svakshaSRabbelier: a quick note to say melange still throws an error while submitting the mentor form.04:46
svakshathis time its "Invalid characters, only A-z, 0-9, - and whitespace are allowed." in the street address field which i've not changed.04:46
kiko_svaksha: dont use dot or comma04:48

kiko_right now, the main mentor is quite busy, so im standing as a proxy to provie some answer to some questions to the task09:26
aviraldgkiko_: How many waves are there? ("infinite"?)09:27
aviraldgkiko_: Once the "base" number limit hits 17 ... what happens? Do you keep using the same pool of numbers?09:28

svakshaWhile trying to view the task list on melange, I get a script error "A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete. "09:37

svakshastopping the script does not help09:37
aviraldgsvaksha: for now the only "solution" is to use Google Chrome09:38
svakshaaviraldg: you get the same error on FF?09:38
* svaksha wonders if filing a bug would help09:38

madrazrsvaksha: aviraldg: to correct things10:06
madrazrwe are not "trying" to fix it10:06
aviraldgyou are fixing it, yes?10:06
madrazrwe are open to feedback from users as to how we can better enable their experience10:06
madrazraviraldg: people asked for a "List All Tasks" page during GCI Dry Run period and we have provided it10:07
madrazraviraldg: and with something like 700 or 800 or whatever number of active tasks, there is a large amount of data to be loaded to lists10:07
aviraldgmadrazr: uh ... sorry for putting it like that10:07
madrazrsvaksha: it may be relevant to you also ^10:07
svakshamadrazr: i've filed a bug 1024 for the most important (for me) bit <-- inability to accept a mentor notification10:07
aviraldgI remember SRabbelier (or someone else) posting something about trying to fix that10:07
aviraldgso I replied10:08
madrazraviraldg: yes, we had a conference call yesterday and had discussion about the same10:08
madrazraviraldg: we are open to feedback, if you have any suggestions, we are happy to listen to it and possibly if many people agree about that we will implement it10:08
svakshamadrazr: earlier folks  would be able to list tasks by org <-- maybe that would reduce the load10:09
madrazrsvaksha: you can still do that10:09
madrazrsvaksha: Click on "List of participating organizations" -> Go to individual Org10:10
aviraldgmadrazr: sure10:10
madrazrthe Organization home page lists all the tasks for the Organization10:10
svakshamadrazr: ok10:10
madrazrsvaksha: but this doesn't solve the prpblem10:10
svakshamadrazr: for me atleast it doesnt10:10
madrazrsvaksha: there are always students who don't care which Organization they want the task to be of, but want say task with "Moderate" difficulty level or lower which can be completed in 48 hours10:10
madrazrsvaksha: give me the URL10:11
svakshamadrazr: http://code.google.com/p/soc/issues/detail?id=1024&sort=priority&colspec=ID%20Priority%20Status%20Type%20Owner%20Milestone%20Effort%20Skills%20Summary10:11
tpb<http://ln-s.net/8-$g> (at code.google.com)10:11
madrazrsvaksha: you are confusing stuff?10:11
madrazrsvaksha: btw why would you want to have dots/commas in your address?10:11
madrazrsvaksha: I have an Indian address as well10:12
madrazrsvaksha: Room number so&so Such a hostel IIT-whichever PINCODE India10:12
madrazrsvaksha: I can write my address like that without comma10:12
svakshamadrazr: i cant give an address without commas (scroll up for kiko_ comments)10:12
madrazrsvaksha: the courier guy can still understand it10:12
aviraldgmadrazr: IIT :)10:12
*** tansell-laptop has joined #melange10:13
madrazrsvaksha: why not?10:13
svakshamadrazr: IIT is not all of india10:13
madrazrsvaksha: that was an example10:13
svakshaand i've not changed the address, so why is it suddenly rejecting10:13
madrazrsvaksha: do you want me to give my house address without comma and dots? :P10:13
aviraldgno ... I meant ... madrazr ... you're a student at IIT?10:13
svakshamadrazr: that is not the point10:14
madrazraviraldg: no I am Research staff at IIT Bombay10:14
aviraldgnice :)10:14
madrazrsvaksha: cool! the point is you can still give address without commas or dots right?10:14
aviraldgyeah10:14
aviraldgI entered my the "normal" way and it rejected it10:14
aviraldgso I entered it without the commas10:14
svakshamadrazr: the point is, its the same address (with commas) that i used during gsoc, not changed, so why is it rejecting?10:15
svakshathe commas have not been added now, so if it accepted it earlier, what is the problem in the system now?10:15
svakshamadrazr: it would be nicer if you checked why this new error cropped up10:16
madrazrsvaksha: because we changed our form validator10:17
madrazrsvaksha: If I remember correctly that is10:17
svakshamadrazr: exactly, so its not the users fault then10:17
madrazrsvaksha: I don't think so10:17
madrazrsvaksha: you can enter the address without commas for now, and become the mentor and help students10:18
madrazrsvaksha: SRabbelier knows exactly about cleaners and stuff, when he has time later during the day I am quite sure he will answer to issue 102410:18
madrazrsvaksha: s/cleaners/validators/10:18
