That is nice. Okay, Clutch now re-generates those files every time it runs. report_due_1.txt is for group-1 (Jan,Apr,Jul,Oct) report_due_2.txt is for group-2 (Feb,May,Aug,Nov) report_due_3.txt is for group-3 (Mar,Jun,Sep,Dec) e.g. cat report_due_2.txt BlueSky Cassandra Droids ESME Kato Lokahi PDFBox PhotArk Pivot Sling Stonehenge VCL WSRP4J XAP Please say if you want a different format or additional text in the files. Would you or someone else please handle the cron job to send the email. So projects will then have many ways to know when their reports are due: * http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/ReportingSchedule * http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/ * http://incubator.apache.org/clutch.html * the commit diffs for the report_due_*.txt * http://incubator.apache.org/report_due_2.txt etc. * the automated email each month. The remaining problem will be that someone needs to create the Wiki page at the beginning of each month, e.g. http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/February2009 and add the banner, due date, and list of projects. For the last few months that has been me. Please don't rely on that. Anyone can do it. Ditto with running Clutch. If someone wants to create a more sophisticated Marvin-like reminder system, or extend Marvin, then the main data file generated by Clutch has the name of the podling's dev list, which reporting group, and whether they are on monthly reporting. http://incubator.apache.org/clutch.html#data Do 'python clutch2data.py' in the top-level of incubator svn. -David > I guess, by a similar approach, it would be possible to template out the > wiki page such that a simple cut and paste would get the report page up > in no time. > > Just thoughts about how we could get a quick hit out of the valuable > data Clutch collects. > > Upayavira --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
