Mr. Simmons, I regret I have not seen your hosting request until now because the subject line under which you submitted it did not indicate that it was such a request. The usual way of requesting a hosting via the devel list would be to submit it with a subject line such as, "Activity hosting application: Read".
Now that I have seen your request, I am still as yet unable to process it as you omitted your ssh public key from your application, listing "?" instead. Your application as I have seen it follows: 1. Project name : Read ETexts Activity 2. Existing website, if any : None 3. One-line description : A simple Python Activity for reading Gutenberg etexts 4. Longer description : This will be a fairly trivial activity that allows : paging through Gutenberg etexts. It will support : reading text files (loaded from a USB device) or : Zip files containing a single text file (which is : the easiest format to download to the Journal using : the Browse activity). It will have a user interface : quite similar to the Read activity, and will support : most of the functions of that activity except it : will support plain text files instead of PDFs. 5. URLs of similar projects : http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Read 6. Committer list Please list the maintainer (lead developer) as the first entry. Only list developers who need to be given accounts so that they can commit to your project's code repository, or push their own. There is no need to list non-committer developers. Username Full name SSH2 key URL E-mail -------- --------- ------------ ------ #1 jdsimmons James Simmons ? ja.simmons at sbcglobal.net #2 #3 ... If any developers don't have their SSH2 keys on the web, please attach them to the application e-mail. 7. Preferred development model [X] Central tree. Every developer can push his changes directly to the project's git tree. This is the standard model that will be familiar to CVS and Subversion users, and that tends to work well for most projects. [ ] Maintainer-owned tree. Every developer creates his own git tree, or multiple git trees. He periodically asks the maintainer to look at one or more of these trees, and merge changes into the maintainer-owned, "main" tree. This is the model used by the Linux kernel, and is well-suited to projects wishing to maintain a tighter control on code entering the main tree. If you choose the maintainer-owned tree model, but wish to set up some shared trees where all of your project's committers can commit directly, as might be the case with a "discussion" tree, or a tree for an individual feature, you may send us such a request by e-mail, and we will set up the tree for you. 8. Set up a project mailing list: [ ] Yes, named after our project name [ ] Yes, named ______________________ [X] No When your project is just getting off the ground, we suggest you eschew a separate mailing list and instead keep discussion about your project on the main OLPC development list. This will give you more input and potentially attract more developers to your project; when the volume of messages related to your project reaches some critical mass, we can trivially create a separate mailing list for you. If you need multiple lists, let us know. We discourage having many mailing lists for smaller projects, as this tends to stunt the growth of your project community. You can always add more lists later. 9. Commit notifications [ ] Notification of commits to the main tree should be e-mailed to the list we chose to create above [ ] A separate mailing list, <projectname>-git, should be created for commit notifications [X] No commit notifications, please 10. Shell accounts As a general rule, we don't provide shell accounts to developers unless there's a demonstrated need. If you have one, please explain here, and list the usernames of the committers above needing shell access. 11. Translation [X] Set up the laptop.org Pootle server to allow translation commits to be made [ ] Translation arrangements have already been made at _______________ 12. Notes/comments: Since the toolbar will be adapted from the Read toolbar I should be able to use the same translations. Also, since the activity will be simple and entirely in Python it might be good sample code for new Activity developers to look at. The memory requirements of the Activity will be very low, because I'm building a list of pointers to where each page begins rather than storing the document in memory. --- Henry Edward Hardy sysadmin [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
