FoswikiCamp2015Discussion

FoswikiCamp is a new initiative to organize regular Foswiki meetups of about 3 days free-style foswiki-ing. All you need is you yourself, probably a laptop and some time to socialize.

Sprints

This is a list of rough ideas for sprints during FoswikiCamp2015. These don't have to be completed on a sprint and most probably will have to be followed up afterwards depending on the complexity of the started idea. Nor should all take place at a single one sprint. Instead, these are topics people have in the back of their mind when they come to a FoswikiCamp and that they might want to team up on. Some of these sprints might be "coding" sprints, some are more non-coding like improving docu, do some interface stuff, write up blog postings or whatever you want to sit down and discuss.

None of these topics have the status of an "official" program or something

Some of these ideas might need a real dedicated FoswikiSprint where enough people gather under this specific topic. This however should best be organized separately and made clear that this is a, say, DocuSprint or something.

Discussion

Some questions/remarks:

• To JulianLevens, your idea is a improvement of PrefsCachePlugin, rewrittement of this one, integration of this one, an other things ?
• To MichaelDaum : your sane plugin make me think to the paperwork project : https://github.com/jflesch/paperwork
• i'm not a developer, so I only bring ideas, supporting, and other documentation task (requirements management too)

Hello I hesitate to register to the camp, since I am not sure about the targeted audience. So far it seems that most of you are foswiki core team or close, not "regular admin / user" as I am. My goals would be to learn, maybe bring a suggestion or two, and ideally come back with a working install with NatSkin, SolrPlugin, ... Should I come it would be partly thursday and friday. Cheers, MichelMallejac

MichelMallejac, if you come your needs will be accommodated. We may or may not be core developers, but we need people like you to keep us on track. I know that that I would really like to understand what you need from Foswiki rather than what I assume every Foswiki user needs.

GuilainCabannes: My prefs stuff primarily relates to an SQL based store I'm working on. Once that's complete more work will need to be done in the core to really gain the benefits. Currently you can only read a whole topic, whereas for prefs you only need the prefs (partial topic).
