Akademy talk proposal

[mutlu_inek]

Marta,

This is a great initiative. :) I just want to contribute some rather raw ideas, before your email gets dusty in the archives. Feel free to tear it all apart.

As all of us will probably know, some developers already add notes to their feature commits. Some seem to be using FEATURE and some DIGEST as keywords. We should probably define how to use these keywords and propose their wider adoption. An update to Enzyme that would mark such commit messages in a way similar to bug fixes would make us not overlook them by accident. I would propose that FEATURE means that a new feature has been added to a KDE program. DIGEST on the other hand does npt need to concern a feature, but could be meant to raise the reviewers awareness and call for more detailed description in the digest. Alternatively, even something like ARTICLE could be proposed, prompting a request to write a few lines for a feature article for the digest. However, I think the latter keyword would be used rarely if ever, since few devs are really thrilled when we want them write something up.

If at least the FEATURE keyword would be taken up by all developers, the reviewing would get quite a bit easier. I don't think it would ever become obsolete, since too much interesting stuff, especially in "playground" (for example, all the work on conqueire over the past weeks) would be overlooked.


Any other ideas?

Cheers, mutlu

Betreff: Akademy talk proposal

Hello all,
The Akademy Call for Papers is out. I have an idea of a talk with the working 
title of "How to make your commit seen?" about the ways developers may
make our life easier. 

When I think more about it, it is about commit message
writing, dividing feature set into commits (and git workflow in general), 
special tags, comments in the code etc etc.

I'm going to make some research for the talk, but I'd like to hear your 
impressions, esp. the things you'd like to pass to the developers.

Thanks,
Marta
