maintenance for views-integration
July 21, 2014, 05:35:14 am
Hi,

my colleague from SYSTOPIA read in this post http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php/topic,30126.msg129407.html#msg129407 that the views-integration-code is looking for a maintainer.
Some of our clients are using the views-integration and we've already done some coding in this respect. So my colleague asked me to figure out if it would make sense to take on the views-integration-maintenance by myself.

I am really not sure if I am the right person for this task. But before skipping it all I would like to learn more about the tasks of a maintainer.
There are a few questions I have, but I am thankfull for any information someone could give me:

  • What excactly is the code that should be maintained.
  • What are the common tasks and strategies of a maintainer?
  • What is the average workload  for maintaining the views-integration-code?
  • What time will it probably take to become acquainted with maintaining the views-integration-code?

Thanks a lot,
thomas

That's awesome - I hope it does.

    What excactly is the code that should be maintained.

Fixing the bugs that come in and ensuring that the module remains compatible with newer versions of CiviCRM as they are released.
https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM/component/10320/?selectedTab=com.atlassian.jira.jira-projects-plugin:component-summary-panel shows some of the current open views issues - you could always also search for views on jira.

You might want to contact the previous maintainer (Jalama / Jim Taylor jim AT rootyhollow dot com though I don't think he is involved with CivICRM much anymore.

If you have already done some coding - hopefully not long.  You can always start and see how it goes.  I know that Chris Chincilla was thinking about getting involved but am not sure how far that has gone.

I thought Chris Ward had put his hand up for this but given he is now travelling (?) in europe I am not sure how much he has given it. We continue to have a strong interest in this and have contributed many fixes/improvements to it and will continue to do so which hopefully helps the efforts

Hey all… I have been handling this but have been busy with work and moving the past few months. I was actually going to put some time into this today though. However, would always welcome a hand!

PM me and we'll talk some more about sharing tasks etc…
