As you probably know Ripple is not a very active project right now. If there is no take up from the community then the projects mentors will step up to help you get your work done. For now - keep it up, and thnks. Ross -----Original Message----- From: Tim Barham [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, January 27, 2015 4:11 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [DISCUSS] Ripple Release Hi all, First I would like to introduce myself - my name is Tim Barham, and I'm on the Visual Studio team at Microsoft. I've been doing some work on Cordova, and am currently working to help get a release of Ripple out. However, I'm completely new to the process, so would certainly appreciate any tips! First steps for me have been to get a package put together. I'm working on Windows (surprise :) ), and hit some issues building Ripple (similar to that recently described by Venkata Kiran). However, I was able to get the build working by running it in a Cygwin terminal. I've created a package by leveraging some of the tools that have been created for Cordova (in cordova-coho). But I have a few questions: 1. Do we need to update the version number before doing a release? If so, to what (currently 0.9.24)? 2. I've signed the package, but my PGP certificate has not been authenticated by anyone in the Apache "web of trust", so I may need to sort that out. 3. Is there somewhere I can put the package for people to take a look at? 4. I found some source files that look to me like that should have the Apache 2.0 headers but don't. Should I just make the changes and open a pull request? Here are the files: lib/server/emulate/cordovaProject.js lib/server/emulate/static.js lib/client/ui/plugins/about-dialog/dialog.html lib/client/ui/plugins/confirm-dialog/dialog.html lib/client/ui/plugins/exec-dialog/dialog.html lib/client/ui/plugins/settings-dialog/dialog.html I'm working my way through the relevant Apache documents, and I'm sure I'll have more questions, but in the meantime any help would be greatly appreciated.
