13:00 pdurbin bencomp: so did you get a chance to look at http://guides.dataverse.org/en/latest/developers ?
13:01 bencomp pdurbin: not yet; it's on my list for today
13:01 pdurbin oh good
13:01 bencomp but first I'm trying to get VPN connected
13:27 bencomp joined #dataverse
13:40 bencomp pdurbin: the developer docs look much better! great work!
13:41 pdurbin bencomp: thanks! I'm hoping to tag 4.0 today
13:42 pdurbin we can improve them furture in 4.0.1
13:42 bencomp oh, I just re-read that I should reach out when my pull request is not assigned to anyone
13:42 pdurbin futher*
13:42 pdurbin I believe your pull request was assigned.
13:42 bencomp I believe noone is assigned :(
13:43 bencomp https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/pull/2127
13:43 pdurbin oh. my mistake
13:43 pdurbin bencomp: are you reaching out? :)
13:43 bencomp I am :)
13:44 pdurbin bencomp: the problem is that the pull request is against master
13:44 bencomp there was no branching strategy back then ;)
13:44 pdurbin man I feel like I'm making this too hard
13:45 pdurbin bencomp: please don't feel like you have to do something
13:45 bencomp talking about branching strategy: that is still a bit hard to read
13:45 pdurbin yeah? confusing? :(
13:48 bencomp I think I understand after reading again, but perhaps a definition or two couldn't hurt. Maybe for "QA", "persistent branch"
13:49 pdurbin bencomp: want to send a pull request? this one would be against master because we haven't really started the new branching strategy yet
13:49 bencomp a small diagram could make it all clear, a bit smaller than the one on http://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/
13:50 bencomp not sure I have time for that, unfortunately
13:51 pdurbin bencomp: how about something like this? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_versioning#/media/File:VersionNumbers.svg
13:52 pdurbin I do agree that a diagram would be helpful!
13:54 bencomp pdurbin: something about "what to expect from IQSS" that I would also like to see is the governance of the project. It's clear that IQSS is doing nearly all development/QA/releasing and that (some) IQSS devs are the people who have push access, but maybe less clear if you're brand new to the dev side :)
13:55 bencomp nice diagram, but it needs labels with the edges/arrows
13:55 pdurbin bencomp: I mention the IQSS dev team at http://guides.dataverse.org/en/latest/developers/dev-environment.html and http://guides.dataverse.org/en/latest/developers/coding-style.html . I hope that helps people understand who is doing most of the coding.
13:58 bencomp okay, those are not exactly the places I would look to find out about who is running the project :)
13:58 pdurbin well, isn't seeing IQSS at https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse enough? :)
14:01 bencomp maybe I'm making this too difficult ;)
14:03 pdurbin bencomp: oh no! have we not merged *anyting* from you yet? I don't see you at https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/graphs/contributors !
14:05 pdurbin anything*
14:06 bencomp I don't believe so, no
14:06 pdurbin but we did in 3.x
14:06 bencomp my PRs were too big
14:08 bencomp and some edits that I had made were applied separately to certain files only
14:11 pdurbin bencomp: the one you made that's in 4.0.1 is perfect. I'll try to get to it today but no promises. :)
14:11 bencomp pdurbin: I would like that :D
14:12 pdurbin bencomp: of course, you won't show up under contributors until the release branch is merged into master
14:12 pdurbin that's just a github thing
14:12 pdurbin bencomp: go make a docs pull request against master and I'll merge it in now (if it's any good) :)
14:13 bencomp promises is IMHO what should be in the Dev Guide too. Like promises about coding style, that IQSS will keep to it :)
14:14 pdurbin heh. you know we can't even agree :)
14:15 bencomp then why bother with it at all? :^)
14:23 pdurbin heh
