  20. pep.

    jonas’, do you have a list of things you'd like to see done by editors, I'm thinking tooling mostly

  21. jonas’

    registry

  22. pep.

    Or infra

  23. jonas’

    registry

  24. pep.

    yeah registry

  25. jonas’

    xeps themselves are manageable

  26. jonas’

    it’s currently blocking on iteam

  27. jonas’

    AFAIK

  28. pep.

    I know, so it's not in my power really :/

  29. jonas’

    you can do editorial work on the registries

  30. jonas’

    like checking the content of the XMLs against the XEPs

  31. jonas’

    they haven’t been updated in at least three years

  32. pep.

    Ok so tooling for that would be a thing to do

  33. jonas’

    I don’t think you can do tooling for that

  34. jonas’

    but go ahead

  35. pep.

    Just curious

  36. jonas’

    one could try to scrape the registry submissions from the documents

  37. jonas’

    but that sounds error-prone

  38. pep.

    What else?

  39. jonas’

    do it manually

  40. pep.

    I mean what else could use tooling

  41. jonas’

    I don’t think one can create tooling for this which won’t fail silently or have lots of false positives

  42. jonas’

    I don’t know

  43. jonas’

    I’m happy with the current tooling

  44. pep.

    k

  45. jonas’

    except that I’d like to automate email sending, but that mostly requires infrastructure

  46. jonas’

    or faster build processes, but that also requires infrastructure

  47. jonas’

    I fix most pain points in the tooling myself

  48. jonas’

    I should proablby commit my scripts to create tags though

  49. jonas’

    there are a few nice-to-haves

  50. jonas’

    I guess

  51. jonas’

    like a bot which analyses new PRs and automatically assigns labels (ProtoXEP, Needs Council, Needs Author, Needs Board)

  52. pep.

    Yeah that's also something I wanted

  53. jonas’

    something which creates and maintains a todo list for editors, because it’s not always clear what needs to be done

  54. jonas’

    and my attempt at introducing Github Projects for that was shot down

  55. pep.

    yeah

  56. jonas’

    which is a shame, because they even got more automation for those nowadays

  57. pep.

    shot down by whom?

  58. jonas’

    someone from the Editor team

  59. jonas’

    check the commit history

  60. jonas’

    of README.md

  61. pep.

    ok

  62. pep.

    Well now that you're managing editors almost by yourself..

  63. pep.

    I'm not personally against it

  64. jonas’

    I also effectively was back then

  65. pep.

    That would tie us even more to github, but I don't see us moving any time soon as much as I would like it

  66. jonas’

    for what reason?

  67. pep.

    me wanting to move?

  68. jonas’

    yes

  69. pep.

    I had that clear in mind some time ago. I'd say one of the biggest reason now is because I'm generally not fond of big hubs

  70. jonas’

    we don’t have the resources to host our own.

  71. pep.

    I'm aware of that, which is why I'm saying I don't see us moving to that

  72. jonas’

    so there’s no reason to not make use of the platform we currently have

  73. pep.

    We agree

  74. jonas’

    right

  77. Kev

    jonas’: The XSF is in GSoC this year. I wonder if one could wrangle a XEP management platform as a project

  78. Kev

    The email automation thing I think can be done with 'moderate' ease (hours of coding rather than weeks), by recording the last-announced versions of everything and the current versions, and sending emails on container startup if they differ. But I'm not volunteering, I'm afraid.

  79. lnj has left

  80. pep.

    I don't think that's a good idea. GSoC takes quite some time for mentors if done properly, more than if we were to do it ourselves

  81. jonas’

    Kev, the email thing is essentially just a webhook and two lines of code. or one line of code if you do it on the XSF server which knows when stuff has happened either way.

  82. jonas’

    but frankly, email sending is least of my concernsn
