[p2pu-dev] tech call notes 2012-05-02

[Dirk Uys]

 *May 2*


   - Zuzel update (I actually meant something else, but good to hear what
   you have been up to)


   - multiple task edit/create/order in progress -- demo:
   http://alpha.p2pu.org/en/groups/test01/content/edit/


   - user-10/password


   - can edit/order tasks on the same page


   - included test at apps/content/tests.py for this functionality


   - P: breaks layout on my computer / OSX Chrome - editor is too wide for
   the content box


   - http://cl.ly/0M2K1y0D2Y021T1U3G47


   - tested and updated lernanta setup instructions with ubuntu 12.04


   - improvements to the django admin site -- https://p2pu.org/admin/


   - the performance + ui of the admin site is better now


   - did not manage to make it simple enough for non-tech people to handle
   spam


   - couple of bug fixes:


   - fixed cancel link of new comments page


   - fixed next task link


   - Next step sysadmin responsibilities


   - http://pad.p2pu.org/p/detailed-responsibilities


   - dirk and I had a chat yesterday --
http://pad.p2pu.org/<http://pad.p2pu.org/p/zuzel_dirk>
   p/zuzel_dirk <http://pad.p2pu.org/p/zuzel_dirk>


   - next step: meeting tomorrow 1 hour and a half before the community
   call to talk about the release


   - *Sysadmin task included here -> **
   http://pad.p2pu.org/p/detailed-responsibilities*<http://pad.p2pu.org/p/detailed-responsibilities>


   - Linode accounts (Dirk)


   - Next steps:


   - Add Dirk to management interace for our linodes


   - Zuzel and Dirk to look at the menus and features together tomorrow


   - Backups


   - Currently handled by Andre


   - Next steps:


   - Dirk to talk with Andre about current setup


   - Next steps:


   - work out who will take responsibility of each sys admin tasks in the
   future


   - identify an "owner" for all responsibilities


   - Badges discussion


   - Dirk's prototype


   - beware -> v0.0001


   - http://dev.p2pu.org:4456/en/groups/flying-101/edit/badges/


   - user: user3 / password: password3


   - http://www.flickr.com/photos/79237959@N02/sets/72157629946995703/


   - Course-completion-badges


   - Create hard one-to-one association between course-badge and course (so
   no other users / challenges can award the same badge)


   - Original design based on Webmaking 101, which is not generalizable


   - Badges


   - http://pad.p2pu.org/p/new-badges


   - Should badges be reviewed before it can be added to a challenge?


   - More general question: do we (need to) do quality assurance?


   - For courses / challenges - Community featured. Natural selection


   - For badges? Maybe a more important question than for courses


   - Who should be able to create badges?


   - Skill badges


   - challenge creator -> challenge badge


   - badges per task


   - Schools admins -> schools badges


   - P2PU for community badges (awarded anywhere on the site, or automated)


   - https://trello.com/card/badges/4f323cb0dc4f892e67959f11/17


   - don't remember creating
   http://p2pu.org/en/badges/p2pu-technical-contributor/ -- did dirk work
   on this one?


   - looks good


   - Next Step:


   - john + new learning lead + philipp + dirk: scope badges project and
   define responsibilities


   - Roadmap


   - http://pad.p2pu.org/p/priorities-project-pipeline


   - Next steps:


   - John to review trello board and spec out next few releases (update
   column names to indicate release)


   - github wiki general items for 2012 with link to trello board


   - Dev environment set-up (how hard is it? how can we make it easier?)


   - it's fairly straight forward for developers with python and command
   line skills


   - there are detailed instructions that should work for novice developers


   - main issue is if people run into problems


   - troubleshooting takes a lot of time / complicated


   - alternative would be to create a virtual machine template that
   developers can just download


   - will still look into using vagrant for dev environment (uses
   virtualbox to automatic setup)


   - https:// next steps


   - google search results require page refresh


   - soloved: not, yet


   - Next step:


   - John to investigate
