Hello, I am Snigdha, from India. I have written technical blogs as a freelancer and would like to start contributing to open source projects as part of the documentation team. I have already gone through several links about this project, but just thought I would drop in to say hi. Are there any specific guidelines I should keep in mind while starting? |
11:18 |
phasefx |
snigdha26: welcome! |
11:19 |
snigdha26 |
phasefx: Hi! |
11:20 |
snigdha26 |
any pointers for a newbie? |
11:20 |
phasefx |
snigdha26: I don't write documentation, but if you hang out the channel some of the "DIGgers" may chime in. But in my mnd, for guidelines... don't let perfection be the enemy of good enough? small iterations can be better than large chunks |
11:22 |
snigdha26 |
phasefx: haha, sure! Is there any particular time when they check the IRC? |
11:22 |

okay! Thanks a lot :) |

phasefx |
or just say hi on the documentation mailing list |
11:24 |
phasefx |
better for asynchronicity, but a lot of folks just lurk in channel here and peek in when they're able |
11:24 |
yboston |
snigdha26: welcome, I work a lot with the offical Evergreen docs. I can help explian things for you |
11:24 |

yboston: Hi! I've already gone through the links given on the website, about the documentation. Are there any ready issues I can start working on? Also I would like to take part in the OPW program if possible. Any specialy guidelines I need to keep in mind for the same |
11:29 |
yboston |
snigdha26: we do have a couple of lists of things we need help with, some require having access to a copy of Evergreen client software |
11:35 |
snigdha26 |
yboston: Should I install it right away? Im working on windows right now, but can switch to ubuntu if needed? |
11:35 |
kmlussier |
snigdha26: Depending on what you are documenting, you could use one of the community demos. |
11:35 |
yboston |
snigdha26: sorry, I had to take a phone call |
11:36 |
kmlussier |
snigdha26: http://evergreen-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=community_servers#community_demo_servers |
11:36 |
yboston |
snigdha26: let me first exlain that overall Evergreen has to sotware parts, the server part, and the client part |
11:37 |
yboston |
the client can be installed on windows very easily, and you can then connect your client to a community (test) server like Kathy mentioned |
11:38 |
yboston |
snigdha26: the server part of Evergreen has a lot more steps for installation and cannot be installed on windows. |
11:38 |
yboston |
usually to write docuemntation for this prject you only need the client |
11:39 |
snigdha26 |
kmlussier: I'll start with installing the client server then. |
11:40 |
snigdha26 |
yboston: What part of the documentation can I start working with after that? |
11:48 |
kmlussier |
snigdha26: We have some small doc needs at http://bit.ly/YqlB8y that might be good to start on. |

kmlussier: okay, thanks a lot :) Will get back to you after I look through this |
11:55 |
yboston |
snigdha26: my apologies again, I had someone else call me. |
11:55 |
yboston |
snigdha26: I want to make it claer that the Evergreen "server" and the Evergreen "client" are two seprate peices fo software |
11:56 |
yboston |
snigdha26: The Evergreen cleint is easy to install on Windows. Once you install it you need to point your Evergreen client to one of the Commmunity servers that are already isntalled and running for anyone to use |
12:02 |
snigdha26 |
yboston: I've installed the Evergreen client |
12:06 |
yboston |
snigdha26: now you need to conenct your Evergreen client to one of the community servers that kmlussier mentioned earlier here http://evergreen-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=community_servers#community_demo_servers |
12:07 |
yboston |
snigdha26: when you run the Evergreen cleint, you will see a window that asks for information to connect to an Evergreen server |
12:08 |
yboston |
like "hostname" , where you would use the URL of one of the test servers listed in the community server link |
12:09 |
yboston |
though you should not use the "http://" part of the community server. So for the "hotname" value use "demo.evergreencatalog.com" instead of "http://demo.evergreencatalog.com/" |
12:11 |
snigdha26 |

