
Vishwas

Re: Does anyone know about this error?

[Vishwas Babu]

This doesn’t work since the move to Fineract (using OpenJPA in lieu of
hibernate) . You would have to start Fineract using Gradle and then debug
the same as a remote java application .

You should be able to debug Fineract platform as a remote Java application.

The only changes to dependencies between the two was made with this commit
https://github.com/apache/fineract/commit/8bfc1f63ab51f3f67ef600f3e94537fcd7f61e2e
 .
The war is built with the command ./gradlew clean war

Re: Building and serving fineract-cn artifacts with jitpack.io

[Vishwas Babu]

Hi Juhan,

Thanks for taking this on!

I would agree that 2 (changing the artifact name) and 3 aren't major
concerns. Changing the group name, however, is less than ideal as both you
and Isaac have pointed out.

If you are considering alternatives, we do have an open-source license for
https://jfrog.com/artifactory/ .

Regards,
Vishwas

[ANNOUNCE] New Fineract PMC member Santosh Math

[Vishwas Babu]

Hello All,

It gives me great pleasure to announce the addition of Santosh Math as the
newest member of  Fineract's Project Management Committee. Please join me
in giving him a warm welcome.

Santosh has been a part of the community since forever (2014!). For those
of you who do not know of him, here's a snippet from Ed Cable's
announcement of Santosh's committer status back in 2017.

Santosh has been an active member of the community since 2014 playing many roles
initially as the lead support resource, guiding documentation for the
platform. Most recently in his role as lead QA engineer for the community,
he has gone well beyond those duties doing triage and product management
for Apache Fineract (as well as the Mifos X distribution and apps that
consume it). Santosh is patient, thorough, and a deeply committed community
member. He has greatly enhanced the quality of the software and has helped
to streamline contributions by improving our triage and release management
processes. He is continually helping other partners, assisting volunteers
and interns, and most importantly supporting users of Apache Fineract. You
can see his active presence on the mailing lists, the issue trackers, and
our wikis.

Broadly agree with Juhan's line of thinking.

Or one user who authorizes different apps (including mobile and third-party

Hi Mua,

I probably would setup the Flyway codebase and determine what is causing
the error. Your error log has enough details to get started. i.e a
breakpoint at
>> error at
org.flywaydb.core.internal.database.base.Database.ensureDatabaseIsRecentEnough(Database.java:156)
should help you debug and figure of the issue. Once you have this
information, you can determine if the fix is needed in Flyway or Drizzle
(which is also a relatively small Java codebase).

Vishwas

Re: Error: Cannot add task 'integrationTest' as a task with that name already exists.

[Vishwas Babu]

Mua,

Regarding https://github.com/flyway/flyway/issues/2332

The issue isn't strictly related to the version of the MySQL server, rather
the driver used. Please provide any other relevant information that would
help the Flyway folks determine the root cause. At the minimum
-> Mention that you do not get this issue with MySQL connector, MariaDB
driver etc and are only facing the issue with drizzle driver (version
details etc)
-> Mention that the same worked with a previous version of Flyway (version
X.X) and broke after you upgraded to this version.

Since this would most likely be a very low priority issue for Flyway, they
might not provide a fix for the same. However, you could ask them to help
you identify the section of the codebase which is throwing the error and
possibly make a fix yourself.

>> would love to take up another issue if permitted as the response from
the flyway team may slow me down
Of course, please feel free to pick up any issue that interests you :)

Re: Error: Cannot add task 'integrationTest' as a task with that name already exists.

[Vishwas Babu]

Hi Mua,

This topic was discussed earlier at
https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/2d84501386e0479e9016e3c6cbbaafbcea0aa1afdff6f19caadc8658@%3Cdev.fineract.apache.org%3E
.

Here's the relevant snippet with details of alternatives for
TaskInternal.execute()

Details of a quick fix I attempted to work around the removed
TaskInternal.execute() method follow.

