minimum viable product and goals
editcommunication plan
edit- daily IRC check-in and weekly hangouts with mentors
- plan to do a lot of community involvement by pinging interested parties as soon as a minimum viable product is available in a test environment
- this is to find issue but also to make a better product by gathering feature requsts
lessons learned since 21 April
edit- issues are often more complex then they look like
- while someone is doing code review, it's often good to have a means of real-time communication
- evaluating different tools took a considerable amount of time
- not so surprising as I am a longterm member:
- there's a lot of setup work and helpful build services
- the above doesn't always work
- as well as deployment options like vagrant wmf-labs
setting up a working environment
editOperating system | Server | IDE | performance | notes |
---|---|---|---|---|
Vagrant/Ubuntu 12.x as a VBox guest | LAMP | - (you can presumably use vim) or just your preferred editor on the host system | OK patience required | easy to set up; |
openSUSE 12.x as a VBox guest | LAMP | - (using kate) | OK | easy to set up if not even choosen LAMP during installation |
Ubuntu 14.04 as a VBox guest | LAMP | - (using gedit) | OK | easy to set up (apt-get, ubuntu software center etc.) |
Windows 8.1 as a VBox guest | (W)AMPPS | PHPStorm | Too slow. | easy to set up; PHPStorm as autoated spell checker, spots errors etc. and break-point debugging; however you have to limit HDD bandwidth if you are not on SSD and want to be able to use your host system -- I guess it's related to windows installer post installation optimization services |
Windows 7 | EasyPHP (WAMP) | Eclipse (pdt) | OK | easy to set up; break-point debugging works fine; eclipse has several helpful plugIns [not fully tested all]; however image converts/scalers are not on-board on Windows: code style templates: php, js; Running PHP from CLI; CLI debugging; Important: Adjust the default char encoding. It should be UTF-8. |
