Some data is already available. See the generated Python pickle file: http://incubator.apache.org/clutch.html#data We have dev list addresses and mentor names, but not mentor email addresses. I see one solution. The main "Incubation Table" at http://incubator.apache.org/projects/ could have ASF committer IDs in brackets after their names. Then clutch could gather that data. We also need an automated notice to general@ which lists all projects that are due each month. I am wary about extending Clutch's operations too far. It is already a clumsy oaf, thanks to my non-modular programming. I will generate the report_due_*.txt to have each dev list address. Later we can add the mentor addresses. So whoever develops the application to send the mail can either parse that, or use the "Python pickle file" directly. > Interim to someone with their own itch to automate email, it would be > easy (for someone) to copy/paste the list of email addresses into a > Marvin-style email subject: Podling reports are due by March 10... > > If the information to generate the email addresses is not available in > the form needed, let's see how to make it available, for example > update the STATUS file to include the reminder email addresses. However, as Clutch shows, many projects just don't attend to their status files. So that is not reliable. Clutch tries to find other ways to supplement that data. -David --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
