Last Week in Cordova Blog Post
Feel free to comment or point out if there were notable things that I've missed: https://reviews.apache.org/r/14127/ Will post EOD.
Re: Cordova Blog
Thanks Andrew What's the deal with https://reviews.apache.org ? I found it empty (i.e. 3 items) Is the Apache Cordova project migrating to it soon?, people don't know about it? If the Cordova Project wants to make it part fo the dev workflow it might help to document it on the Wiki http://wiki.apache.org/cordova/ContributorWorkflow I try using it and I failed, if someone can write a short cheat for it that will be awesome. -Carlos On Mon, Jul 8, 2013 at 9:36 PM, Andrew Grieve agri...@chromium.org wrote: I got the site added to review.apache.org, so in the future we can use that for reviewing changes / new blog posts.

Re: Cordova Blog
Just a bit confused here For committers code reviews are done in reviews.apache.org For contributors code reviews are done in github.com Why? Guessing here: Committers don't use pull request system of github.com, they use git on git-wip-us.apache.org server and for some reason committers are not allow to do code reviews suing github pull requests and site? Maybe I got frustrated with reviews.apache.org because I didn't get the rbtools to work on my mac, and since I'm not a committer maybe I should stick with github pull requests. --Carlos On Tue, Jul 9, 2013 at 9:45 AM, Andrew Grieve agri...@chromium.org wrote: Yeah, I'd say our current state is that we're testing the waters with it. Not yet ready to tell 3rd party devs to use it instead of github. It has been added to http://wiki.apache.org/cordova/CommitterWorkflow, For cordova-site, I realize that I haven't yet added a .reviewboardrc to it, so uploading a review wouldn't be as smooth as for the other repos.

Re: Cordova Blog
What is .reviewboardrc ? is that a file on every cordova git repo? What post-review tool? If its RBTools I couldn't get that to work on my mac, maybe is a permission thing.

Re: Cordova Blog
ah I see, thanks for the explanation Cool I see it now duh! cordova-docs:(master)$ cat .reviewboardrc # # Settings for post-review (used for uploading diffs to reviews.apache.org). # GUESS_FIELDS = True OPEN_BROWSER = True TARGET_GROUPS = 'cordova' REVIEWBOARD_URL = 'http://reviews.apache.org' On Tue, Jul 9, 2013 at 10:39 AM, Andrew Grieve agri...@chromium.org wrote: post-review is what rbtools is going to replacing. I haven't tried rbtools yet. .reviewboard is meant to be checked in to each repo and read by post-review / rbtools. Using github vs. reviewboard are both valid right avenues right now for code review. The idea behind introducing reviewboard is that it's apache hosted and doesn't require cloning the repos onto github.

I'd like to create a Blog for Cordova and make all Committers able to post to it. We could use it to: - Post release announcements release notes - Draw attention to deprecations and upgrade guides - Deep dive into significant improvements / changes Mainly, I think having a blog for the project will be really help by providing an authoritative source for Cordova blob posts (as opposed to on our personal blogs, which I appreciate, but which I feel are lacking authority). I'm quite inexperienced at blogging, so everyone agrees we should go ahead with this, it'd be good if someone more blog-savvy would own setting it up. -- Carlos Santana csantan...@gmail.com -- Carlos Santana csantan...@gmail.com -- Carlos Santana csantan...@gmail.com
Cordova Blog
I brought it up in a separate thread ( http://callback.markmail.org/thread/y44pmva6gfm257sl) but probably deserves its own.

Re: Cordova Blog
Currently, PhoneGap aggregates the blog posts of many committers at phonegap.com/blog. The downside of this is that it's an Adobe blog, and it's not Apache Cordova. Apache Cordova should probably have its own blog, but I see a lot of the same content being in two different places. If someone wants to take this on, that'd be awesome.
