barry[TOPIC] mentoring update15:04
MootBotNew Topic:  mentoring update15:04
barryi think it's fantastic that leonardr graduated and that now all coders are reviewers.  i want to keep this item on the agenda for when wgrant applies for mentat status :)15:05
gary_poster:-)15:05
barryany other comments on mentoring before i move on?15:05
barry[TOPIC] peanut gallery15:06
MootBotNew Topic:  peanut gallery15:06
intellectronicaperhaps just to remind that a similar program is now going on with ui reviews15:06
barryintellectronica: right!  thanks.  to the extent that we can share wisdom or there's overlap it might be good to have a summary of those meetings over here15:06
barryintellectronica: would you like to be the bridge between the two groups, at least until i get mentored over there? <wink>15:07
gary_posterthere's a move afoot (in the softarch CoP) to try and get a company-wide guideline for reviews.  I pointed them to our stuff.  Some of it needs to be transferred from the old-old wiki, not just the old wiki!15:07
intellectronicasure15:07
barryintellectronica: thanks15:07
barrygary_poster: yes, +1  i think we need to give that as an action for someone.  does anybody want to volunteer?15:08
barryi will do it then :)15:08
gary_posterI'll probably volunteer next week if nobody does this week :-)15:08
gary_posteroh ok, nm ;-)15:08
barrycurses!15:09
gary_posterlol15:09
barrygary_poster: maybe we can both take an action on that?15:09
gary_posteractually I had that written and was just waiting to see someone else volunteer ;-)15:09
gary_postersure15:09

barry[TOPIC] agenda23:32
MootBotNew Topic:  agenda23:32
barry;)23:32
barrywell it was a very short ameu meeting, so to summarize...23:33
barryintellectronica is going to keep these teams abreast of what happens in the new ui reviewer meetings23:33
barryat least until i s/mentat/reviewer/23:33
barrygary_poster and /me will work on transferring review guidelines from the old old wiki and old wiki to the new wiki23:34
barrythat's about it23:34
barrywe don't really have any action items, so let me open things up to y'all23:34
rockstarTo be honest, I think we should actually have a section lead by the UI reviewers in the reviewer meetings, instead of the super sekrit phone call.23:34
barrywhat's been going on and what's on your mind?23:34
rockstarThat way, we can involve the community more.23:35
gary_poster[peanut gallery] rockstar: +1 in theory23:35
barryrockstar: i'd be in favor of that23:35
rockstargary_poster, why not in practice?23:35
gary_poster(in theory simply because I haven't thought about the practicalities too much)23:35
rockstargary_poster, yeah, but I think having that interaction between UI reviewers should be a bit more public.  I think the phone call should be for keeping the teams up to date with other UI matters.23:36
rockstarAlso, another thing that came up in a review with thumper yesterday.23:37
rockstarIn the new views, we have to implement a page_title attribute.  Sometimes this is a function.23:37
rockstarIn generic edit views, we also need a label attribute, which can also be an @property23:38
rockstarDo those two functions need docstrings?  We often don't include them in initialize and other functions that need implementing, unless there is a specific reason.23:38
thumperbarry: also worth noting there is a new lp/app/templates/generic-edit.pt that should suit most general editing needs23:39
barryrockstar: the way to think about it is if/when we get sphinx output for api docs. would the docstring help?23:39
thumperbarry: the docstring would be the same every time23:39
thumperbarry: the label is rendered as the h123:39
rockstarbarry, in this case, no, because in thumper's branch, all the docstrings were the same.  That's why I had him remove them.23:39
thumperbarry: and the page_title is the html title for the page23:39
* rockstar will let thumper talk about generic-edit.pt23:40
barrywell, another way to think about it is that when they /are/ just attributes they won't have docstrings23:40
barryi think we can play those by ear.  i.e. let the dev and reviewer decide23:41
thumperI'm +1 on not having docstrings for label and page_title properties23:41
barryi wouldn't say they /can't/ but i agree they don't need to23:41
barrythumper: tell me about generic-edit.py23:41
thumperbarry: a new very simple template23:42
thumperbarry: new 3.0 style23:42
thumperbarry: just renders the form23:42
thumperbarry: so the view has page_title, label, and other bits23:42
barryfrom the object's schema?23:42
thumperbarry: refer to the generic-edit.pt (not py)23:42
barrys/py/pt/23:42
barry;)23:42
rockstarlp/app/templates/generic-edit.pt23:42
thumperbarry: I found there were many similar edit pages in code23:43
thumperbarry: and sinzui also had many in registry23:43
barrycool.  i'll add this to the summary so other reviewers are on the lookout for when we can use it23:43
rockstarAnd me in answers.23:43
thumperbarry: there are no bugs in no code (or pages)23:43
rockstarYes, so we remove templates.23:43
barrywhich is always good!23:43
thumperthat's all I think23:44
barry[ACTION] reviewers should watch for opportunities to remove custom templates in favor of generic-edit.pt23:44
MootBotACTION received:  reviewers should watch for opportunities to remove custom templates in favor of generic-edit.pt23:44
barrythumper: thanks.  rockstar or wgrant anything from you?23:45
barrywgrant how have things gone with the branches you've submitted?23:45
rockstarbarry, maybe I should start coming to the AsiaPac meetings instead of the early morning one for me.  :)23:45
thumperbarry: then we could have almost all the code team at one23:46
barryrockstar: they go quicker that's for sure, though this one has already gone longer than the ameu one this morning :)23:46
barryseriously: +123:46
barryabentley too?23:46
barryit wouldn't be a bad time for him23:46
wgrantbarry: It has gone pretty well.23:47
rockstarWait, that might not be good.  Next you'll round the code team up in camps and experiment on us.23:47
wgrantAlthough it's sometimes awkward to find Soyuz people around, it's been fairly quick and painless.23:47
barrywgrant: great!  i'm really psyched to see you blazing the trail23:48
thumperbarry: nah, abentley will probably still go to the other one23:48
wgrant... although ec2test for contributors would be nice.23:48
thumperbarry: this would be too late in his evening23:48
barrywgrant: +123:48
rockstarwgrant, +123:48
barrythumper: it's only 6:30pm for us23:48
thumperbarry: :)23:48
barry'sup to him of course23:48