madrazrsvaksha: you can always edit your mentor form and hence your address10:19
madrazraviraldg: cool!10:19
svakshamadrazr: i can enter another address (which would be useless) so my point being, i cant remove the commas as the address wont make sense to the person who delivers stuff. IIRC, the point of GCI/GSOC asking for address is for a purpose and that is lost if you have strict validators.10:20
svakshamadrazr: please do point SRabbelier to this discussion if you get a chance10:21
madrazrsvaksha: most of the validators other than those of common sense are not because Melange developers want it that way10:21
madrazrsvaksha: it is mostly because Google's shipping dept or some other dept want it that way10:21
aviraldgactually if you have a two line address (house number and street) then you shouldn't have a problem with removing the commas10:22
madrazrsvaksha: I still don't understand why removing comma won't make sense10:22
svakshamadrazr: i'm not aware of the details so i wont comment on those or the internals. However my point about the address being useless sans commas is a valid problem. It would be nicer if you (or someone else) understood this.10:22
* svaksha has to go now10:22
madrazrsvaksha: I am sorry, I really don't see it at all and hence don't understand. I have a very very long permanent address (Indian address), not of IIT. And if I remove commas it doesn't change much10:23
madrazrof course it looks a bit awkward to the postman/courier guy because we won't write it that way as convention in India10:24
madrazrbut they can still make out the address10:24
madrazrsvaksha: see you10:24
madrazrsvaksha: and it definitely doesn't make sense, if we provided you to enter commas and the courier company stripped those commas in the way they want and messed up your address10:25
svakshamadrazr: that isnt true for all parts of our country. I've had trouble with couriers who refuse to deliver packages if the address is written jumbled in a single or two lines.10:25
madrazrso it is much better you provide the address as best as possible10:25
svakshamadrazr: it would help if you could see others perspective. just because you have no problems does not mean its true for others10:26
svakshaaviraldg: in india, its usually a bit long, say, "opp...building name" "near...another landmark" etc..10:27
madrazrsvaksha: I agree your point here, but I am failing to see the problem here. I am failing to see, how will "just stripping out" commas change things10:27
svakshamadrazr: because it does not allow me to submit the form with commas.10:27
aviraldgmadrazr : can anyone work on the melange project?10:27
aviraldg(as in contribute patches)10:27
madrazraviraldg: why not? It is an open source project10:27
madrazrcontribute patches10:28
aviraldghmmm ... nice ... I can have a look then10:28
svakshaaviraldg: thanks :)10:28
madrazrsvaksha: anyways, we have reached a moot point now. I don't see much point in continuing further with this discussion. Issue 1024 exists. If Sverre thinks we can add it back we will10:28
madrazrsvaksha: it is left to his decision now10:28
madrazraviraldg: awesome! we will be happy to receive patches from you10:29
madrazr:)10:29
madrazraviraldg: more contributers, the merrier10:29
svakshamadrazr: yes, you refuse to see my perspective and that isnt helping the discussion10:29
madrazrsvaksha: sure10:29
* svaksha leaves10:29
madrazrsvaksha: see you10:29
aviraldgmadrazr: yeah10:30
madrazrsvaksha: I can tell you now, the code comment clearly says this field must comply with Google's character requirements for shipping. From the code "Clean method for cleaning a field that must comply with Google's character   requirements for shipping"10:33
madrazrSo this is a requirement from Google10:33
madrazrif we allow you to put commas also, it will be very likely stripped later10:33
madrazrand we don't want to give false impressions on Melange10:34
svakshamadrazr: will google know where to punctuate my address later?10:36
madrazrsvaksha: I don't know how to explain it to you10:37
fyskijYou have successfully completed this task. Sign up as a student before you proceed further.10:38
fyskijwhat means?10:38
aviraldgfyskij: click on the "Register As A Student" link in the sidebar10:39
aviraldgyou need to fill out some details10:39
svakshamadrazr: if you dont want commas, then increase the fields so people could provide the information google needs. to repeat myself, what works for one person may not be true for others.10:39
madrazrfyskij: It means you have to register on the site as a student10:40
svakshamadrazr: right now i have not changed anything in that form and yet it rejects it. how do you plan to solve this problem is what i'm interested in, not arguing about melange or gci10:40
madrazrfyskij: you must be able to see a Apply as a student link on your left hand sidebar10:41
fyskijmadrazr, ok thanks10:41
madrazrsvaksha: I don't know if we will solve this problem. If I were the one who was supposed to make the final call, I would have left it as is.10:42
madrazrsvaksha: But fortunately for you, there is Sverre or Carol. If they think we should make this thing possible, we will fix it for you10:42

