Weekly update, 2017-09-03 ========================= Code developments -----------------
- Page styling is now implemented with Sass. See https://git.snowdrift.coop/sd/snowdrift/blob/master/BUILD.md#adding-and-updating-sass-files for some usage notes. - CI is up and running: https://git.snowdrift.coop/sd/snowdrift/pipelines . - Most of the original prototype (https://snowdrift.sylphs.net/prototypes/alpha/) is now actually implemented in master. - build.sh got tweaked, and builds work on macOS, NixOS, and Arch now (as well as Debian-based systems, which are a breeze). Meta developments ----------------- - Some triaging has happened for issues; sort by 'label priority' as seen here: https://git.snowdrift.coop/sd/snowdrift/issues?sort=label_priority&state=opened - Or look, I started toying with Gitlab's issue boards: https://git.snowdrift.coop/sd/snowdrift/boards - Instructions for manually testing Stripe integration have been added to BUILD.sh. Current and upcoming work ------------------------- - In my opinion, the following work is needed to reach "alpha": 1. Next items on the board: https://git.snowdrift.coop/sd/snowdrift/boards 2. Throw a lot of tests at the mechanism - However, I think we need to talk about what "alpha" means. I.e., what are our goals, really? I think it's been long enough that we should touch base on this topic again. - That's not just for devs, so I'll ask that over at the discuss mailing list. (Join if you want to follow along: https://lists.snowdrift.coop/mailman/listinfo/discuss) - We still need improvements to miminize needless rebuilds. - stack v1.5 might help. - Logging and monitoring is the most important (and nonexistent) piece of our architecture. I'm going to look at influxdb and grafana; other suggestions welcome. -Bryan
