Hi! Contributors are always welcome! Are you already familiar with JFreeChart and it's code? If not here are some resources that might help: * Project Homepage: http://www.jfree.org/jfreechart/ eventually a bit outdated * Discussion Forum : http://www.jfree.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=3 Many user-questions are asked and hopefully answered at this place. * Sourceforge Project Page: http://sourceforge.net/projects/jfreechart/ Especially the bug- and feature-trackers are quite useful. Also have a look at the jfreechart-developers mailinglist archive. There was some activity about the road to go, back in October 2011 and later. * Wiki http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/jfreechart/index.php?title=Main_Page Not very complete yet but contains at least some information for the development process. If you have any questions or need further assistance, don't hesitate to ask. Though, the answer make eventually take some time ;-) regards, - martin On 21 Mai 2012, Java Progger wrote: > Hey guys! > > I'm interested in participating in your poject! > I'm studying computer science and my bachelor thesis is about open source development and how to impart the concept and advantages to students in a lecture. > > Greetings, > javaprogger ;) |

Hi, it would be nice if someone would actually /use/ my contribution <http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3204823&group_id=15494&atid=315494> from March 2011. Its "minimal invasive" & thoroughly tested, so shouldn't cause any Aggro. Sorry!

Hi David, It's an excellent piece of work, I'm sorry for not picking it up sooner. It has been committed on the 1.0.x branch in SVN just now, and will be included in the 1.0.15 release.

It seems we are back to the point we were more than half a year ago :( JFreeChart is missing an _active_ maintainer. David Gilbert seems to be busy again (I'm still awaiting email response from March 2012) and my time is very limited, too. So I guess we have to wait until either someone volunteers as an active maintainer or, one of the old maintainers finds time to work on the project again. Sorry, - martin |

Sorry, - martin Yes, all my good intentions have not translated to hours working on JFreeChart. Work, family, all the usual reasons. I'd like to tell you that things will improve, but I'm not sure they will. Sorry. At least a new release should be possible though, in July most likely. Best regards, David |

That might allow more bugs to be introduced, but likely more fixes as well. Nothing kills a project like having no-one to accept patches upstream....

I think most people suffer from the same time constraints that I do...but we can hope at least. As I said in a previous post, I can't promise to be more active on JFreeChart, but I will aim to get a new release done in July. So if you think there are existing patches in the queue that deserve to be included, please promote them here. Best regards, David |

It seems many active developers use github nowadays. Maybe we should try migrating to github and get more high-quality patches from more developers this way. What do others think? Would we eventually benefit from a Sourceforge/SVN migration to Github/git? But we would at least need someone who has some experience with git(hub). IIRC Martin Krauskopf offered his service.

Martin, could you still help > with this? Hi guys, I do not have a great experience with Git(Hub). I'm just using its basic features. So I would just follow the steps: - Importing from Subversion · github:help https://help.github.com/articles/importing-from-subversion (and pointed out https://github.com/nirvdrum/svn2git#readme) It's rather about a time spent. I misuse what David wrote and second his time constraints reasoning. I'm reluctant to invest my time these days ... sorry for being fainthearted. Is there somebody watching this ML who is keen to try the migration? If really there is no other volunteer I might try it ... well ... one day perhaps ... ;) Cheers, - m. |

I've opened an account on GitHub and I'm playing around with a couple of (private) repositories to learn a bit more about this tool. So far so good. I'm not sure that Git/GitHub solves the fundamental problem for JFreeChart (lack of time all around), but it is fun to learn and is going to solve at least one (private) problem I'm working on. :-) If it rubs off onto JFreeChart itself, that will be a nice result!

If you make people post proper git-email patches, it becomes trivial to apply patches using git. Please let us know if/when this becomes the true upstream branch..we are going to look at doing some new graph features soon so I have reason to poke at the code again...

Well, as time allows, you can accept whatever patches are available..but if you make it clear that git-format/git-email patches are preferred (and quickly applied), then often developers will do the right thing..especially ones that contribute often.

IMHO the biggest power of GitHub is not sending patches via email but using one-click-fork functionality, then working on the own fork and then just submitting a pull requests to the owner via the web interface. Whenever I've contributed to any GitHub project (just a few times) I've always did it this way. I guess it is trivial for the owner of the project to accept/apply such pull requests to the main repository. Likely just another click in the GitHub web interface. Also it is easy for the people who has forked to sync with the changes in the upstream repository (I was alway on the contributor side). This kind of collaboration gives power and flow to the projects hosted on the GitHub (and similar sites). Look e.g. at the number of forks at: - https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems Cheers, - m. |
