RE: [Dynapi-Help] Repost: Who should use CVS etc

1) It's the idea that only developers (and admins) are using CVS for
updating and stuff, that's why there's a developers section.  Ofcourse this
means that everybody wants to join the developers list which is something I
think we (the developers and admins) should get some pointers for.. because
adding everybody to the developers list is a large task, and maybe we should
then just open CVS up completely.
 
2) Good point, the best thing would be to get a list of important fixes and
modifications.. I think Dan's the initial guy to specify those things, and
maybe we should start a thread for other people to add ideas (not discuss
them, just add your ideas for now) .. We can then start and discuss the
ideas and get a list of bugs and ideas for a next release (after Robert
uploads this one).
 
3) I think the mailing list is proving an excellent location for bug fixes
and bug reports.. it's a bit hectic with so many mails, but I for one rather
see them in this list then on a forum (or worse in my personal mail.. hint,
hint :-)
 
4) Maybe we can setup an ftp site at sourceforge (Robert?)  but I personally
don't mind the attachments, there usually not big (only a few kb, that's
like having a gif-logo in your email signature).
 
I think nobody uses those other lists  :)

Onderwerp: [Dynapi-Help] Repost: Who should use CVS etc



Hi, i posted these questions last week, but with very limited response, it
seems everyone is
in the mood for answering newby questions today, so maybe you'll give mine a
try?
 
A few questions:
 
Is it the idea that everybody following this project makes their changes
through CVS,
    or only the admins/developers.
 
How do we know who has done what, or what they are working on at the moment?
    Is it not possible to put different compact tasks up for  the takers,
who take the job,
    and keep the list up to date on their work? I find it a bit of a waste
to hear Dan is spending
    one or two days putting semi-colons at the end of all the lines.
   
Is it best just to submit bugreports here (mailinglist) ?
Do the developers mind other people debugging their code, or prefer a
bugreport?
 
Isn't it usually considered bad netiquette to send attachments with your
mail, (or
is this less important now most people have fast connections/machines)
especially
as you can't get the attachments on the web interface. Isn't there anywhere
(ftp or so) where
anyone (not only admins) can upload a file.
 
And what's wrong with the mailing lists, only help and dev seem to work.
 
Back to work now...
cheers, Richard:o)
