Re: [Framework-Team] Now what do we do?

2006-09-01 Thread Martin Aspeli

Our team wishes to highlight PLIP 154 as we think it is nearly
implemented by FileSystemStorage + AttachmentField (still SVN).


There is no bundle for this, correct? We are now past the bundle
deadline, I'm not quite sure what sort of process we have for deciding
whether we want to take on more at this point. I guess it would have
to be up to Wiggy, as release manager, and whomever would be willing
to co-ordinate such a bundle if one appears.

I think we'd also need to have a debate about whether we wanted
something Archetypes-specific or something a bit more general.
Pragmatically, AT is of course what matters today. It may not be
forever, in which case a solution would have to be seen as at least
not getting in the way of any future efforts to generalise. Not having
seen the FSS code, I can't comment on whether it has layers that are
generalisable outside AT or not.

 I'm happy to take a couple, at least. I suggest we have one person in charge
 of each bundle, who does some initial review, posts back to the list to tell
 people good points and bad points and explains where to look to understand
 what's going on, and then we can discuss, argue, fight and vote.

 Would you mind getting started on the list (I'm at work atm...)? I think
 starting with plone.org/roadmap and then matching to bundles in /review
 (note - the easycommenting bundle is in the collective, see the link on the
 PLIP).

Here is the list:

PLIP 8 - Versioning
PLIP 48 - Use session instead of cookie plugin to store PAS authentication
PLIP 112 - XML Import / Export
PLIp 118 - Porlets engine basd on PlonePortlets and Viewlets
PLIP 119 - Contextual help portlet
PLIP 121 - Asynchronous loading of content views
PLIP 122 - Edit-in-place mode for all basic field types
PLIP 125 - Ensuring link/reference integrity (removing 404 links)
PLIP 127 - Move properties to Edit screen using pre-loaded fieldsets
PLIP 142 - Componentise the global content menu
PLIP 144 - Generalized Next / Previous navigation
PLIP 145 - Locking
PLIP 148 - Move to CMF 2.1
PLIP 157 - Content rules engine
PLIP 171 - KSS / Azax to Plone
PLIP 172 - Wiki syntax support for all content
PLIP 173 - OpenID support
PLIP 174 - More configurable and reusable i18n features
PLIP 168 - integrate iterate for checkin/checkout/staging
PLIP 179 - Improved commenting infrastructure

There are three plips (120, 124 and 149) which have a CMFPlone but no
bundle so I'm ignoring those.

121, 121 (both Bling) and 171 should be probably reviewed by the same
person and will warrant a lot of discussions - that's the bling vs
azax/kss decision.

 PLIP 173 - OpenID support

This one is mine. The current status shows the design nicely but there
are a couple of essential bits (like session authentication) still
missing (they are listed in the docs in the bundle). I expect it to be
fully stable in abou two weeks.

A reviewer will need to be be reasonably familiar with PAS plugins to be
able to review this I'm afraid.

 (all of which I'm familiar with already to a certain extent) and then try to
 keep the KSS vs. Bling debate going in constructive direction.
 
 People happy with that?

Re: [Framework-Team] Now what do we do?

2006-08-29 Thread whit

Our process could be improved.

we reviewed a few bundles a week over the course of a few weeks.
Basically, I or Alan would announce what bundles we were looking at and 
when the next phone call would be by email.   Since the process for each 
bundles was not specifically owned by anyone, the coverage of attention 
was a bit scattered imho and alot of time was wasted in rambling 
conference calls. cie la vie.


Since you have more bundles and more people, dividing the bundles among 
general areas of expertise might be a good idea.  If everyone owns the 
review of 2 or 3 bundles you should be well covered and then you have a 
point of contact for the bundle authors.   Not unlike SoC.


Key to the process is to draft as many people from outside the voting 
FWT to look at bundles and get their input.   Good job wiggy with the 
announcement.   This could be a good time to rouse up some enthusiasm 
about actually cranking out P3.


I recommend using a file in the svn bundle root as a comment trail: it 
is automatically web published, everyone should check out every bundle, 
all plone devs have write access to it, and conflict are merged(rather 
than blotted out or lost as in  a plone doc or email thread).  We used 
an email for each bundle that the group appended to by replying(post vote).


The worst part was getting people to make opinions in a timely fashion; 
I would recommend getting all opinions before the vote if possible. 
Having collected as many comments as possible before the vote makes 
voting faster and reporting the outcome easier.  We voted on the 
phone(sort of a waste of time imho); you might choose to use svn or 
email.  

Afterwards, someone (Marten in this case) compiles the votes and the 
various suggestions for next step and opinions into a usable report for 
that set of bundles and posts the report to plone-dev.   In the case of 
a rejection, someone should compile an explanation for the author of the 
package including what would need to be do for inclusion and a timeline 
for getting those things done.


lather, rinse, repeat.

Once you have completed this process for all the bundles, write wiggy a 
final report filled with guiding wisdom, make an announcement that you 
are disbanding as the voting board of the FWT, have a beer, scotch or 
coffee and at your leisure choose your successors for the next release.

So, the bundle deadline passed, and I almost got some sleep. I'm

for example, but promised to look at workflow)


Members from last year - how did you go about actually undertakign the 
reviews?


We have bundles at http://svn.plone.org/svn/plone/review/ (and one at 
svn.plone.org/svn/collective/easycommenting/bundles/2.5/ 
http://svn.plone.org/svn/collective/easycommenting/bundles/2.5/ 
since Kai doesn't have commit privs yet).


This matches up pretty well to what we see in 
http://plone.org/roadmap, with a few exceptions. Most of these are 
excusable (AJAX dependencies that make no sense until we've sorted out 
that can of worms, trivial things that probably don't need much review 
- we'll have to take it on a case-by-case basis).


I know Wichert is away for 5 days, and Vincenzo is on holiday (until 
the middle/end of the week?). I'd be nice if we could come up with a 
process, though.
