Hi List,
I have added a new branch to the branches part of the repository. I
thought
it would be a good idea to have a place in the wiki to document what
the
branches are, what they intend to do and to have a central place to
document
what's going on there. For the new branch, I thought about documenting
the
state and ongoing work there, instead of adding a file and checking it
in to
svn, that would be in the way when later reintegrating the finished
stuff.
A VERY good idea...maybe a main heading -- Development Planning (or a name
of your choosing) -- under Project Planning. Thanks for bringing this
up...I was just wondering about some of the branches the other day.
isnt that what we already have at
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Source_Code
here we have branches/tags etc documented.
why should we make a new place ?
no need of course, just a problem to find the hidden secrets in our
nirvana ;-)

Yes, thats why I am asking. I could not really find it, so a place in
the confluence wiki would be better. I think this would fit perfectly
somewhere in the development planning area so that everyone interested
could find what is worked on and evtl. gets even motivated to step in.
Isnt that the place people look at when they try to find out what is
going on? I would be ready to document my existing branches in brief and
extensively for new ones. An initial page per branch and maybe a short
description would be enough as a minimum (maybe autogenerated when
someone creates a branch in trunk, adding creation date and
creator...just dreaming).
In that form it may also give a preview of what may be coming to the
next versions (without forcing it, it should be train model based). E.g.
with accessibility when it would have been documented there it would be
more clear where it comes from, evtl. how far it is progressed and if it
will be in one of the next versions (e.g. include a single 'progress'
percent number).
Kay, I guess you are the one who could prepare a place for these (if we
agree to do so)...?

jan I.
Do we already have such pages/places (I looked for my aw080 branch, but
noting in the new confluence wiki) and if not, should we create a place
and
add at least a descriptive page (which may contain just a short
description)
for each branch?
If we want to do so, where could I add a first page for my new branch
and
start to document it? Any suggestions?
I am not aware of any place on the wiki that does this currently. We
do have the README file in Subversion here:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/openoffice/README
That gives a one line description of the branches.
It looks like a some are missing as this hasn't been updated in a while.
If you decide to put something on the wiki, maybe it would be a good
idea to add a link to it in the README?

Sincerely,
Armin