svakshamadrazr: my short term goal is mentoring, not nitpicking melange development. But since it stops me from mentoring I had to file a bug. Just to be clear.10:44
madrazrsvaksha: sure, we are really happy that you filed a bug10:45
madrazrsvaksha: I am not telling anything against it, we love people filing bugs. It is the best way to get feedback and improve10:45
madrazrsvaksha: I was arguing about this only to know how things change for you10:45
svakshamadrazr: its the difference between a package/letter reaching and not. If Google didnt need that address for a purpose, they would not be asking ..right? Hence its my job to provide the correct addresss and do it right the first time, instead of bugging Carol later.10:47

dreimarkwhy can no mentors of moin suggest tasks11:23
dreimarkList of non-public tasks.11:23
dreimarkhttp://www.google-melange.com/gci/task/list_org_tasks/google/gci2010/moinmoin11:23

madrazrdreimark: I cannot view this page because I am not registered as mentor/org admin on your org11:24
madrazrdreimark: but I did not quite get the problem11:24
madrazrdreimark: if somebody has registered as mentor to your organization, he can suggest tasks11:24
dreimarkis it not needed to approve the mentorship?11:25
madrazrdreimark: it is11:25
madrazrdreimark: he is not a mentor until you approve the mentorship11:25
dreimarkyou mean if i add me to e.g. debian i immiadetly can add tasks? without any communication to them?11:27
* fyskij is away: I'm busy11:28
madrazrdreimark: you cannot add yourself as mentor without communication with the org admin11:30
madrazrdreimark: you have to apply to become a mentor, which the org admin accepts and sends you an invite11:30
madrazrdreimark: you have to accept the invite to fill up the mentor profile form on which you become the mentor11:30
madrazrdreimark: for Debian11:31
madrazrdreimark: you "must" go through this 3-way handshake11:31
madrazrdreimark: only then you can suggest tasks11:31
dreimarkis this verified?11:31
dreimarkbecause we require for becoming mentor approvment to talk to us on irc11:32

