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.

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

Actually they're probably not 0.2.2+, they're 0.2.3+, I have no idea why

Re: [Elementary-dev-community] Google Summer of Code Ideas

2014-02-18 Thread Nikos Vasilakis
I believe you wanted to reply to all (which I do).

I agree. In general, I believe that our contribution guidelines are
broken. For coders in particular, heading to the developer section of
the website has a light introduction to vala, but says nothing on how
to actually contribute to elementary (i.e., what is current
target/milestone, how to pick goals to tackle, how to assign
blueprint/bug to you or notify developers that you started working on
something etc.).

So a question is, do we have such a text somewhere internally (which
we need only to polish and get online) or do we have to write it from
scratch?

Well, to answer my own question, I believe the page I was looking for
was get ./get-involved, which has many of the things I was talking
about. But it still lacks guidelines. How would you go about
contributing? Should you first engage in the blueprint discussion? Or
when the blueprint is settled you can assign it to you? Or do you need
to create a bug with the same name as the blueprint and start working
on that? (I believe it is the last one) How do you pick lower hanging
fruits?

If you spend some time on the project, you soon have answers to most
of these. But shouldn't we make these readily available to potential
contributors?

This thread is starting to look and sound like just a massive distraction. We 
already have quite a lot of very important things to do. I think one of the 
most important of which is get AppCenter to a shippable state.


New things are cool and fun and exciting, but if we really have the extra time 
and resources I think we should be focusing on making sure what we already have 
is the best it can be.




* There is still no search in Files

* We just picked up Photos which needs a lot of work to bring its UI into 
alignment with our other apps

* judging by the popularity of indicator synapse, we should probably

* We need to fix deprecation warnings involving granite and gtk

* Pantheon Online Accounts needs to be integrated into our default apps

* Indicators are holding us back from Pantheon running on other platforms and 
frankly their designs aren't the best they could be.

In AppleScript you could move windows around, show pages in Safari, add 
events to iCal, play songs in iTunes.
I implemented things like a tiling WM, a script to open links in 
whatever browser is currently running and more in AppleScript.


It also lets you do things like download something with Safari, resize

ImageMagic, curl and other cli tools.

I've looked up Automator in Wikipedia and I can't see how that's related to
Contractor. Contractor is designed to be operated by the user, its actions
are not designed to be automatable.

Actually, automating such actions is an unrelated problem, but IMHO shell
scripting suits that use case just fine already.

A proper IRC client.

I know Empathy does IRC, but it is unsuitable for real use.
Try opening a few dozen channels in its tabbed interface.
Try idling in a busy channel.

All the real IRC clients either *are* a terminal app,  or look like 
terminal app in a GTK window. Compare some screens from Textual to 
XChat.


A client with proper spacing, alignment, typesetting, focus...
In short; a design-driven IRC client.

I think this should be doable in 3 months.

Great application everyone,

I made a number of textual refinements to the GSOC text, hopefully
beneficial! Someone with edit capability could pull them in the text
(if the GSOC-related people agree).

I haven't gone through the ideas yet. I will try to do it tonight and
work on a "snapshots/time-machine" section as well (and RFC!).

Good luck!

OK, I have an idea that's been collecting the metaphorical dust for many a
month.

In a nutshell, the current "Open or Save?" dialogs in web browsers that
they show when encountering a non-web file are terrible; how can I choose
if I want to keep the file before I even see it? And why the hell can't I
keep the file without re-downloading it?

The proper UX would be to open all files that are not web pages in a
dedicated viewer, and the dedicated viewer should then allow to save the
file for later after you see the contents and possibly edit it.
This should apply even if the browser sort of supports this file type, e.g.
for images - web browsers make for terrible image viewers!

AFAIR the basic idea got the green light from Dan, I believe he will reply
to this thread if he has anything to add :)
I think had a slightly more complete writeup here:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kfI-JB80egEmix0HIJkDkDtMHGF_xeQMqQANqIxxnlo/edit

This sounds like a trivial feature, but it would make worlds of difference
and it is not trivial to implement because you need a
FreeDesktop.org-vetted protocol for signalling "show the save button" from
browser to apps, you need support for this workflow in both web browser and
apps, you need to handle legacy apps and be able to tell which are which,
you need the "keep this file" action to be extensible and system-defined so
that we could do things like keeping all viewed files for a week without
altering the apps, and a metric ton of other details.

