Re: Potential suspension of Channels development

2019-02-01 Thread Carlton Gibson
Hey Andrew. 

Thanks to Jamesie and Asif for volunteering to help. 

Some general point, I'll make publicly, because they're general purpose: 

   - Due to Andrew's great work, the repos are in a good condition. Very 
   few open issues. The main task is to keep it that way: triaging the new 
   tickets, closing those we can. 
   - Let's use the labelling system Andrew already has in place. (No issues 
   if we don't do that perfectly, but lets try.) 
   - I don't think we can keep offering support in the repo. We need to 
   guide people to support channels. (A little hint is OK if you've got one 
   immediately.)
   - I'll set up protected branch rules, so all changes via PR (with 
   approvals) so we make sure we're on the same page, and can continue 
   Andrew's high standards. 
   - Let's not ping Andrew until we've explored all other possibilities. 
   Burnout/overwhelm is rubbish and self-care is the #1 priority. 

Thanks for all your work here Andrew. Have a breather. We'll try and keep 
it going. ๐Ÿ™‚
(I'm sure there's other people here who can help us when we get stuck...) 

Kind Regards,

Carlton

Re: Potential suspension of Channels development

2019-01-31 Thread Andrew Godwin
OK, another update on the update (sorry, I am using the last of my energy
to arrange this handover, so I missed some things yesterday)

I'm going to hand over to a team of Carlton, Jamesie and Asif for now -
I'll get the docs on the repo sorted out tonight and make write up a few
more docs on how to run the release side of things.

I'll give Carlton admin access to the repo if he doesn't have it already,
and the two of you I'll grant commit access. Hopefully that should be
enough to give this a solid go. I'll leave notifications for @andrewgodwin
on, on github, for now, so if you really need me try that, but I may turn
that off if it turns out to be too much.

Thanks all who came forward. I'm hopeful that things can be kept going!

Andrew

Watch the repository on github, read the pull requests and ask
questions about submitted code where you feel that it could be
improved.

Look at the issues, try to reproduce them, submit a pull request with a fix.

Just to update on this - nobody has individually come forward to help
full-time, though I have seen Carlton help out on a few issues (thanks for
that).

I've added the PySlackers group into the support docs, as well - thanks for
that offer.

I'm still planning to remove myself from watching all the repos come Feb
1st, and barring positive confirmation someone else is going to actively
take over I'll put up notices on all the projects that they are actively
unmaintained apart from security issues.

Re: Potential suspension of Channels development

2019-01-23 Thread Christian Gonzรกlez

Hi,

I'm no experienced developer nor a Django contributor, but I "suffered" 
from this theme too. What I tried in the past is to create a Django 
"application", or more a framework (https://pypi.org/project/gdaps/), to 
support "plugins" which consist of a backend (the django part), and an 
included frontend (which shoud contain a "plugin" of a Js-framework like 
Vue.js or Angular, etc) that "blends" in into the web client dynamically.


I have experimented with using templates serving Vue code, or separating 
the part that is served to the browser from the Django backend in a 
different directory, bypassing Django templates, and did not succeed much.


This all is not directly related to the theme here, but where it is 
connected, is that, for writing a modern application nowadays, you IMHO 
have to be responsive in the frontend, and I think that async calls are 
not smart enough to solve that.


If you ever tried the "easiness" of Meteor, you always envy that when 
using Django with templates.


So: If I had a wish to Santa Claus :-), I would really support Django 
having "Channels" (or however it may be named) included more deeply into 
the system: I think that the Templates approach is not the worst, 
because it is very flexible. It just doesn't have a solution to the 
communication problem between server and client. Again, if I could wish 
something, It would be Integration of frontend frameworks into the 
template language and having calls to e.g. DRF included INTO the 
template language, like the "batteries included" approach of Meteor with 
their "connected" variables that update automatically when another 
client changes them.


This all is possible with Django DRF, channels and a modern Js 
framework, but VERY much boilerplate code and hand-written updates, 
no-way modern.


I know it's much I demand here - I just want to add my 2cents - Django 
is GREAT software.


It's just that the frontend side (templates, auto-communication and data 
bindings) did not gain that much love as the backend.


Maybe you'll say "Hey, Django IS only a backend". Yes and no. If so, you 
can remove the templates completely. It's not a backend, it just 
focussed on the backend more than on the frontend.


If there would be a way to integrate channels more deeply into Django, 
together with frontend 2-way data bindings, push notifications etc., I 
would really appreciate it and could imagine supporting that using money 
too.


Cheers,

Christian

The main problem with Channels, I feel, is that is solves the wrong problem
- it's focused on WebSockets, which is a niche feature that a few people
are happy we provide but most people have no practical use for.

Instead, I think Django should focus on a good async path for HTTP - views,
ORM, templates, and the like. This is what I want to get done if I can get
my time and energy back!

I do try to do this - I wrote a standard page last year to help out with
batting away (https://channels.readthedocs.io/en/latest/support.html) - but
sometimes it's hard to triage the bug from the support request. Your help
there would be most appreciated, and yes, I should add Michael's offer to
that support page.

I don't want to single anyone out, as it's not their fault, but bugs like
this: https://github.com/django/daphne/issues/244

This person did the work and figured it out for the most part, but lots of
bugs that complex and confusing come in with just the first part of the
issue and I'm left wondering if it's their browser, their server, their
Python install or actually Channels.

At some point, I wake up every morning to 5-6 emails from the various
projects and it overwhelms, as I'm sure you've encountered. Even the bugs
are nasty enough that I don't feel like fixing them once I've figured out
they're actually bugs.

Re: Potential suspension of Channels development

Hey Andrew. 

I've been thinking a lot about this. You clearly shouldn't be maintaining 
Channels single-handedly indefinitely.

I know Channels started out separately, but, it's time to think about what, 
if anything of channels, is to be brought into core, or become THE WAY we 
do things or... Yes, we need more hands, but there's a bunch of people who 
can help out, and at least part of the problem is your out there in the 
wings by yourself (with not much visibility.) 

Q: How does Channels fit into the "Django Async Roadmap"? 

To the extent that it does, I think there's a case for asking the board and 
the DSF more widely to throw everything we've got behind making sure it's 
properly resourced.

I presume you DON'T offer support on the issue tracker, and point people to 
other channels? I'd be happy to "straight-bat" obvious tickets away. 
(Michael's offer to recieve is valuable there.) 

"...and weird WebSocket client bugs."

Can I ask you to explain what you mean there? (Point to a ticket maybe.) 
What kind of query do you get? Is there a particular knack to working out 
if it's a valid bug or not? (Or is it apparent?)

Hi Andrew, 

We have a pretty active Django channel in our Slack group if you would like 
to direct all support requests there in the meantime. Many of us including 
myself are using Django Channels in production can help with basic support 
questions.

Take care of yourself and thanks for everything you've already done!