Using finalizedBy instead of execute ( i.e migrateTenantListDB.finalizedBy
flywayMigrate) led to the error "Could not get unknown property
'classesDir' for integration test classes of type
org.gradle.api.internal.tasks.DefaultSourceSetOutput". This was fixed by
upgrading flyway plugin to.

apply plugin: 'org.flywaydb.flyway'
dependencies {
classpath
"gradle.plugin.com.boxfuse.client:gradle-plugin-publishing:5.2.4"
}
}

However, this does not seem to work with the current drizzle driver on the
classpath (results in the error "MySQL upgrade required: MySQL 0.1 is
outdated and no longer supported by Flyway. Flyway currently supports MySQL
5.1 and newer"). It runs without issues if I swap in a MySQL driver though.


So, the work for completing the gradle upgrade is blocked due to the issue
with the drizzle driver (at
https://github.com/krummas/DrizzleJDBC/blob/master/LICENSE.txt), which is
no longer maintained.  We cannot change the driver to MySQL connector etc
due to licensing issues (GPL v2 used by the driver is not compatible with
the Apache license). The other popular alternative i.e MariaDB connector
uses an LGPL license, is also not compatible with Apache license.

Here are some things we could explore

-> Raise an issue with https://github.com/flyway/flyway and explore the fix
needed to be made for this error i.e "MySQL upgrade required: MySQL 0.1 is
outdated and no longer supported by Flyway. Flyway currently supports MySQL
5.1 and newer" when using Drizzle driver.
This error message seems wrong since the MySQL version we are using is
greater than 5.1
-> (Long term solution) Find another MySQL driver using a permitted licence
(BSD , MIT etc. permitted licenses at
https://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html#category-a)

Vishwas

Re: Error when running *gradlew runTomCat*

[Vishwas Babu]

Adding a minor clarification in case other GSOC students are referring to
this thread. After the installation, Fineract would be available on port
8443 (with only https supported) and NOT 8080. So a valid URL would be
similar to
https://localhost:8443/fineract-provider/api/v1/clients?tenantIdentifier=default

Also, Fineract should run without having ActiveMQ installed (the Travis
build and integration tests, for example, does not setup ActiveMQ)

Vishwas

Re: Error when running *gradlew runTomCat*

[Vishwas Babu]

Mua,

During tomcatRunwar, the following tasks are carried out

1) Initialize and upgrade the tenants list database (which lists details of
all tenants and their database connection credentials, i.e the equivalent
of ./gradlew migrateTenantListDB -PdbName=mifosplatform-tenants )
 You are stuck here
2) Upgrade each tenant-specific database.


The gradle tasks for migrating databases pick up the db credentials from
build.gradle (root, mysql by default). However, the tomcatrunwar task picks
up the credentials from a different location
(/fineract-provider/src/test/resources/META-INF/context.xml). You would
have to ensure the appropriate credentials are set here too, or that you
are using the default credentials (root,mysql).

Regards,
Vishwas

Re: Unable to build Fineract 1.x as documented in README

[Vishwas Babu]

Hi Larry,

After the failure, the file at
file:/builds/ivange94/micro-finance-backend/build/reports/rat/rat-report.txt
logs details of the actual file(s) causing the issue (AFAIK rat-report.txt
file shouldn't be the issue). If these are generated files, you could make
a change to ensure that they are ignore from the build (similar to what
Yannick has done at https://github.com/apache/fineract/pull/545 ) and send
a pr for the same. This could be your started task on Fineract :)

Regards,
Vishwas

Re: Query regarding Gsoc19

[Vishwas Babu]

Hello Harshit,

I believe that the particular project you are referring to is being
mentored by the Mifos Initiative.

Apache Fineract and the Mifos Initiative are two separate projects
participating in google summer of code.
https://mifos.org/blog/infrastructure-apache-mifosx/ gives you an overview
of how these projects are related. You can get in touch with the Mifos
developer community and Mark Reynolds on their mailing lists at
https://sourceforge.net/projects/mifos/lists/mifos-developer .

