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

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.

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

Re: Review Board accepted to Google Summer of Code 2011 - Looking for mentors/ideas
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
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. -- Want to help the Review Board project? Donate today at http://www.reviewboard.org/donate/ Happy user?

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

A bit early, yeah. I have in my head what I'd like to do for it, and I want to make sure whatever student we work with is on the same page. Too many efforts around installation will just complicate things.
