I can't unilaterally hand out those files as a result. I suggest you create some dummy files for testing purposes. To get you started I will send you my own file and the outreach index files (which don't contain any personal info). I'll send these offlist. Sent from my Windows Phone From: Nithish R Sent: =E2=80=8E8/=E2=80=8E24/=E2=80=8E2013 10:54 PM To: dev; Ross Gardler Subject: Re: Enhancements to the "nearby people" application using Wookie Widgets Hi Ross, I have been exploring the different options in the nearby people app. The app has got a RESTful API to extract the details in JSON or RDF format. But while trying to run the app, I am having issues with getting the list of mentors & speakers which is necessary for the application to work. But to download these from the SVN, the user needs to be an Apache Committer. So what should I do to get hold of these files? These are the links holding the information regarding the mentors & speakers. https://svn.apache.org/repos/private/committers/info https://svn.apache.org/repos/private/committers/local-outreach Thanks & Regards, Nithish R On Mon, Aug 12, 2013 at 10:10 PM, Ross Gardler <[email protected]>wrote: > HI Nithish, > > That sounds like a realistic timeframe - although I'm not familiar with > your experience levels or the amount of time you have available each week= . > Please "release early, release often" as you work.