The first one that comes to mind is presentation software (like Ease, 
but obviously more mature).


Another idea that has been floating around in my mind is an elementary 
HIG'd audio session manager (check out Gladish, Claudia, Non Session 
Manager for an example of what this is) that would stress the ideas of 
automatically saved state and easy undo.

Hi everyone,

It turns out that one of the reasons we weren't accepted for GSOC 
last year was the lack of quality ideas. It seems then that projects 
for GSOC should be 3 months of work. Maybe for one of us (the regular 
developers) they'd be 1 month of work, but they should be 3 months of 
work for a newcomer to elementary.


Having said that, I need you guys to tell me all of your ideas! Which 
ideas? Anything that's doable in 3 months (and especially NEW APPS, 
not plugins, not new features on existing apps).


tl;dr;requesting all ideas for new apps missing in the elementary 
environment that GSOC students could write with our help as mentors.

It's been fixed for a while now, rejoice! "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade"
and a reboot should get you the fix. If not, "sudo apt-get install

Hi everyone,

i hope everyone is reading this thread carefully ;).

The situation is the following, we have from 18 march to 29 march time to send 
our application.

The schedule is here: http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/events/google/gsoc2013 
(scroll down)

I already created a Google Docs document regarding the question we need to 
answer in the application and shared it with "coun...@elementaryos.org" as i'm 
not sure if there is anyone against making that public visible (other 
organizations keep it hidden it seems, at least KDE does, but i don't want to 
decide that on my own if we publish that).

We need an administrator and a backup administrator, i think they just do the 
communication stuff with Google (AFAIK), i think cody or dan are suitable 
persons for that.

We also need mentors. Mentors are the people for tutoring the students, despite 
i'm not an official member yet of the elementary team, i'll just volunteer as i 
have the spare time do the job, so we have already one. The more the better!

Ok, before the people in #elementary are going to hurt me i'll end this message 
and hope for some replys :) (I already see fabian lurking around the docs page).

Re: [Elementary-dev-community] Google Summer Of Code

2013-02-23 Thread Sergey "Shnatsel" Davidoff
Regarding GSoC, Wikipedia and Google are your friends:
https://developers.google.com/open-source/soc/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code

There's plenty of blogposts from project maintainers about GSoC
results for the projects too. And you can always drop into an IRC of
some projects that have participated and just ask for advice.
Surprisingly, it usually works.

Regarding terminal icon bug
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/elementaryos/+bug/1017171), TL;DR: I've
worked it around a while ago, "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" and a reboot
should fix it. If not, "sudo apt-get install
user-specific-alternatives" and a reboot.

The bug is actually rooted in BAMF (https://launchpad.net/bamf) which
doesn't work well with things launched via Debian alternatives system
(http://wiki.debian.org/DebianAlternatives), probably because it's not
aware of its way of invoking binaries via chained symlinks.

The development story above is in fact accurate, except what was
proposed is an ugly workaround, not a fix. I especially like the "And
then shnatsel told that person that because of something-something it
really wasn't possible." - that's the most concise way to explain it
I've seen so far!

I've eventually worked around the bug by writing a wrapper for
handling invocation of apps via alternatives system more "properly" in
several respects.
First, the application is invoked directly by its name looked up in
$PATH, not by a symlink that confuses BAMF and doesn't take $PATH
hierarchy into account. This fixes the "wrong icon" bug too.
Second, it launches the user-preferred application instead of a
package-maintainer-defined one, so if your preferred web browser is
Firefox, running "x-www-browser" will launch Firefox, not Midori.

Curiously, the terminal icon bug does not seem to occur in Unity, I
believe BAMF uses some other workaround there. I didn't have time to
test other alternatives system names such as "x-www-browser" or
"gnome-text-editor" though. But the wrapper could be useful in Ubuntu
even if it's not affected by this bug.

I've posted to Ubuntu-devel-discuss list about it, refer to my post
for more info on the wrapper:
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-discuss/2013-January/014255.html
Getting it in Ubuntu will require more effort though and I don't have
any time to spare for such relatively minor things (blah exams blah
work blah os bugs blah blah).
