Hi devs,
We’re starting a new year and new development cycle (the 7.x one). It’s time to reflect
back on what we did and what we wish to achieve and also what we wish to do better.
I think it wouldn’t do any harm to the xwiki project that we continue automating stuff
(more build/release process automation, more development automation, more documentation
automation, more test writing automation, etc). Basically anything that makes us better at
delivering the XWiki software.
If you agree with this, I’d like to propose that we start filling a wiki page on
xwiki.org dedicated to what we achieved.
I’ve started such as page
at
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Drafts/AutomationAchievements (the idea will be to
move it somewhere in
dev.xwiki.org if this proposal is accepted).
At the moment I’ve put only a single item that I remember we did on the automation topic
but the idea is that each one of us (us = the xwiki community at large) updates this page
when he/she implements some new automation stuff.
The goal of this page is several:
* show appreciation to whoever helped improve XWiki’s automation
* realize that we’re doing work on automation and see how much we achieve in a year. And
thus be able to compare year to year and see how we fare.
* provides emulation to all of us to do even more in this domain
WDYT?
Thanks
