Dear Docutils friends, dear Tony,
thank you for speaking up. The impression of Docutils as a "ghost town" is
not completely out of the way. Most core developers have far less time to
spend on docutils nowadays than in the past and have a preference of keeping
it functional (works for me). The interesting development goes on at Sphinx
or other places. This may be a good thing (Docutils as the "rock solid" base
for other stuff) but may also be a sign of decay.

I see 3 distinct issues:
a) website
b) VC system
c) provider
to a) website
I agree that the website can be improved. My plan is to use Sphinx for
the Docutils documentation:
* the website should also be a showcase for Docutils and rSt but
Docutils is intended for stand-alone documents without proper support
for complete projects/sites.
* Sphinx is the most popular Docutils extension providing an advanced
documentation framework for more complex projects. As Sphinx builds on
Docutils, a Sphinx-built site is still a showcase for our project.
to b) VC system

I also prefer git over SVN. I would agree if someone would undertake the
move to a git-based repository, however it is not as high on my priority
list that I personally would like to put many time and effort in it. Many
of the advantages are also available via git-svn.
c) the provider

...
The conception of "everyone" varies widely. For me, github would mean one
more site to learn (to SF, BerliOS, repo.or.cz, ...)
But most important: SF is the home of Docutils for "ages".
Cool URIs don't change

Docutils is a system with great emphasis on stability and overal
consistency. With all core developers short on spare time, we need a
developer-friendly system that makes dealing with proposals, patches and bug
reports easy for the developers to avoid building up a heap of unprocessed
issues.
For me, a better organized and navigable web site has priority over other
changes to the "PR".
Thanks,
Günter

I wouldn't be surprised. GitHub seems to be where all the cool kids hang out these days, and there are lots of them. This doesn't change the fact that someone has to champion the change, plan the transition, and implement it. I'm not going to do it. Who is?

Hello up there. Just FYI: you already have Docutils Git mirror with all
the history, branches, tags and full sandbox here:
http://repo.or.cz/w/docutils.git
It's maybe not perfect, because SVN account names were not translated to
emails, but otherwise it works.
Kirill
P.S. and making local changes to it and then publishing patches was,
indeed, a lot more convenient with Git.
Just my 2коп.

There is a social aspect of it, it might sound stupid, but I've seen project multiply the number of contributions just by moving the project to GitHub (git is great for the SCM part, but GitHub makes a huge difference in terms of the social part).

There is definitely an advantage to a distributed VCS. Being able to commit, branch, roll back — experiment incrementally — on your local system, and only produce a patch or "pull request" once your changes are fully realized and polished, is a great tool. A distributed VCS allows developers to commit as often as they like without affecting other developers — it's "commit often" on steroids. I haven't used Git much in earnest, but I've had good results from Mercurial and Bazaar. I'm open to such a change, but I have no desire (let alone time) to implement the change myself. So my vote is +0. Maybe it's short-sighted but for me, the pain of making the switch to another VCS outweighs the benefit we'd see, at least in the short term. But I'm used to SVN and not doing much active development on Docutils these days. I don't see SVN as much of a pain point. The group of active developers and project "admins" has to make any such decision, but it requires a champion (or a group) who care enough to push through the group's inertia, convince the others, and implement the change. An absolute requirement, for me, is that such a change be complete. We can't lose any data or have to refer to the old system as an "archive". So all the SVN history, all branches, and the full sandbox need to be converted at the same time.

hello, subversion does the job, so why change it . considering the premize "release often" translated for developers "commit often" , distributed vcs are an excuse. (considering that people check their facebook every 5 minutes, what is the problem with a centralized vcs) daily vcs usage with svn is svn update, svn diff, svn commit, git doubls this so where is the advancement ? cheers e On 21 January 2014 23:41, Tony N <railsdontscale@...> wrote: > Greetings all, > > I wanted to get a status report on where things stand with VCS and a home > for docutils. > > To begin, I have a few issues with source forge: > > I don't find the interface friendly.

Greetings all, I wanted to get a status report on where things stand with VCS and a home for docutils. To begin, I have a few issues with source forge: I don't find the interface friendly. It's inconsistent. I am not up to date with it, because everyone else is using something else. The good things with source forge: 1. The good news is sourceforge may allow docutils to bind with advertisements, with DevShare, we can hook into setup.py and monetize docutils development. For more information, you can see http://sourceforge.net/blog/advertising-bundling-community-and-criticism/. 2. Also source forge benefits from being funded by Dice Holdings, Inc. You can read more about them at http://www.diceholdingsinc.com/. According to their front page, I see they announced as $50 million Stock Repurchase program. So while I'm ignorant of finance, we can get someone from numpy to confirm if fiscals are sound for 2014. SF could be around for a long time. 3. SVN is simple. Older versions have a folder in every sub-directory to maintain metadata. It has no upsides but it's cool when you get them tangled up. 4. The current work flow works. But, I don't think it's true. I think there are people who don't want to criticize, or people who just see docutils website and (sorry here) think it's a dead ghost town. That's my first impression when I see it. To people who used SF for a decade, this may not make sense, but this place honestly sucks. To other people who are newer to python, they may not be talking, but it scares them off or confuses them. I have issues with subversion. Its positive is simplicity. On the other hand, it lacks many of the conveniences git has. It's actually nice to have a decentralized system. The workflow for branches is nice. It's fast. In 2014, I think it's safe to say many developers know how to use it. Many python projects make their home on github. Flask, Werkzeug, Tornado, Requests. Cython. Pandas. Numpy. IPython. I have a preference for github and git. I like their interface for browsing source, pull requests, issues. I think github's pull requests and issue system is very contributor friendly. Even SQLAlchemy moved from bitbucket to github. Here is their rationale: http://www.sqlalchemy.org/blog/2013/05/25/sqlalchemy-migrated-to-git/ For the sake of articulating it, who makes the choice if docutils were to move to a new place? What is the current feeling around here? |