SRabbelierDrJoel: that's curious14:16
DrJoelthat's what I thought ..14:16
DrJoelFWIW he has a P4/2.6 Ghz computer with 768MB RAM.. Win XP and Firefox .. not awesome but should be good enough to do load the entire list of tasks.  It took FOREVER.. when it finally got through loading it, it was fine.14:18
*** robbyoconnor has quit IRC14:20
SRabbelierDrJoel: heh, okay14:20
SRabbelierDrJoel: for your pleasure: http://code.google.com/p/soc/issues/detail?id=102814:21
tpb<http://ln-s.net/8-AT> (at code.google.com)14:21
DrJoelWhat causes that?14:24
DrJoelis that our server 500 error?14:24
madrazrDrJoel: sloppy me :)14:28
DrJoelmadrazr: :(  it happens.. you guys are slinging code like mad (pun intended)14:33
madrazrDrJoel: heh that was a nice one :)14:35
madrazrDrJoel: thanks for understanding14:35
madrazrDrJoel: I think I have fixed that 500, but I am also on fixing the problem you had Wesnoth14:35
madrazrDrJoel: we will deploy the new release once that is fixed14:35
DrJoelthanks..14:51
DrJoelFWIW the "loading... loading..." does take a long time .. I don't know what can be done about it.  We use a FOSS tables.js for some sortable tables on test reports for RTEMS and they are amazingly faster http://www.rtems.org/ftp/pub/rtems/people/joel/coverage/erc32-O2pd-20101021-1831/uncovered.html14:52
tpb<http://ln-s.net/8-B9> (at www.rtems.org)14:52
SRabbelierDrJoel: it's not the JS that's slow14:56
SRabbelierDrJoel: just takes the server a while14:56
SRabbelierDrJoel: it's a lot of data :P14:56
aviraldgSRabbelier: why does it hang, then?14:57
SRabbelieraviraldg: ah, that _is_ a client side problem, I'll admit14:58
SRabbelierbut I somewhat doubt that tables.js will be that much faster with this much data14:58
aviraldg+ I was monitoring network traffic when the loading screen was shown and there was little to no traffic14:58
SRabbelierDrJoel: the rtems task is fixed15:08
SRabbelierDrJoel: and http://socghop.appspot.com/gci/org/home/google/gci2010/wesnoth no longer lists task that aren't available15:08
tpb<http://ln-s.net/8-BQ> (at socghop.appspot.com)15:08
DrJoelahhh.. that was the problem15:12
DrJoeland the 500 server error is fixed.  Thank you.  I will tell Jennifer it needs reviewing..15:13
DrJoelmaybe we have our second task completed15:13
DrJoelTask was for logo design.. check this out: http://img401.imageshack.us/i/rtemswhitebg.jpg/15:39

DrJoelmadrazr: :(16:14
madrazrDrJoel: I have tunnels :P I just enabled it. Seeing the logo now16:15
madrazrDrJoel: I am just amazed to know the power of small tasks and hence GCI16:15
madrazr:)16:15
DrJoelwhat do you think?16:16
DrJoelShe did a version on black and it would look awesome on a black t-shirt16:16
madrazrDrJoel: this is freaking awesome! RTEMS should make a call to change the logo with this one :P16:16
madrazrDrJoel: I just saw that too, on the task (because that was the one with error)16:16
madrazrDrJoel: the black one is much more awesome. It looks like fireworks in the dark sky.16:17
DrJoelI thought so too.  I asked her if she was willing to make a Christmas version of it.  If she is willing, it becomes a new task.  I think it would look cool with a Christmas them.16:17
madrazrDrJoel: ha ha you are clever ;-) Christmas coming close ...16:18
*** svaksha has quit IRC16:18

