This is certainly the case for anything mobile and special projects (offline) related. Since its a fairly new team the majority of its members are either part time contractors or are new and operating mostly on their own; this gives us a good challenge of on boarding new engineers for code review & deployment I'm really eager to fix the latter. We currently have good documentation from Roan and others at http://wikitech.wikimedia.org/view/How_to_deploy_code and we'll have a much better eco system when het deploy is out. For those of you that actively deploy code .. do we have enough documentation for someone new to learn the system? If not .. what key pieces are missing? Feel free to grab me on irc if you want to dive into this deeply or if your just curious. Internally i've watched/supported our engineers becoming more familiar with our deployment system and i'm eager to have more who are comfortable with this from both staff and the volunteer community. --tomasz _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
