#pragma section-numbers 2 = Goaltender = <> Priorities for managing daily Mercurial project tasks. <> == Rationale == In the interest of reducing [[mpm]]'s workload and spreading responsibilities, we're going to experiment with occasional rotations of people filling his daily roles. Hopefully this will increase the project's capacity and let mpm do some coding. == Priorities == In descending priority order: * make sure queued messages are accepted/rejected * whitelist legitimate posters * drop spam, reject recruiter mail * [[http://bz.mercurial-scm.org/buglist.cgi?j_top=OR&f1=bug_status&list_id=6219&o1=equals&resolution=---&o2=equals&query_format=advanced&f2=priority&bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=CONFIRMED&bug_status=NEED_EXAMPLE&bug_status=IN_PROGRESS&bug_status=TESTING&v1=UNCONFIRMED&v2=URGENT|bug triage]] * appropriately categorize unconfirmed bugs * with special attention to possible regressions * cc relevant/guilty parties * ask for missing data, set NEED_EXAMPLE as necessary * look for interesting issues on the user mailing list * check [[http://buildbot.mercurial-scm.org/waterfall|buildbot status]] * patch review * sync from other repos * review patches, in priority order * test * push == Schedule == /!\ The rotation is currently suspended. * [[https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=jam658kkksao35m0t7tv9na9ak%40group.calendar.google.com|Google calendar with the official schedule]] == Setup == When you become a Goatlender, consider: * subscribe to both mercurial-devel@mercurial-scm.org and mercurial@mercurial-scm.org (the user mailing list), * are tracking activity of the bugzilla user on the bugtracker to track all activity automatically, * are subscribed to all wiki update. == Notes == Journal of notable fact to pass the next goaltender === 2015 Week 42 (oct 12) === * durin42 is working on a new changegroup format that can transfer treemanifests * indygreg is working on formalizing the format of streaming clones so it's more generally useful These two topics have in common a need to interact with (and possibly extend) repository store requirements during initial clone. This is currently unsupported. * sid0 is working on some merge driver stuff, meandering towards more in-memory operations * foozy had more work on transaction sanity. It looked like it was starting to wind down. ---- CategoryDeveloper CategoryProject
