Hi Grisu,
Hi
Since some weeks, we work an a new, clean ddtp:
- Nicolas make a cleanup of the scripts for i18n and ddtp (during
debconf)
- kleptop start a rewrite of the web interface
- grisu add some new stuff for the web interface, make some bug
fixing and code on the new web interface
I believe it's a good time to become involved for those who do a lot of
DDTP work - it's about your tools. Which features do you really miss?
What would ease your work? Of course, I may have missed some
off-list communication ...
We write the mails to get all involved and to get feedback...
features:
- fuzzy translation
- better messages system
- more statistic
- selection per package lists (step by step)
- user management
- team coordinator
- commit without review process for simple changes
- upload/edit the word list
- ...
See http://wiki.debian.org/DDTP/Future ...
I propose:
- package DDT (this make the daily update of the DDTP-Database)
- package DDTSS (the web interface of DDTP)
- install both on ddtp.debian.org
- test this system and after this
- switch from .net to .org
With this we will lost the mail interface. (for some time...)
Do you want to package the production system or the development version?
I will package the development version.
I don't like to spend my time in the old stuff. Only code fixes,
prototypes for the new system etc.
The loss of the mail interface may be a problem for very small "teams" -
e. g. the vietnames translation effort actually seemed to be a one woman
show.
- She can change the review-process to zero reviewer
- She (as lang coordinator) can commit without review process, like
the old mail system
For the impatient (possibility to skip three paragraphs): One
doesn't really need the mail interface to *get* new descriptions.
The temporary loss of the mail *will prevent* people from bypassing
the DDTSS for maintainance tasks.
I will surely miss the possibility to upload changes which I consider to
be trivial and unproblematic (e.g. typofixes).
the new web interface will have this feature
Perhaps it is a good idea to compare the packages at some time in
the future with home-grown scripts such as ricalcola_desc.sh that users
wrote for their personal DDTP goals - or to include their functionality in
the DDTSS. Perhaps is an inappropriate wording - there are some really
nice features already implemented in the development version.
Have we still missing 'personal DDTP goals' and/or missing
functionality in the new web interface?
Thanks
Gruss
Grisu
