How does everyone (PSC, comitters, contributors) feel about updating the
developers guide procedures to better reflect how we get things done in
2016:
Changing contributions to be expressed in terms of pull requests (not
patches):
- https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/pull/1554 updated pull request
review guidelines
- The information on community modules is spread out over several pages
making it hard to follow
- I would like to try gathering this into a single page to make it easier
to follow
+1
The balance of activity in our project has shifted from module maintainers
to the project steering committee:
- Andrea has provided an excellent summary of responsibilities on the wiki
<https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/wiki/Some-ideas-about-minimum-community-software-responsibility-and-participation> -
I would like to use this to update the developers guide
I'd also update the contributor.md, so that we can point people making
significant pull requests to it.
- I am hesitant to adjust the responsibilities as I believe they provide a
fair representation of the amount of work required to keep GeoServer
operational.
I don't understand what you mean here... are you hesitant to adjust the
current doc, to adjust the wiki page, or ... something else?
- Other than recruiting additional volunteers I am not quite sure how to
address this
I'd say that people directly benefiting from working in GeoServer
(companies, consultants) should be simply pushed to also perform chores that
keep the projection operational and thus have more to work on in the
future, otherwise the project risks dying. Thus the above guide.
Cheers
Andrea