there is an issue that always comes up the very ifrst time you connect the EG cleint to a EG server |
12:12 |
yboston |
it might be happening this time too |
12:12 |
yboston |
what does the client say right below the button called "re-test server" |
12:12 |
yboston |
does it say "200: Ok" |
12:12 |
yboston |
in greeen? |
12:13 |
snigdha26 |
yboston: status: 200 ok |
12:13 |
yboston |
it says 200 OK once or twice? |
12:13 |
snigdha26 |
yboston: twice. For status and version both |
12:14 |
yboston |
OK, that is good |
12:14 |
kmlussier |
snigdha26: Which demo server are you using? |
12:14 |
snigdha26 |
kmlussier: demo.evergreencatalog.com |
12:16 |
kmlussier |
Hmmmm...I'm getting the same error when I try registering a workstation on that server. |
12:16 |
yboston |
snigdha26: let me try it on my computer to see if I see the same problem. need to ddownload cleitn software first, etc |
12:18 |
snigdha26 |
yboston: Im behind a proxy server. That wouldn't make a difference right? |
12:18 |
kmlussier |
snigdha26: No, I don't think it's you. There seems to be a problem with that server right now. |
12:18 |
yboston |
that could make a difference, but I just got a network erro too |
12:18 |
yboston |
*error |
12:18 |
yboston |
and I am not using a proxy |
12:20 |
kmlussier |
I don't know if anyone from ESI has time to look at a problem with the demo server, but the error I get when trying to register a workstation is http://pastebin.com/M2uV90Td |
12:20 |
yboston |
I think there is something wrong with that community server |
12:20 |
bshum |
snigdha26: Actually proxy servers can sometimes interfere with Evergreen functionality. But it sounds like there is still something wrong with that server. |
12:20 |
kmlussier |
snigdha26: In the meantime, you might want to try the MassLNC demo server. |
12:24 |

kmlussier: I tried doing that but Im unable to open that page. |

yboston |
snigdha26: this is good that you are helping us test our test community servers, thanks! |
12:28 |
snigdha26 |
yboston: haha, just trying to get started |
12:29 |
kmlussier |
yboston: Better to find the problems now than in the middle of Friday's DIG hackfest, right? :) |
12:29 |
yboston |
kmlussier: exactly |
12:30 |
snigdha26 |
yboston: what's the hackfest about? |
12:32 |
yboston |
the Evergreen community has a group called DIG (Docuemntation Interest Group) that kmlussier and I are part of. This Friday, September 12 we are having a DIG hack-a-way. |
12:32 |
kmlussier |
snigdha26: The 2.7 release of Evergreen will be out later this month. The goal of this hack-a-way is to try to finish documenting our new 2.7 features. |
12:32 |
yboston |
On that day memebrs of DIG and new volunteers will spend a whole day wproking on documentation |
12:35 |
snigdha26 |
yboston, kmlussier: That sounds great! I'll try to get familiar with the software till then. Would love to help out |
12:37 |
yboston |
snigdha26: that would be great |
12:38 |
yboston |
snigdha26: we can help answer questions this week in preparation for Friday or for contributing any other day |
12:40 |
kmlussier |
Speaking of OPW, does anyone have the tuits to look through the LP bugs and identify any new bitesize bugs that may have been filed since the last time we were doing something like this? I looked at them, but I don't have a good handle on which bugs are easy fixes and which are more complicated. |

12:47 |
snigdha26 |
kmlussier: There's an error testing the hostname |
12:48 |

snigdha26: any errors in the are below "re-test server"? |
12:48 |
yboston |

12:48 |
kmlussier |
snigdha26: you might need to add an SSL exception for that server. |
12:49 |
snigdha26 |
yboston, kmlussier: All good, I was able to register :D |
12:50 |
kmlussier |
snigdha26: Was it the SSL exception? If so, I should add that info to the wiki page. |
12:50 |
snigdha26 |
kmlussier: yes, it needs the SSl exception |
12:51 |