In case you are interested in projects mentored by Apache Fineract,
https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/5907d905e6f51e1b845d9a240920bb4d28c58d3cfceb24bbac2b3bf4@%3Cdev.fineract.apache.org%3E
would
help provide an overview of the type of projects we are planning. While
Penetration testing would be a great project for Fineract 1.x / Fineract CN
, I am not yet sure if we have an available mentor for the same here at
Apache Fineract.

All the very best for google summer of code!

Regards,
Vishwas

Calling all mentors for GSOC

[Vishwas Babu]

Committers,

The PMC received the below mail from Apache GSOC team today. Those
interested in mentoring projects through the Apache software foundation are
requested to follow the steps outlined in the trailing mail.

For GSOC, some of our immediate high priority needs include

-> Fineract 1.x: Hardening of the application, improving code coverage,
improving code quality, updating dependencies to their latest stable
releases and cleaning up the API documentation. All of these tasks together
will help us ship maintenance releases more frequently and easily going
forward. I shall expand upon the same on Jira over the weekend.

-> Fineract CN:  The Community roadmap at
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FINERACT/Apache+Fineract+CN+Community+Roadmap
might be a bit out of date. Would anyone be interested in updating the same?

We have started collecting starter issues and project idea on Jira with the
label "gsoc2019", see
https://jira.apache.org/jira/browse/FINERACT-135?jql=project%20%3D%20FINERACT%20AND%20labels%20%3D%20gsoc2019
.

Mail from Apache GSOC team follows

Dear PMCs,

I'm happy to announce that the ASF has made it onto the list of accepted
organizations for
Google Summer of Code 2019! [1,2]

It is now time for mentors to sign up, so please pass this email on to your
community and
podlings. If you aren’t already subscribed to ment...@community.apache.org you
should do so now else
you might miss important information.

Mentor signup requires two steps: mentor signup in Google's system [3] and
PMC acknowledgement.

If you want to mentor a project in this year's SoC you will have to

1. Be an Apache committer.
2. Request an acknowledgement from the PMC for which you want to mentor
projects. Use the below
template and *do not forget to copy ment...@community.apache.org*. We will
use the email adress you
indicate to send the invite to be a mentor for Apache.

PMCs, read carefully please.

We request that each mentor is acknowledged by a PMC member. This is to
ensure the mentor is in good
standing with the community. When you receive a request for
acknowledgement, please ACK it and cc
ment...@community.apache.org

Lastly, it is not yet too late to record your ideas in Jira (see previous
emails for details).
Students will now begin to explore ideas so if you haven’t already done so,
record your ideas
immediately!

Cheers,

The Apache GSoC Team

mentor request email template:

to: private@.apache.org

Re: Repayment of Loans

[Vishwas Babu]

Mexina,

Please take my responses with a pinch of salt as I have not used Fineract
for more than 3 years now.

>> 1. What is the effect/use of configuring NPA fields on the loan product?
Once a loan moves into NPA status, accruals are stopped on the same. I
think Fineract leaves the existing accruals that are not yet realized as is.

>>2. After you have put aside some amount by provisioning ( by posting the
provisions on accounts) is there anything happens when a certain loan which
was provisioned get re-payed or written off?
The provisioning process can be automated (through batch jobs) or run
manually. When new provisioning entries are created, any existing
provisioning would be reversed and the latest provisioning is done based on
the current statuses of active loans.

Regards,
Vishwas

Re: Fineract 1.x Dev Environment Setup Problems.

[Vishwas Babu]

Awasum,

I ran into the same issues when trying to run the Fineract codebase (having
worked on the MifosX codebase in another lifetime and assuming the same
build process would work). These problems seem to be caused by

1) Changes to project structure
gradlew moved from under /fineract-provider to under the project root.
This causes the issue raised by Juhan at
https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/f4cb9364504a13f71ea7654082274c7ff80c48b19ff76e8cadf3cc7f@%3Cdev.fineract.apache.org%3E
when the project is imported into intellij

The root cause of the gradle failure you are seeing is because the project
expects version 2.1 and your gradle version (based on your log) is 4.10

2) Hibernate replaced with openJPA
This breaks the ability to run Serverapplication.java . You would have to
rely on gradle for deploying fineract (task tomcatrunwar)

Regards,
Vishwas

Re: Repayment of Loans

[Vishwas Babu]

Mexina,

I am not sure if you are enquiring about provisioning and/or recovery
repayments.

