It's been five days now and activity seems to be in full swing! With 30 completed and a dozen pending review, we've already made progress much faster than I'd expected... A few of the students are very impressive and finishing easy tasks about as hard as I could post them. (One was already granted commit rights on Wednesday!) At the rate we're going we'll run out of tasks in a few weeks! Feel free to define more tasks and send me the text or add them directly to Melange [0] yourself (instead of the wiki) and I'll publish them out. I have several dozen to add over the weekend that were brainstormed amongst five devs and a user, but we need something like 200 more. As far as how reviews are going, there's a ton of activity as anyone on brlcad-tracker or the IRC channel can attest (now that Erik has it chirping all the changes!). I think we're either falling slightly behind, and not for lack of mentor effort but the tasks are just coming in that quickly. Right now, these are the ones needing review that should get closed tonight: Convert 38 src/fb man pages to valid Docbook NURBS BibTeX reference file Write BRL-CAD News article on .deb/.rpm builds Design a "Commercial CAD Comparison" diagram Set up StatSVN Implement a primitive volume function ... for hyperboloids of one sheet (HYP) Add a primitive surface area function ... for polyhedron with 4 to 8 sides (ARB8) Create numerics library (LIBBN) API unit test ... for list.c Model an "R" using BRL-CAD Cheers!

Hi Sean, I tried to attach this document to help out with the mathematics on: http://www.google-melange.com/gci/task/view/google/gci2012/8028203 but it would seem I cannot attach documents to the project page. Do you have the ability to upload files to the project page? Cheers!

I do not. None of us do as far as I know. We can't even edit the task to add URLs once it's claimed (just in case there's a dispute about the task. I've been talking with Stephanie and a couple of the Melange devs about being able to at least unpublish and edit tasks, but that's still a work in progress. We can certainly host files up on the server though. I uploaded it to the wiki here so it can be easily updated: http://brlcad.org/wiki/Image:Affine_transformations.pdf That is a really awesome write-up! That'd even be great to have as a general (i.e., non-GCI branded) docbook article... Cheers!

OK, that makes sense, even if it is a bit of a hassle... I'm glad you like the write-up, I'll send you the PDFTeX source file a little later so that it can be added to the docs if you like. I just need to strip a bunch of stuff out of it first--I've used a work template with a bunch of non-public stuff just commented out...

I'll probably turn that into a GCI task .. ;) It's a decent template.

Agreed, but it was omitted by design since it would have taken considerable work to get one search box that worked seamlessly across our Drupal AND Mediawiki portions of the website. Google does a much better job than anything we could have put in place. That said, I agree it's something we need. Before someone can work on that, though, we need to get the web infrastructure all migrated to our newer hardware and get them upgraded to the latest versions. Fortunately, there seems to be no shortage of students with experience in that area! I have about a dozen web interface tasks to be added once the migration tasks are complete (they just can't start until after we're migrated). Cheers! Sean |
