Re: Review Board accepted to Google Summer of Code 2011 - Looking for mentors/ideas

Extensions are going to be the big focus once we get 1.6 out the door. A lot
of work has gone into it by many, many students through both UCOSP and GSoC,
so that'll continue :)

Webhooks will end up being an exension. We had some work toward refactoring
it into an extension recently.

 Hi Christian,

  I'm surprised You share my point of view. I agree with You that
 making something new is much more interesting then ending someone's
 work. Things I can't wait are:
  * Kicked as Extensions with many, many, many hooks provided and well
 documented :D
  * Cool webhooks sending also some data (objects) to given URL :P
  * Planty of ReviewBoard-Django signals perfectly documented on
 docs.reviewboard.org :)

 That is probably all because this allow me to spice ReviewBoard by my
 own :) for my company :] and waiting for 2.0 since I get it drive me
 crazy :D

The extensions work will still be 2.0. We will either end up going from 1.6
to 2.0, or we'll package a bunch of GSoC/UCOSP work as 1.7 while working on
2.0.

 Hey everyone,

 We've been accepted again this year in Google's Summer of Code, a yearly
 event where students from around the world participate in open source
 projects, developing work experience and getting paid for it.

 We're expecting about 4 or 5 students this year, but we can grow that number
 with more mentors.

 I'd like to see if there are any past contributors to Review Board who know
 the codebase well enough and would like to mentor a student or two this
 year. It's a great way to benefit the project.

 A mentor's job is to assist the student in his development, answer questions
 (forwarding on to us when needed), and to help collect status and run the
 weekly meetings. They're also expected to grade the students half-way
 through the Summer and at the end.

 We're also looking for ideas for projects, so if you have an idea for

I just meant it as a slightly snarky comment towards Christian Hammond
and his experienced development practices :-p

I know that hiring a talented coder for the Summer of Code project is
a much more organized way of getting something like this done. I'm
just a bit sad that I'll have to wait till August to get some feedback
about how this is going. Hopefully the student hired would like to
maintain a blog about his progress, would be a great way to get some
help...

@Alenxander, I mean no misunderstanding, I have no ill intent, just
eagerness to use this program.

Re: Review Board accepted to Google Summer of Code 2011 - Looking for mentors/ideas

2011-03-22 Thread Christian Hammond
Hi Sam,

I understand that this is something you want ASAP, having just gone through
an install. However, it's important to know that for the moment at least,
Review Board is in no way our full-time job. It's something we work on in
the evenings and weekends when time permits, and really there's only two of
us doing the development. There are several hundred companies, all asking
for different things. Bug fixes. Students to mentor year-round. Features
that are important. Architectural changes that are important. Compatibility
fixes for different platforms. Workarounds for problems in third party
dependencies.

And that's after we put in more than a full day's work at our day job, at
which we have many responsibilities.

Installation has come a long way, actually. We've done a lot to improve the
process, and I'm pleased to say that we're easier to install in many ways
than most other Python-based webapps. There's still a long ways to go, and
we're making strides in that, but we're not there yet. On Windows, we have
the prototype Windows installer that we hope to ship in the next release. In
Linux, it's a two-step process to get a site going, for most installs (there
will always be variations in webserver configs that we can't fully address
of course).

It's a harder problem than it sounds. At $DAYJOB, we develop commercial
software on top of Linux, and you wouldn't believe how big a problem that
is, since every distro does something slightly different and you can't
always fully depend on one method or another for installing your software
and dependencies. Before working there, I spent years development package
management tools. So I'm pretty familiar with the problems associated with
it all. That's why no matter what we do, I'm sure we won't satisfy everyone,
and we won't be able to make it smooth on every distro.

But I do have plans, and when I can get to them, I don't know, but it's not
a problem we're ignoring. It's a problem we've improved upon with every
release.

 I know that hiring a talented coder for the Summer of Code project is
 a much more organized way of getting something like this done. I'm
 just a bit sad that I'll have to wait till August to get some feedback
 about how this is going. Hopefully the student hired would like to
 maintain a blog about his progress, would be a great way to get some
 help...

 @Alenxander, I mean no misunderstanding, I have no ill intent, just
 eagerness to use this program.

 @Alenxander, I mean no misunderstanding, I have no ill intent, just
 eagerness to use this program.

So can I still apply with my idea - improvements of post-review tools?
Or am supposed to use only ideas from the list? Should I present a
patch that would fix one of RB issues or should I post some of my code
from other projects?

Thank you.

Hi Alexander,

You can apply with any idea that you like. We can certainly go over things,
and fine-tune the idea during the selection process with you. It doesn't
have to be an idea from this list. We just can't select any projects until
the selection process begins, and will have to sort through many
applications.

You're more than welcome to post any patches to RB up for review at any
time.

Christian

Re: Review Board accepted to Google Summer of Code 2011 - Looking for mentors/ideas

2011-03-21 Thread Robert Munteanu
Hi,

As far as I know a past GSOC session was the one that gave the initial 
version of the ReviewBoard connector for Eclipse ( ereviewboard ). I have 
picked up that integration and improved it in terms of 

- stability
- support for the 2.0 REST API
- feature additions https://github.com/rombert/ereviewboard/wiki

I do have good experience in writing Eclipse task connectors using the Mylyn 
API , as I am the current main contributor to the MantisBT connector for 
Eclipsehttp://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/mylyn-mantis/index.php?title=Main_Page.
 
As it always happens, time is at a premium, but I would be more than happy 
to mentor one student in improving the connector. I have plenty of 
improvement ideas, and I'm sure others do as well.

So if there's interest from you and the other developers and if it is 
allowed by the GSOC rules I would like to put up an offer to mentor a 
student in adding improvements to the Eclipse integration.

Thanks,

Robert

I think setting up some kind of all encompassing setup for this
software would great to drive up its user base, which I believe is
essential for its continuous improvement, now that it's reached a
pretty stable and useful state.

Re: Review Board accepted to Google Summer of Code 2011 - Looking for mentors/ideas

2011-03-21 Thread Christian Hammond
Agreed.

We have a prototype Windows installer, which gets you part of the way there
on a standard Windows setup. What's needed at that point is, I think, a
graphical front-end to rb-site, like we have on Linux.

For Linux (and this carries to Windows as well), I'd like to eventually see
the installation process being just easy_install (or Windows installer) +
rb-site, and then all the optional dependencies handled within Review Board
itself. If the user wanted to use rb-site with MySQL, it would fetch the
MySQL bindings. If the user turned on captcha support in Review Board or
added a SVN-backed repository, it'd fetch the proper dependencies and
install them in the site' directories.

This would be an awesome project, and one I keep considering toying with
myself.

So it differs a bit from the original build an installer for each platform
goal, but I think in the end is more maintainable and useful.

Does it mean that you reject ReviewBoard CLI project? If you need
more details I can provide it here. I spoke with other RB users and at
least one of them said it would be a good idea. Mostly, because
console interface makes it possible to add non-web GUI on the top of
it. And a GUI in turn having a well-designed modular architecture can
be merged in other IDEs.

The installation work is an entirely separate body of work from the
post-review proposal. It's not one or the other.

However, we tend to get 15+ applications each year, and can only accept
generally 3 or 4, so I can't promise anyone at this point that they'll be
accepted. We won't be able to make the judgment until the application review
process.