Fineract has support for configurable provisioning, see
https://mifosforge.jira.com/wiki/spaces/docs/pages/110690335/Provisioning+Entries

and
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FINERACT/Loan+Loss+Provisioning.

If you are enquiring about Recovery repayments (payments on loans which
have been written off) which are treated as an income, Fineract has support
for the same too. See https://mifosforge.jira.com/browse/MIFOSX-281

Regards,
Vishwas

Integration Tests fixed on Travis

[Vishwas Babu]

 Hello All,

The travis build including integration tests is now passing on Fineract
(See
https://travis-ci.org/apache/fineract/builds/502297783?utm_source=github_status_medium=notification).
However, the root causes of intermittent failures have not been permanently
addressed and consistent runs are achieved through temporary hacks. Details
and further action items follow

  1) 1 Test case was failing due to the existing behavior of application of
Annual fees on savings accounts. The same has been fixed by altering the
current functionality and an explanation of the same can be found at
https://jira.apache.org/jira/browse/FINERACT-720

  2) 5 Test case failures were caused by three distinct issues introduced
after 1.2 release. The same has now been fixed and a separate mail has been
sent out with details on improving our PR process to minimize the
introduction of such regression issues.

  3) 1 Test case is failing because of changes related to
https://jira.apache.org/jira/browse/FINERACT-574. The same has now been
ignored while we await a resolution on the issue. This needs to be sorted
before we can ship a new release.

  4) 4 Intermittent test case failures are associated with the Office /
Client /Loan /Savings excel imports and associated test cases. These test
cases have been ignored and an Issue for the same is raised at
https://jira.apache.org/jira/browse/FINERACT-719 . I believe these failures
do not block shipping of Fineract releases.

  5) A number of test cases (>5) fail as a result of Timezone issues. The
cause of the failures and the details of the permanent fix required is
listed at https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FINERACT-723.

  6) Some test cases seem to fail on the 1st of every month due to a
combination of issues with test cases themselves, possible(?) application
and Timezone issues. A placeholder issue for the same is created at
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FINERACT-722.

The failures related to (5) and (6) have been overcome by setting a fixed
date and timezone for the travis build. Since these issues are present from
the 1st Fineract release. they shouldn't block us from making new releases.
I am hoping these tickets get picked up as a part of GSOC.

Regards,
Vishwas

Re: community-app for Fineract v1.2

[Vishwas Babu]

Hi Peter,

The community app supports multi-tenancy. You can customize the same for
your domain at
https://github.com/openMF/community-app/blob/develop/app/scripts/initialTasks.js#L9
.

The release tags are at https://github.com/openMF/community-app/tags. The
latest release tag, i.e MIFOSX-18.03.01.RELEASE should be compatible with
the latest Fineract release (1.2).

>>As we have seen, in the new web-app project a lot of key-features are not
yet implemented, so we should go with a version of the community-app.
The community-app showcases only a subset of the functionality available in
the MifosX / Fineract Platform.

Vishwas

Integration tests failing on Fineract

[Vishwas Babu]

Hello Devs,

At least 10 integration tests are currently failing on Fineract
(occasionally more since there seems to be inconsistency is how date/time
is used in newer modules like share management).

Travis CI has been updated to now run integration tests (
https://github.com/apache/fineract/commit/26d54592eb76d5dcc574f604f5f533f0d9d172f4)
and would take around 20 minutes to complete compared to the ~4 minutes it
took earlier.

All pull requests would now trigger build failures till these
integration tests are fixed. I shall spend some time on fiixing these
failures over the next couple of days and assistance is greatly appreciated
:)

Regards,
Vishwas

Re: Enable Travis for Fineract repo?

