Hi all We should probably discuss some ideas for Google Summer of Code this year. I see people have already added few to the wiki page[1] which is great and all but wikis aren't for discussions..
The plan as I see it: Discuss ideas. Draft them up on the wiki. Move them to php.net/ideas when they are solid enough. Couple of ideas I'd love the see implemented: New bugtracker for all the *.php.net projects (one-tracker-rules-them-all). - Feature requests for specific extensions/module/class/component - Documentation bug for specific extension/module/class/component - "Milestones" - When a FR is closed then its automatically classified as documentation problem - When a commit contains "bug#n" the commit message and links to the changed files (diffs) are automatically added to the report - Possibility to reply to reports (add comment, change status) via email - Notification system (i.e. "watch this report") which sends email to people watching that report on changes - Monthly reminders to reporters of reports with status "feedback"/"no feedback" - No #%"#$& signup required to file reports - Possibility to attach files (patch/phpt) - Developer authentication against CVS (fallback to pear/peclweb) accounts - Support for openid (i.e. users with openid don't have to fill out a completely unreadable CAPTCHA) PhD: - PDF format support - CHM format support - man format support - PEAR/Gtk "themes" - Create a true indexer - Implement the rest of the standard Docbook elements+attributes - Implement default "themes" for all formats - Support for dbhtml processing instructions Random other ideas (most probably too small): - openid extension - threaded run-tests.php and graphical stats - mirror-test bot rewrite - automatically run relevant tests on new commit (i.e commits to ext/foo triggers test run for ext/foo/tests) - daily/weekly buildfailure mails to internals@ (win/linux/solaris/bsd/mac/..) - doxygen-to-phpdoc/docbook - user-submitted-coverage to gcov - reST to html/docbook parser - translation tool allowing users to suggest better translations ... So, what do you guys think? Have any ideas? -Hannes [1] http://wiki.php.net/gsoc/2008 -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
