[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] XWiki Days every month?
Hi devs, We've had several special days in the past: * Deprecation day ** 26 April 2012: http://markmail.org/thread/c5oytyvgw6fcimqq * Bug fixing days: ** 11 june 2008: http://xwiki.markmail.org/thread/oyfxis3umqrvutxm ** 18 June 2008: http://xwiki.markmail.org/thread/brfx6gme37vgr3m5 ** 25 Jun 2008: http://markmail.org/message/nrobo3x4ppgssklk ** July 2008: http://xwiki.markmail.org/thread/mn5veblndbtgcsm5 ** 10 Feb 2011: http://xwiki.markmail.org/thread/rierrb2wk72dkpqy and result http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Blog/BugFixingDayFebruary2011 * DocHour days: ** 5 March 2008: http://xwiki.markmail.org/thread/dyypju5dn23wkwr2 I think it's a good concept and I'd like to propose that we regularly (once every month?) have an XWiki Day. Ideas for such days: * Bug fixing day: Reduce bug count * Doc day: improve xwiki.org * Deprecation day: reduce # of deprecated calls. Around 1700: http://nemo.sonarsource.org/drilldown/violations/XWIKI?&rule=squid%3ACallToD... * Violation day: reduce # of violations. 10274 right now: http://nemo.sonarsource.org/drilldown/violations/XWIKI * Javadoc Day: Add missing javadocs in our code and remove checkstyle excludes * Code Coverage Day: Add as many tests as possible (unit and functional) * Broken Links Day: fix as many broken links as possible on xwiki.org. To find them is easy: we just need to enable the IRC Link Checker botlet and wait on IRC to get them! I propose that whenever a day is over, we send a mail with the Date and Topic for the next day and it has to be about 1 month from the date of the mail. To get this started I volunteer to be responsible for sending Day emails for now, unless someone else is interested to do this. WDYT? Thanks -Vincent

Wow, wow, I'll make sure i'm not here when that will happen... :)
* Javadoc Day: Add missing javadocs in our code and remove checkstyle excludes * Code Coverage Day: Add as many tests as possible (unit and functional) * Broken Links Day: fix as many broken links as possible on xwiki.org. To find them is easy: we just need to enable the IRC Link Checker botlet and wait on IRC to get them!
These "violation"(!), "deprecation" "broken links" days could have a positive name: we're not doing a day to break links, we're doing a day to fix the broken links so it should be called something like "unbroken links day" or "links day" or something about what they fix. Otherwise, yes, I think it's a good idea, although I'm not gonna +1 that since there are little chances I can actually participate to it. Thanks, Anca

To please Anca I propose: * All Rosy Day * Bisounous Day (special for French people) :) <story of the day> BTW Anca did you know that in English when you have regression in your code and you test to verify that you don't have them anymore, it's called Regression Testing in English. And in French it's called "Tests de Non-regression". So not our fault if English language has negativity built in to it ;) </story of the day> More seriously we can just add the "Fixing" suffix and we're good: * Violation Fixing Day * Deprecation Fixing Day Thanks -Vincent

Though I think I do not have a clean proposal, and failed to take part to the last community day, I tend to agree with Anca that positive names are better. The deprecation day turned out to do many other things than just deprecations. It could be called "modernization day" for example. For the frenchie in there, the violation fixing day could be called the day "propre en ordre", or just the "cleanup day". paul Le 27 avr. 2012 à 14:37, Vincent Massol a écrit :

+1, although I've had mixed results with this kind of events. I stopped proposing bugfixing days after I got almost no participation the last time.

Yes it works only if enough people participate. We could decide that we do a "Day" only if we have at least 4 participants for example. When we send the email to propose the next day, people who wants to participate reply and we send a reminder the day before for example. For the 1st Deprecation Fixing Day we got 5 participants which was good. I was expecting 1 or 2 more but 5 was a nice score. Thanks -Vincent

Maybe if we have an event every month on about the same dates people will not forget about it and participate more. When you have something out of the blue you can forget about it if it's announced too early or don't see if if you don't look in details the mails you received from the mailing list the day of the event.
