Some sections of the Lumiera website document meeting minutes, discussion protocols and design proposals from the early days of the project; these pages were initially authored in the »Moin Moin Wiki« operated by Cehteh on pipapo.org at that time; this wiki backed the first publications of the »Cinelerra-3« initiative, which turned into the Lumiera project eventually. Some years later, those pages were transliterated into Asciidoc semi-automatically, resulting in a lot of broken markup and links. This is a long standing maintenance problem problem plaguing the Lumiera website, since those breakages cause a lot of warnings and flood the logs of any linkchecker run.

Skills Collection
|
|
-----------------
|
|
Make a page where people can tell in which areas they are willing to support
|
|
others.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Description
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
Some Page should list different things needed for working on the project and
|
|
users should attach themself when they offer support for it. This is meant that
|
|
people who run into problems know who to ask. In contrast this is not meant
|
|
like these Skill pages on Sourceforge or such. I don't like this rating and
|
|
posing system. We let people assign themself to skill and not skills to people
|
|
and there is no rating.
|
|
|
|
Skills shall be anything which is needed like the tools we use, the code we
|
|
create etc.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

Question: __shall this contain emails?__
|
|
|
|
|
|
Tasks
|
|
^^^^^
|
|
* just set this page up ... +
|
|
either on this wiki or in a TiddlyWiki which
|
|
becomes checked into the repo
|
|
|
|
|
|
Pros
|
|
^^^^
|
|
* inter developer support and help network
|
|
|
|
|
|
Cons
|
|
^^^^
|
|
* privacy concerns, people might not publish what they know or, even more,
|
|
what they _do not_ know
|
|
|
|
|
|
Alternatives
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
...urgs 😶
|
|
|
|
|
|
Rationale
|
|
~~~~~~~~~
|
|
This only announces where people offer support within the lumiera developer
|
|
community and is absolutely voluntary.

[underline]#Historical remark#: This RfC stems from the very first days of the »Cinelerra-3 movment«,
|
|
which turned into the Lumiera project over the course of the following months. The RfC was already
|
|
marked as __parked__ when first imported into the Lumiera Documentation in 2010. Early in 2008 however,
|
|
at the link:{ldoc}/devel/meeting_summary/2008-03-06.html#_draft_skills_collection[March developer meeting],
|
|
it was discussed shortly and deemed ``...only useful if there are more developers working on the project''.
|
|
|
|
Reading this RfC today gives me some kind of peculiar melancholic feeling -- it has the vibes of »zero hour«,
|
|
when all hands on deck are needed and everyone wants to help; people write their names on a blackboard
|
|
at the wayside, to get into contact, organise themselves or just to find their beloved ones...
