I'm a big fan of the github approach to casual commits. Being able to comment on pull requests and have a wrangler accept and decline things is brilliant. Also: tracking forks is really nice.

So we did some straw polling on IRC during condor-week on the topic of hosting. I re:posed the question to the community (proxy willb) if they think we would have better exposure, and involvement, if we were to host on github. There were a couple of trade-offs, but in general, it seemed positive.

I think this topic is worthy of further discussion (lowering the barrier to entry).

Cheers,

Please make the 'Condor WIKI' a top level heading on the Condor home

page. I did not notice the link.

[SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

I was originally going to send this directly to Todd, but in the

interest of openness I'll post to the list.

It seems like a recurring theme this year has been improving

community involvement in Condor. I've had a few suggestions come to

mind:

* The wiki has two audiences: developers and users/administrators. It

would be nice if there was some separation in the content. It

doesn't necessarily require separate wiki instances, but just a

clear delineation.

* The recipes are a great resource, but it would be good if there was

a page for people to request recipes. Some things that may seem

obvious to people who have used Condor for years may not be so

obvious to newcomers. I created a wish-list page[0] in the wiki and

put a link at the top of the Recipes page.

* Along the same lines, would a wish list for Condor features be

helpful? Sure, people could file tickets, but would a wiki page be

more approachable?

* The IRC channel may be a more useful to the community if there was

an IRC applet somewhere on the Condor site.

I think I had more ideas, but it's the end of Condor Week and my

thinkerator is tired. Hopefully this prompts suggestions from

others.