MatthewWilkesSRabbelier: The assigned mentor list on tasks, does that actually do anything?17:38
SRabbelierMatthewWilkes: it allows the mentor to change the status of the item17:38
SRabbeliers/item/task17:39
MatthewWilkesSRabbelier: So, every time I add a mentor I need to go through all the tasks and all them?17:39
SRabbelierMatthewWilkes: ... assuming you want all the mentors to be responsible for all the tasks... then yes?17:39
SRabbelierMatthewWilkes: the epxected workflow is that a mentor "owns" a task17:39
MatthewWilkesRight… so I can't just have a group of people that have access to accept requests and review work, I need to specifically add new ones as they sign up17:40
MatthewWilkesand if a task is missed out everyone is blocked until an admin comes along and adds a new mentor17:41
SRabbelierMatthewWilkes: each task has at least one mentor, so there should be no "blocking"17:41
MatthewWilkesSRabbelier: So, once it has a mentor assigned any mentor can edit it?17:42
SRabbelierMatthewWilkes: no, just the mentor that's assigned to it17:42
MatthewWilkesSo it is blocked until that mentor is back online/awake/etc17:42
SRabbelierMatthewWilkes: yes17:42
SRabbelierMatthewWilkes: sounds like you need a different kind of workflow17:42
MatthewWilkesSorry, I shouldn't have assumed it would be the same as last time17:43
MatthewWilkesif I had realised I wouldn't have assigned them all to me for expediency's sake17:43
SRabbelierMatthewWilkes: wait17:43
SRabbelierMatthewWilkes: looks like I'm wrong17:43
SRabbelierMatthewWilkes: apparently any mentor in your organization can change the task status17:43
MatthewWilkesthat's great news17:44
SRabbelierMatthewWilkes: sorry for the confusion :P17:44
* MatthewWilkes is dealing with "That's too confusing, can't you just email me?"17:44
SRabbelierMatthewWilkes: what is too confusing?17:45
MatthewWilkesthe melange site17:45
SRabbelierMatthewWilkes: It's not that hard :P17:45
MatthewWilkesMeh, it's annoying enough for me and I know it, I'm having difficulty getting people to step up, my problem, not yours17:46
SRabbelierMatthewWilkes: we'll be hiring EchoDitto to improve the GCI ui as well, but if you have any usability improvement suggestions now, more than welcome :)17:47
MatthewWilkesSRabbelier: Sure, ditch the jquery tables and use things that don't cause the page to jump around like crazy ;)17:48
SRabbelierMatthewWilkes: jump around?17:49
SRabbelierMatthewWilkes: any suggestions on how to present 500 entities to the user in such a way that they can search it, filter it, and sort it?17:49
MatthewWilkesthe tables load at different times after page load, causes you to be suddenly looking at the wrong table17:49
MatthewWilkesWeb pages shouldn't have the content area move around after load, we both know this, and we both know the reason you have to do it17:50
SRabbelierMatthewWilkes: we've contemplated not populating the lists till loading is done :P17:50
madrazrMatthewWilkes: SRabbelier: Just to make this discussion more lively, we all three know that we use Appengine :)17:51
* MatthewWilkes spits on the ground17:51
MatthewWilkesPoS tech ;)17:51
madrazrMatthewWilkes: Isn't that illegal? ;-)17:51
SRabbelierMatthewWilkes: it's actually scaling pretty nicely, we had a surge of traffic yesterday when the program started, and it didn't phase it17:52
MatthewWilkesSRabbelier: It's scaling nicely because you've had to write shitty unusable forms to get around its limitations17:52
SRabbelierMatthewWilkes: unusable forms?17:53
MatthewWilkeslike the view tasks list17:53
SRabbelierMatthewWilkes: would a SQL database handle a 500-row query fast enough?17:54
MatthewWilkesdude, I don't give a shit about the technical implementation here, you know I know what the problems are, but there ARE problems that you've had to work around which makes some bits of the webapp less than nice to use17:55
MatthewWilkesSorry, I'm a user today, not a casual contributor ;)17:56
SRabbelierMatthewWilkes: Sure, that's true, but our problem right now seems to be client-side performance more than GAE being slow17:56
MatthewWilkesSRabbelier: And the reason that's your problem is because you're using these datagrid things instead of a normal HTML UI17:57
MatthewWilkesbecause you can't use a normal UI, because GAE can't handle it17:57
SRabbelierMatthewWilkes: That wouldn't solve users wanting to sort though, would it?17:57
MatthewWilkesSRabbelier: Dude, you can sort on google code's issue tracker17:57
SRabbelierMatthewWilkes: although I guess you could do a "full" page refresh when changing the sort order17:57
MatthewWilkeslike almost every web app in the world ;)17:58