kmlussier, yboston: How can I go about fixing the bugs reported on http://bit.ly/YqlB8y |
13:04 |
|
_bott_ joined #evergreen |
13:04 |
yboston |
snigdha26: it depends on the bug. One bug mentions that there is a bad link on a part of the documentation |
13:05 |
yboston |
you would need to find the locaiton of the bad link, copy the bad docuemntation section, and re-write it with the corect URL, then submit the corrected text to the DIG maling list |
13:07 |
yboston |
it might be easier to start with the new features for 2.7 that we need to document on Friday. A couple of them are very simple with little work to do, but good for practice |
13:07 |
kmlussier |
snigdha26: Have you looked at the guidelines at http://evergreen-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=evergreen-docs:how-to-contribute-documentation? |
13:07 |
snigdha26 |
yboston: same goes for say, the formatting bug? Re-write the documentation and submit on the mailing list? |
13:09 |
yboston |
one catch is that, on some bugs, you need to fix AsciiDoc. on other bugs you don't. when providing new documentation it is optional to use AsciiDoc |
13:10 |
kmlussier |
snigdha26: So for that bug, remingtron provided links to the files where there are formatting bugs. If you look at the intermediate instructions on that page, it talks about how you can make edit to the files in github. |
13:11 |

kmlussier: Can I do that even though Im only a beginner? Or should I use the mailing list first? |

snigdha26: exactly |

my name is "Yamil" and I assigned two extremely simple tasks for 2.7 that would be good for learning the basics of contribtuting |
13:14 |
yboston |
I meant to say I assinged myself two simple tasks, and I am looking to team up with a new volunteer. |
13:14 |
kmlussier |
snigdha26: I would try it as a first step. The edits there don't make it into the live documentation. You'll still need to send an e-mail to the list to have it reviewed before it makes it into the documentation. |
13:15 |
yboston |
snigdha26: I need to get some lunch now, but I will be back at my computer in 30 minutes. You can also try to reach me tomorrow on IRC as yboston |

Very good, where did you put the changes? I don't see an attachment to the email you sent to the DIG mailing list |
14:29 |
yboston |
did you make the changes on Github? |
14:30 |
snigdha26 |
yboston: I made the changes on the files on github itself |
14:31 |
yboston |
I see it now |
14:36 |
yboston |
this is a good start |
14:37 |
yboston |
I have helped other volunteers that have used Github to make changes thourgh "forking" and "pull requests". I don't think you used that approach, but i could be wrong. |
14:37 |
yboston |
I have not helped anyone usign your method of editing directly on Gihub without doing a fork. I know there is a way to move your cahnges to the main EG repository by just using the Github site, but I am not sure how. |
14:37 |
snigdha26 |
yboston: can i know more about the tasks on Cataloging and OPAC that are under you? |
14:38 |
yboston |
I know a more complicated way of getting you changes in using Git on my computer's command line |
14:38 |
snigdha26 |
yboston: I haven't really worked on Github before this |
14:38 |
yboston |
snigdha26: it is good you have started with Github |
14:39 |
snigdha26 |
I just followed the instructions on the 'How to contribute' page |
14:39 |
yboston |
the EG community is trying to use it more and more, the DIG group is still learning how to use it for docuemntation |
14:40 |
snigdha26 |
should I be using the method you mentioned? |
14:40 |
yboston |
Github should be a lot easier, I just need to learn a few things first |
14:40 |

14:41 |

I need to read those intructions for Github on the DIG page, they have been changes since the last time I read them. hold on |
14:43 |
snigdha26 |
I wasn't sure about how to make changes for the other bugs since I couldn't find the relevant link on the github site |
14:54 |
yboston |
I read the Github suggestions in the DIG pages, but I am still not sure how to move your cahnges by just using the Github site. Let me send an emial to another DIG member for help. At the latest by Wednesday I will have added your cahnges by the Github site or I will use Git on my computer. |
14:56 |
snigdha26 |
yboston: Sure :) I'll figure out how to use git by then |
15:06 |
yboston |
I sent out the email to remingtron to see what he thinks. In the meantime, it might help for you to cick the "fork" button for the EG repository to more easily make changes right from Github |

there might be another step she has to take on Github so we can properly see her change |
15:18 |

snigdha26: could you create a pull request for each of your changes? Github makes this pretty easy. |
