Generally yes, though for real-time communications, there is the IRC channel #arches on irc.Freenode.net. Arches folks were often there during the Google Summer of Code period (though no one is in the channel right now). Maybe that channel should be mentioned on http://archesproject.org/development/ ?

[Arches] We are now in GSoC Student Application period.
Just so everyone knows: We are now in the Google Summer of Code student application period, which ends March 21st at 19:00 UTC. See the GSoC 2014 home page: https://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/homepage/google/gsoc2014 When they're ready, students should apply using the mechanism described in the FAQ: https://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/document/show/gsoc_program/google/gsoc2014/help_page For example, see the questions How does a student apply? and What should a student proposal look like?. The FAQ also has answers to other common questions, such as whether two students' individual applications to work on the same idea could be accepted (yes), or whether a student can submit multiple different proposals (also yes). I see many students here already interacting with the project's developers to figure out their proposals -- that is great, and is exactly how this is supposed to work. Please continue doing that :-). There's no need to rush an application; the deadline is still eleven days away. And by the way, Arches developers: it is still okay to come up with new ideas. The Ideas List does not need to be static. If recent discussions lead you to think of some new potential GSoC projects, that's fine. Post them to the mailing list and hone them. In fact, it's not even essential that they ever get on the Ideas List web page, though of course we'd try to put them up there for reference soon. In any case, a student can still apply to work on such an idea even before it is on the Ideas List page -- their application can just refer to the mailing list thread where the idea is being discussed.

[Arches] Documentation at LeanPub now requires login? Er...
At http://archesproject.org/documentation/ there are links to the Arches Installation Guide and Arches User Guide at LeanPub: https://leanpub.com/ArchesInstallationGuide https://leanpub.com/ArchesUserGuide When I last went to them (which was recently), I did *not* need a login or registration to access those docs -- I was able to start reading the PDFs right away. At least, so I recall; I definitely got to the PDFs, because I remember reading in them, and I don't think I ever created an account at LeanPub. But suddenly now one needs a login to get access to the documentation. That's bad -- they're public docs, and should be accessible anonymously and without extra overhead, the same as anything else in the project. Can this be fixed, either by changing settings at LeanPub, or by putting the PDFs somewhere under archesproject.org, like http://archesproject.org/documentation/ArchesInstallationGuide-1.0.pdf http://archesproject.org/documentation/ArchesUserGuide-1.0.pdf ? (The 1.0 might be different depending on what revision the doc is on at any given time, of course.) -K -- -- To post, send email to archesproject@googlegroups.com.

Re: [Arches] Need ideas list, etc for Google Summer of Code application.
Okay, I've submitted our application to be a mentoring organization for Google Summer of Code 2014. I compiled our ideas list from this thread and posted it here: http://archesproject.org/ideas/ Suggestions welcome, of course! Yiannis, when you get a chance, can you add it as an Ideas entry in the Get Involved dropdown menu? I couldn't figure out how to do that; maybe my login account doesn't have sufficient permissions to edit those menus, or maybe I just didn't know where to look.

[Arches] Arches applying to Google Summer of Code.
Hi, all. After talking with Alison Dalgity at GCI and Dennis Wuthrich at Farallon Geographics, we have a plan to apply for the Google Summer of Code program. If Arches is acccepted, Google will pay a student (or students) to spend a significant amount of time this summer improving Arches. Here's how it works in a nutshell: We (the Arches Project) apply as a mentoring organization. We'll come up with a list of summer-sized improvements each of which a student could plausibly accomplish. If we are accepted into GSoC, student applicants look at that list and apply to us to work on one or another of those problems. We accept one or more of those applicants, and then mentor them over the summer as they work. Google pays the mentoring organization a small fee per student, but pays the student significantly more -- actually enough to live on, unless the student lives in, say, San Francisco :-). So, next steps: 1. Dennis and the gang at Farallon are trawling through the bug tracker, the roadmap, and this list's archives, to find suitable items to propose for students to work on in the summer. (If you have ideas to suggest, please follow up in this thread!) 2. I'm doing the bureaucracy of applying to GSoC as a mentoring organization. Ideally the Arches Project itself can be the mentoring organization; if Google needs it to be a legal entity, then I guess we'll use either GCI or Farallon Geographics -- will cross that bridge if/when we come to it. Pretty soon there will be another step for us all: 3. When student applications open in early March, help us spread the word on campuses around the world! The more applicants we get, the higher the quality of the work done this summer. I'm in the midst of the organization application process right now, and will post back here when it's done.

Re: [Arches] Setting up Arches on CentOS Version 6.4
Following up to the earlier thread... Mario, if you would like professional help getting Arches set up for evaluation purposes, either on a local server or in a cloud server, my company offers that. Let me know; I'm happy to answer further questions here, or could chat by phone early next week if you want.
