Congrats, and welcome to our jollyband :-). (Hopefully you're all excited about this too! If you'vechanged your mind or something... now would be a good time to let usknow.)So, what happens next?I know at least some of you still have exams to do and
such, and won'tbe able to start for real for another few weeks or so. There are afew things that would be good to do now, though, say within the nextfew days: -- subscribe to the monotone-devel mailing list, if you haven't already:http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/monotone-devel -- start hanging out in the #monotone IRC channel, on the OFTC network (irc.oftc.net). -- send a message introducing yourself to the mailing list (monotone-devel@nongnu.org) including at least: -- some sort of brief introduction of who you are -- your email address and IRC nickname -- your rough schedule (especially start data and end date) -- some sort of description of what you're planning to do (some of us read your app, some didn't, all are curious and may have suggestions) -- some idea of what you're going to do _first_; the order you
tackle things in can matter a lotOnce you get started, we'll expect weekly reports to the list on whatyou did last week and what you plan to do next week, just to make sureit's clear what's going on. Let's say, umm... on Tuesdays. Sure.(Unless there are objections.)If you have any questions, feel free to ask me (you'll find I usuallyhave _some_ sort of opinion on things...), or the mailing list, oryour official mentor, who is: Timothy Brownawell, Zachary Weinberg: me, Nathaniel Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Bjorn De Middelaer: Matthew "kinetik" Gregan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cheah Zi Bin: me again for now, but that's because of some weirdnessin making the SoC web app work; once Google fixes things on theirend then either Richard Levitte <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or StefanBuehler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> will be the mentor-of-record.These people are your official points of contact, but we're a
prettyinformal group, without any official chain of command or anything.Don't feel like they're the only ones you can talk to. Mostcommunication happens either on the mailing list or on IRC. HelpfulURLs: Mailing list archives:http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.monotone.devel IRC logs:http://colabti.de/irclogger/irclogger_logs/monotone Wiki (often used for working out designs and general scratch space):http://venge.net/monotone/wiki Monotone manual:http://venge.net/monotone/docsEspecially, we're happy to help if you have trouble getting started --don't be embarrassed, there's always a hump to get over there inworking out how things basically work... just ask. We can answerquestions on IRC, give suggestions on "warm up" tasks, etc.There, that should be enough to get us going. This should be fun :-).Cheers,-- Nathaniel-- Damn the Solar
System. Bad light; planets too distant; pestered withcomets; feeble contrivance; could make a better one myself. -- Lord Jeffrey