James,

The tests are run by https://travis-ci.org and the pass/fail can be seen
with each pull request (Ex :
https://github.com/apache/fineract/pull/527). History
is at https://travis-ci.org/apache/fineract .

+1 . It looks like gradlew and gradlew.bat were deliberately moved out from
under /fineract-provider to the project root as a prerequisite for the
migration to Apache. Another option might be to check-in relative symlinks
for gradlew and gradlew.bat (pretty sure git handles it fine, not too sure
about IDE's though)?

(to avoid them being auto generated or considered missing). Or completely

Re: failure to login to mifos community-app

[Vishwas Babu]

Hi Victor,

The relevant snippet of the error you are facing is

Caused by: com.googlecode.flyway.core.api.FlywayException: Migration of
schema `mifosplatform-tenants` to version 4 failed! Please restore backups
and roll back database and code!

You can fix the same as follows :

1) Try replaying
https://github.com/apache/fineract/blob/develop/fineract-provider/src/main/resources/sql/migrations/list_db/V4__introduced_oltpId_reportId_columns_and_tenants_server_connection_table.sql
and ensure the same is successful

3) Once you confirm that this script has run successfully (or that the
changes it seeks to make are already present in your database) , you would
proceed to tell Fineract that this patch has been successfully applied as
follows:

In `mifosplatform-tenants` , find the entry from “schema_version" table
where the successful application of this patch is being tracked

Ex: select * from schema_version where script like "V4_%”; (notice that the
value of “success” would be set to false or 0)

Update “succes” to “1” (i.e true)

Ex: update schema_version set success=1 where script like "V4_%”

Vishwas

Re: Upgrade Gradle version used in Fineract

[Vishwas Babu]

Hi Mike,

One issue would be the removal of TaskInternal.execute() method in Gradle
5.x which is used in all DB related tasks (explicit call to
flywayMigrate.execute() etc).

@Juhan : While I am not sure why the readme has instructions for
downloading gradle wrapper separately (given that it is a part of the
project repo and committed into the code), Mike's pr does update the gradle
version in the checked in wrapper and should be sufficient to ensure that
all developers are using the right gradle version. What you are suggesting
is upgrading the wrapper itself, which while undoubtedly would be good to
have, probably isn't a must do for this pr given that there do not seem to
be any major changes to the features of the wrapper itself.

Details of a quick fix I attempted to work around the removed
TaskInternal.execute() method follow.

Using finalizedBy instead of execute ( i.e migrateTenantListDB.finalizedBy
flywayMigrate) led to the error "Could not get unknown property
'classesDir' for integration test classes of type
org.gradle.api.internal.tasks.DefaultSourceSetOutput". This was fixed by
upgrading flyway plugin to.

apply plugin: 'org.flywaydb.flyway'
dependencies {
classpath
"gradle.plugin.com.boxfuse.client:gradle-plugin-publishing:5.2.4"
}
}

However, this does not seem to work with the current drizzle driver on the
classpath (results in the error "MySQL upgrade required: MySQL 0.1 is
outdated and no longer supported by Flyway. Flyway currently supports MySQL
5.1 and newer"). It runs without issues if I swap in a MySQL driver though.

Regards,
Vishwas

Re: DISCUSS: Architecture/Design for Enabling External Apps to securely access data on Apache Fineract CN

[Vishwas Babu]

As Self service functionality for an organization serving SME’s is quite
different from those providing digital wallets or  serving Agent networks,
the bigger question here would be , What is the scope of the customer
facing functionality and if offline first functionality makes sense for the
same ?

On a sidebar, It would help to keep this scope minimal and ideally linked
to a customer looking to take it to production and focus any additional dev
cycles organizations like the Mifos Initiative can spare on deepening the
portfolio / deposits and accounting modules which would have a
significantly larger audience.

Vishwas

Re: DISCUSS: Architecture/Design for Enabling External Apps to securely access data on Apache Fineract CN

[Vishwas Babu]

Hi All,

Adding some context based on our (Conflux Technologies) experiences with
MifosX / Fineract 1.x and summarizing a recent discussion I had with a
community member.

