Things at SourceForge
From Information needed on new program supporting source code COPY statements

Quote:

Are you creating some forums and bug reporting on site to cover feedback from users?

Vincent.


and Quote:
We *could* add it to the svn repo, but as it is an own project (as long as it doesn't use/depend on OC-parts) it may would be better placed in an own project/repo?

SVN write access can be easily achieved (by being added to the opencobol-project, which can be done by me), finer access (only to /extras for example) cannot be done at SF yet, but I don't think it's a problem as every user must be added first, all changes can be simply reverted (it's a version control management system) and users can be warned/banned if they're writing to the wrong paths.

What do you think about adding code like this to the OC repo? How many new directories do we need and for what (what was the exact description to /extras?)?

And Vincent has a good point - we should either set up a new hosted app (like MantisBT) and add the community stuff there or add new categories to the main bug/feature tracker.

Ok, I'd like to run the forge as is almost. The forum is plain, but functional. I'm confused with the phpBB hosted app, and not sure who can post. Normal user permissions are not enabled, and the permission copy sequence seems borked when trying to setup SourceForge member default access.

There is a tracker in place as well, again, simple but functional.

On /extras, yeah that should not have come up, unless it's an actual /extras, like OC_CBL_DUMP, copyright to Roger then possibly FSF, ships with the compiler source tarball, etc.

/community or pick a better name, /contrib or hopefully not /apps.

On SVN. Hmm, needs some planning me thinks. I'm not sure how easy it is to separate sub-projects, versus how easy it is to open a new SourceForge project.

By the by, I'd like to shuffle on over to SourceForge sooner, get the patches published and let new registrations into the mix.

Cheers,
Brian

Re: Things at SourceForge
New svn structure:

https://open-cobol.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/open-cobol/trunk/open-cobol-ce
https://open-cobol.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/open-cobol/trunk/contrib

The user vbcoen was added to the SF project with SVN access.

New forum Contributions was set up for this stuff (simple one, not the phpBB) and a new tracker Contributions (simple one, no new hosted app), too (together with the category "prtcbl")

@Vincent: Please add a new directory prtcbl with a README (and more directories if you have more to contrib).
If possible submit the first version you have (Jim Currey's one I guess) and afterwards at least a commit for each version. Do you have patches to contribute to open-cobol-ce, too?

@Brian: please keep an eye on the contrib stuff (forum, tracker, svn) while I keep an eye on the open-cobol-ce and new registrations.

@all: What do you think of setting an svn-external in contrib/tpdebugg to the latest version of Federico's debugger?

Have fun!

Re: Things at SourceForge
human;

Monitoring. But I keep an eye on things with a winky, so...

all;

I'd almost like to dump the phpBB Hosted App for now. Me thinks SourceForge is not quite ready (or someone that knows how the permission system changes work, that SourceForge has to do as user account management is internal, can speak up).

I also noticed today that a bunch of Features don't show up on the admin list. Until we can find someone willing to put in the time to support extended features, I'd like to stick with the stock SourceForge set, until the developers at Geeknet feel a Hosted App is well enough integrated to make 'standard'.

I'm going to make a huge fat post (12 megs uncompressed in 1484 threads as of a few seconds ago) on the OpenCOBOL Discussion forum at the forge that is a straight up text capture of this forum, or make an archive file, or ... something. This knowledge base is not going away, where ever we go and how many steps it takes to get there.

And to be honest, not letting new people in to the main project forum is sucky and getting suckier. (Even with the fondness for this place).

ALL; How close is everyone to feeling comfortable pointing the DNS entry for opencobol.org to SourceForge?

Cheers,
Brian
