Hi Dionysios and thanks for your proposal,

I see you studied the import/export project already, but I'm not sure
you already tried FusionForge. Please follow point 1 and 2 of our
contributor guide:
https://fusionforge.org/plugins/mediawiki/wiki/fusionforge/index.php/New_Contributor
and tell us how you feel about it :)
I  have been trying to set-up the VM, but I run into some minor issues.

My CPU doesn't support virtualization for 64-bit systems, so I had
to find a different PC to run it.
Other than that, I managed to set it up properly (I think), the
"install.sh" script didn't work out of the box,
What was the problem?
As you saw this is the newcomer entry point, so better fix than work-around.

The problem is that the local repository that is created is empty, thus the "fusionforge-full" and "gforge-db-postgresql" packages cannot be found when trying to install them.

This originates from the build script.
After running "update.sh", the build script is updated and the error occurs from a command on line 80 (the one below).

dch --newversion $(dpkg-parsechangelog | sed -n 's/^Version: \([0-9.]\+\(\~rc[0-9]\)\).*/\1/p')+$(date +%Y%m%d%H%M)-1 --distribution local --force-distribution "Autobuilt."


The '+' sign that is intended to append the date to the result of "sed", is getting printed in front of the date output as part of the version number. This generates a warning when running the build script, but the script continues execution, so it's easy to miss it and then, if you run the "install.sh" script it will fail to execute at line 40.

My fix was:

 *    run the update script

 *    remove the plus '+' operator from the build script (above command)

 *    then run the build script


Was I the only on that had this error?
What should I do to let others know about it?
and I had to include the deb and deb-src sources manually, as stated
here: 
https://fusionforge.org/plugins/mediawiki/wiki/fusionforge/index.php/Installing/DebianRepositories#5.2_Build
Except that I have a working development environment and I also
played around with it a bit.
Good (even though this version is roughly 1y1/2 old).
So what do your first feelings with FusionForge?

Did you already contribute to a free software / open source projet?
So far I haven't contributed to free software, although my
internship's project was / is open source.
What project is it? :)

The company I had my internship at, offers a service that uses an open-source database called 6PP that holds all the postcode information for Netherlands and Belgium. The database information can be consumed via a REST API, provided by the company.

My task was to create a plugin for Joomla and one for Wordpress that would ease the integration of the service for these platforms and allow less technically experienced users to use it with their web stores. I also maintained the plugins that people contributed to the company for different platforms. You can find more details about it here: http://www.pro6pp.nl/demo/autocomplete/demo

Can you also tell us when your current internship is ending?
I already finished my internship, almost a month ago and I am
currently at my first semester of my final year.
Great, no conflict then.