When it comes to customer self-service, the kind of institutions that we
have come across can be broadly divided into three categories

Bucket 1:
Traditional MFI's and Fintech lenders providing customers views of their
accounts through online, USSD and IVR channels. These organizations also
offer customers the ability to originate new accounts online.
A majority of the current Fineract1.x users would fall into this bucket

Bucket 2:
Digital banks and Fintech companies which provide additional self-service
capabilities including digital wallets, bill payments, money transfers and
remittances. Interesting needs in this sector include features like money
transfers without an active internet connection through channels like call
back IVR.

Bucket 3:
Financial Institutions with agents and business correspondents who
sometimes model their agents as customers with additional privileges and
serve them through enhanced customer self-service apps.
This sector occasionally has the need for offline functionality ( which is
robust only when combined with organization enforced business rules )

These applications themselves are built out independently and interface
with Fineract 1.x through the available back-office API's (NOT the
self-service API's which provide each customer a separate login) and
webhook callbacks. Some of the reasoning behind this approach as against
thin UI's talking directly to Fineract 1.x are listed below. With the
architecture followed in Fineract-CN, when customer self-service API's are
exposed through a new microservice, a majority of these items would be
automatically taken care of and we would then only have to contend with the
threat list that David alludes to.

-> Back-office CBS and customer-self service has clearly demarcated
boundaries
Tying them up in a single deployable unit would hinder their ability to
evolve independently. Organizations tend to be very opinionated about
self-service channels and these apps follow short release cycles with some
amount of customization going into each new implementation.
- A customer on the self-service app needn't necessarily be present on the
CBS.
Ex: Self-service apps for organizations like Fintech lenders typically
allow users to sign up, create a profile and apply for a loan.
- Customer/loans/savings statuses and lifecycle on the self-service app do
not map directly with those on the CBS.
For example, an application initiated by a customer goes through a process
of automated and manual sanity checks on the self-service apps, after which
they are moved to the CBS with a predefined state to join the regular
workflow (de-duplication, eligibility and credit checks etc). This is
typically different from the lifecycle of an application originated by a
teller.
- Fine-grained control is required on the granularity of information
presented on the self-service apps, which is different from that presented
to the back office. Ex: All products in the CBS are not shown as options in
the self-service portal. Similarly, for the products that are shown, the
granularity of information in the terms is a greatly reduced subset of that
available in the product definition at the CBS.

-> Deployment and scalability scenarios
 While these issues can be easily addressed through a combination of code
modifications on the self-service API's of Fineract 1.x and deployment
configurations, they have been listed here for completeness.
- Client facing apps need to be scaled independently of back-office facing
CBS and also need to have different configurations for rate limiting etc.
- The client-facing apps should cache all lookup data fetched from the CBS,
route read traffic to a cluster of Fineract1.x servers talking to
replicated databases etc to ensure that the traffic to the cluster serving
the back-office is kept to a minimum and remains largely unaffected by
spikes in customer traffic.
- Easy to turn off, monitor and audit client-self service happening through
a single login at Fineract 1.x

-> Security implications
 While these issues can be easily addressed through a combination of code
modifications on the self-service API's of Fineract 1.x and deployment
configurations, they have been listed here for completeness.
- Organizations might not want to expose their CBS outside of their VPN
- The security needs of client facing apps are radically different from
those of a back-office CBS and vary from organization to organization. Ex:
Organizations serving SME's need separate makers and approvers for each
transaction, organizations need logged in users to enter separate
transaction passwords + OTP's for authorizing each transaction etc.

Vishwas

Re: One-process deployment of Fineract CN

[Vishwas Babu]

Hi Myrle, Issac,

For folks like me who are trying to have a quick look at the architecture
and provisioning process in Fineract-CN, having an option for bringing up a
few micro-services relatively quickly using the demo server would be
helpful. The pr at https://github.com/apache/fineract-cn-demo-server/pull/25
adds the ability to restrict the working set of microservices
to Provisioner, Identity, Rhythm, Organization and Customer.

