 * Add a nullable display_name field to the User model, and allow users to edit it. Change User.get_full_name to return display_name as a first choice, falling back to email if it is None.

contributors.debian.org website development

See http://contributors.debian.org/ for the instance currently deployed. See also http://www.enricozini.org/2013/debian/debian-contributors-right-after-debconf/ for some background. The site is written with Django.

website TODO list

This website TODO list contains only those items that can clearly be worked on right now, and is used as coordination between the people working on the site. Generic wishlists, things that require large changes in the site, or things that need a lot of discussion before being implemented, are tracked on the BTS.

  • During maintenance, scan names from GECOS / LDAP and add them to missing first/last names in User.
  • The layout of the editing forms /sources/update/NAME can still be improved; errors should be laid out so they stand out, spacing is unnecessary.
  • Add an interface for people logged in to claim an email addresses, with a url being sent to that email address to confirm the claim. This needs a new model for pending claims, the code to send the mail and a view to accept the confirmations.
  • Add a new Source.data_since field to Source, ?DateField(null=True), which when present means that there are contributors from before that date, but data is only available since that date. When showing contributions, if c.since<=data_since then show "Since records began" instead of a date.

  • Identifier.get_absolute_url` with a page listing details about an identifier, like all known contributions.
  • Autodetect compression type from uploaded file name, if available. This allows to just use curl -F data=@file.json.gz without needing -F data_compression=gzip. Look into contributors/importer.py ValidatingDict.get_data: f is a Django ?UploadedFile object with a .name attribute.

Data sources

We want to map all kind of Debian contributions: to do this, we'll need different data sources to mine (repositories, mailing lists, bug tracking system, log of webservices, etc.). For each contribution, we only need:

  • $contributor_identifier: can be a name, a nickname, a mail address

  • $date: ideally, a time range is better ($start-date and $end-date for each contributions provided by the same person).

The addition of a new data source is quite easy, and not always requires coding skills.
You have to be a Debian Developer, though: if you are not one but you have a ready-to-cook recipe for a new data source, please contact the development mailing list and ask for help.
If you are a Debian Developer, check this page to find out how to add a new data source.

Is your team/contribution already in the following list? If not, add it and try to work on it (or at least provide a plan on how to gather those data).
