Where is BIRT development discussed ??? Re: [birt-dev] Request for patch review for Bugzilla 176874
|
I just looked through the archives for birt-dev from the start of this
year. There have been a lot of checkins to the code, but I couldn't see
one single discussion or issue raised amongst the committers. This seems
really strange for an open source project. The comments below indicate
changes are reviewed, but I haven't seen any review comments or feedback
by any committer or anyone else against any piece of code.
It seems then that the development must be being discussed elsewhere.
From a discussion in Jan it seems unlikely the user forums are where it
is happening since comments there indicate most of the committers are
not active in the user forum. Also the user forum would be a strange
place for development discussion.
Can anyone provide a link or subscription information to where birt
development discussions actually happen. Also adding that information to
the community page would be very useful.
Thanks,
Dan.

Dan,
The Eclipse Foundation sets the bar fairly high in terms of adding
code to
the product. The code has to be Eclipse worthy on the basics, the code
runs, we have appropriate tests, maintains API's, etc. There are also
additional rules in terms of the code has to be submitted through
appropriate channels, it has to meet the intellectual property
requirements,
etc.
That sounds great, I agree reviewing code is great. It was just the use
of "we" in "we are reviewing" implied to me that there was some group of
people somewhere having a discussion about it. Since this is open
source I'd assumed that the discussion was happening on some open mail
list and since it wasn't happening on birt-dev (which seemed the logical
place) I wondered where it was happening.
We really appreciate your contribution, we just need to do a bit more
work
before we can throw it into our platform.
Thanks for the contribution,
Actually it wasn't my contribution, it was from Deepa Remesh, I was just
confused by the reply.
Thanks,
Dan.