@James Dailey  : Maybe this might work for you
too? Running the demo server for the first time with demoserver.lite flag
turned on takes less than 9 minutes for me on an iMac having a local
Cassandra, MySQL and ActiveMQ and sporting a 2.5GHz Core i5 (late 2014)
processor and 24 GB of RAM.

Regards,
Vishwas

Fwd: Google Summer of Code 2019 is coming

[Vishwas Babu]

Hello Fineractors,

GSOC is now upon us!

All committers interested in mentoring students on projects either on
Fineract
or Fineract-CN are requested to respond to this thread before 2019-01-31
19:00 UTC.

You would also need to carry out the steps mentioned in the trailing mail
(including subscribing to ment...@community.apache.org) before the deadline.

Committers who have already expressed interest in mentoring for the Mifos
initiative are
also requested to do the same at Fineract. This ensures that Fineract
community can
accommodate additional students should it so happen that the Mifos
initiative is not selected as a
mentoring organization for GSOC 2019.

The list of issues tagged for GSOC of past years can be found on Jira at
https://bit.ly/2UvL917.
Please add the tag "gsoc2019" for any existing / new issue you would like
to mentor for this years GSOC

Regards,
Vishwas

Hello PMCs (incubator Mentors, please forward this email to your podlings),

Google Summer of Code [1] is a program sponsored by Google allowing
students to spend their summer
working on open source software. Students will receive stipends for
developing open source software
full-time for three months. Projects will provide mentoring and
project ideas, and in return have
the chance to get new code developed and - most importantly - to
identify and bring in new committers.

The ASF will apply as a participating organization meaning individual
projects don't have to apply separately.

If you want to participate with your project we ask you to do the
following things by no later than
2019-01-31 19:00 UTC (applications from organizations close a week later)

1. understand what it means to be a mentor [2].

2. record your project ideas.

Just create issues in JIRA, label them with gsoc2019, and they will
show up at [3]. Please be as
specific as possible when describing your idea. Include the
programming language, the tools and
skills required, but try not to scare potential students away. They
are supposed to learn what's
required before the program starts.

Use labels, e.g. for the programming language (java, c, c++, erlang,
python, brainfuck, ...) or
technology area (cloud, xml, web, foo, bar, ...).

Please use the COMDEV JIRA project for recording your ideas if your
project doesn't use JIRA (e.g.
httpd, ooo). Contact d...@community.apache.org if you need assistance.

[4] contains some additional information (will be updated for 2019 shortly).

3. subscribe to ment...@community.apache.org; restricted to potential
mentors, meant to be used as a
private list - general discussions on the public
d...@community.apache.org list as much as possible
please). Use a recognized address when subscribing (@apache.org or one
of your alias addresses on
record).

Note that the ASF isn't accepted as a participating organization yet,
nevertheless you *have to*
start recording your ideas now or we might not get accepted.

Over the years we were able to complete hundreds of projects
successfully. Some of our prior
students are active contributors now! Let's make this year a success again!

P.S.: this email is free to be shared publicly if you want to.

Re: My Introduction to the Mifos and Fineract Communities

Yes

Both Fineract 1.x and Fineract-CN can be deployed privately or in the
cloud. At the end of the day, both are RESTful platforms
and an organization like Mifos can choose to host either of them for their
partners.

The key difference is that Fineract-CN is cloud native (microservices
architecture providing the advantages of containerization vs the Fineract
1.x monolith, see https://pivotal.io/cloud-native)

>>3. So in case of fineract-cn *are we taking multi-tenancy into

Both Fineract 1.x and Fineract-CN are multi-tenant by design

Vishwas

Invitation to edit Apache Fineract's board report for Jan 2019

[Vishwas Babu]

Hello Fineractors,

Hope all of you are having a great beginning to the new year.

