Re: [IPT] Request to be added as commiter

Dear Shiraaz, Thank you for your interest in the IPT and willingness to contribute. It would be fantastic to have external contributions. Like many open source projects, the way in which we would like to operate is to have contributors submit a patch, which would be reviewed by a committer. Following some successful patches, the contributer would be welcomed as a committer. As a fairly immature project, we don't yet have a large pool of contributers, so it is an exciting time to get involved early. The IPT is very lacking in unit test coverage as you mention and is highlighted in sonar[1]. Increasing the unit test coverage would be a good way to really help improve the project, and learn the code structure. We have just set up a review system[2] as well, which allows easier review of patches. I would recommend offering a patch there and we can review it. Does this help to get started? Many thanks again for your interest, Tim [1] http://sonar.gbif.org/dashboard/index/1498 [2] http://reviews.gbif.org On Jul 12, 2011, at 2:14 PM, Shiraaz Moollatjie wrote: > Hi, > > I am totally new to the open source development world and I noticed > the gbif-providertoolkit which seems interesting to me.

Invitation to collaborate in the translation of the IPT user interface into Spanish

Dear friends of the IPT list, Please find below an invitation to collaborate in the translation of the IPT interface into Spanish. Cheers Alberto --------- Estimados amigos, Como muchos/as de ustedes saben, la nueva versión de la herramienta integrada de publicación de datos IPT (Integrated Publishing Toolkit) se publicó a principios de este año, y recientemente hemos celebrado un taller de formación en Copenhague donde 20 profesionales recibieron formación avanzada sobre la herramienta. Para hacer esta herramienta clave más accesible al público hispano hablante, sería muy útil disponer de la interfaz de usuario en Español. Uno de los desarrolladores de la herramienta en Colombia (Héctor Tobón) está interesado en comenzar este trabajo pero necesitaría algo de ayuda, sobre todo para traducir algunos términos más complejos, como los que se utilizan para describir los metadatos. Nos gustaría contar con su colaboración para realizar esta tarea. Por favor, si alguno/a de ustedes está interesado/a en participar en este pequeño proyecto, por favor contacte con nosotros a través de la red de idioma Español del Sitio de la Comunidad de GBIF (http://community.gbif.org/pg/groups/5947/red-de-idiomas-espaol/) o póngase en contacto con nosotros a través de la dirección training(a)gbif.org. ¡Gracias por adelantado! ---------- Alberto GONZÁLEZ TALAVÁN Senior Programme Officer for Training Global Biodiversity Information Facility Secretariat Universitetsparken 15 DK-2100 Copenhagen, Denmark email: <mailto:atalavan@gbif.org> atalavan(a)gbif.org web: http://www.gbif.org/ http://community.gbif.org/pg/profile/atalavan T: +45 35 32 14 83 F: +45 35 32 14 80
