| [mylar-dev] preparing for the Mylar Google Summer of Code |
We are now in the "interim period" where Google suggests that summer of code students learn more about their user communities before the official May 28th coding start. Here is how to start getting involved with the Mylar community: * We use Bugzilla for most of our collaboration, so get a Bugzilla account from: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs * Subscribe to the mylar-dev mailing list: https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/mylar-dev * Add a Watch for yourself to the Meetings page and Mylar wiki pages that interest you: http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Mylar * Get a workspace set up for Mylar development: http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Mylar_Contributor_Reference * Create a bug called "manage <title> GSOC project" and assign it to yourself. Email me when you've done that so that I can add a query for your Bugzilla email address. * In your Task List set up a query for all bugs assigned to you and all that you're CC'd on: http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Mylar_User_Guide#Query_setup After that, start looking through the list of our open bugs for key bugs of interest to your project and add yourself to the CC. Here's a start: Balazs: * I've tagged a bunch of bugs "[new eux]" which stands for New User Experience, so that's a start. Jevgeni: * 178883: Provide ability to export/import individual task content via File->Export/Import menu https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=178883 * 157546: allow task, repository, and context to dragged in and out of the workbench https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=157546 * 111218: [discussion] sharing and awareness of task context https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=111218 Xiaoyang * 184904: provide wiki editing facilities in task editor https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=184904 Looking over the existing Mylar bugs will help you position your projects and deliverables to meet the user communities' needs. During last year's summer of code we saw with Steffen Pingel and Jeff Pound's work what a significant impact a focused summer of code project can have on improving Mylar. I look forward to working with you this summer, Mik -- Mik Kersten President & CTO, http://tasktop.com Project Lead, http://eclipse.org/mylar