The initial draft of the board report for the previous quarter is shared at
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FINERACT/2019-1+January+Report ,
please edit as you see fit. I plan to do a once over on the coming Monday
and submit the report by Tuesday the 8th of Jan (PST).

Wishing you a wonderful weekend,
Vishwas

Re: [Mifos-developer] Hide Sensitive Contents

[Vishwas Babu]

Hi Abiy,

Regarding the issues you have raised

1)

>>Credentials leaked in localhost access log

This issue would exist when HTTP basic auth is used on Fineract (username
and password are passed as query parameters over a HTTPS channel) and
access log is enabled on tomcat (where the default pattern logs all
accessed URL's and their associated query parameters). Quick fixes to the
deployment environment ( in order of complexity ) to resolve this issue
would be

-> Disable localhost access log / update access log pattern to not print
URL's in tomcat
-> Extend access log to hide passwords  (Ex :
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16699113/how-to-configure-tomcat-accesslogvalve-to-hide-passwords
)

If we are particular on handling the same at an application level, the
easiest change would be to change the authentication API to pass the
username and password as part of the post body (which isn't logged by
tomcat access log)

2)

>>And the other is the one that is displaying in catalina
(fineract-provider-log)

I'll let others correct me, but this should not be the case. Logging from
the application (catalina and fineract-provider) would only log the
username (not the password)

3) Lastly, regarding the comment

"My Recommendation is also as follows,
In a system my company is using, the passwords in the xml files are
encrypted. And the system will decrypt them before reading."

Are you referring to the global credentials (database) configured in
tomcat's server.xml  which have the password in plain text ? If so, this
would be a seperate (unrelated)  security related enhancement.

Regards,
Vishwas

Re: LOAN TRANSACTION IMPORT

[Vishwas Babu]

Hi Zayyad ,

Changing the expected type of the repayment and loan Ids to long instead of
Int in LoanRepaymentImportHandler would resolve the issue you are facing

Re: Intergration test

[vishwas]

The approach of sleeping for a fixed time does not work well in general as 
Integration test cases must pass on any environment. Depending on random sleep 
values would mean that there is always a probability that the test can fail if 
the system is slow / has other CPU intensive processes running etc.

Ideally , you would handle such scenarios more gracefully . Have the test check 
if the file you are referring to is created , if not sleep for an interval and 
check again etc. 

Please make this change and send out a pull request

Vishwas

Re: Intergration test

[vishwas]

Hi Kumaranath,

You should be able to reproduce this issue if you fetch the latest fineract 
code in a seperate workspace.

If the remember correctly, the crux of the issue seemed be be that files you 
were referring to in the test cases , i.e 
fineract-provider/src/integrationtest/resources/bulkimport/importhandler/officer
 are not present and all these tests cases throw a file not found exception. 

Regards,
Vishwas

Re: Intergration test

Hi Mexina,

Many of the failures were related to recent changes made for FINERACT-590. I 
have fixed the same now.

However, I still see 15 failures (details below)

@Nazeer, Ed, Any devs active on the codebase recently : Do we know how long 
these test cases have been failing ? Do we having any CI setup for Fineract (we 
had Travis CI for the erstwhile Mifos codebase, the same seems to be down now) ?

Re: [Mifos-developer] Updates on Release Timing for Apache Fineract 1.1

[vishwas]

Thanks for the fix Steve ! The same has been merged.

@Santosh / Ed : https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FINERACT-574 
<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FINERACT-574> is probably an issue which 
has been existing for a while now ? Given that the large majority of fineract 
users do no use the share management module, I would suggest that we proceed 
with this release without waiting for the same to be fixed.

Vishwas

Re: Upping our truck factor

[vishwas]

Hello All,

>>> 1.) Are you doing something that only you are doing, and that you
>>> believe should be shared more widely?

No

>>> 2.) What are the reasons why you aren't doing one of the activities on
>>> our "bottleneck" list?

I am currently focusing on a few other things I really want to do and would not 
be able to take up time consuming activity like reviewing pull requests.

I would be happy to help with moderating lists though.

Regards,
Vishwas
