HowToContribute
The success of free software highly depends on people using it. We are looking for people interested in actively improve this community site.
I'm interesting in participating. What can I do ?
- You may write documentation, faq, HowTo using this wiki.
- You may share your tools, scripts, configuration in our subversion repository.
- You may improve, expand or correct the work of other contributors.
What do I need to start ?
- Time ;-)
- An account in our trac system.
To get an account, simply write an email to wiki-admin@….
Please provide
- your full name,
- your email address,
- the institution/company you are working for (optional),
- your preferred account name,
- and if you like so, a short sentence on your motivation.
- We keep this information disclosed.
HowTo write wiki documentation pages ?
- Move to the head page of the User contributed documentation and add a link to your yet nonexisting page.
Please choose a sensible name
An example could be :* [wiki:share/dCacheAndSolaris Running] dCache pools on Solaris.
- Submit the changes, and follow the link, trac will ask you if a new page should be created.
- Please add all your pages underneath the share directory. This simplifies our work.
- Make sure you add your name somewhere (not necessary you e-mail address).
- In the TracGuide you will find information about the trac wiki syntax.
HowTo upload software ?
- Checkout the contributed part of our public subversion repository
svn checkout http://trac.dcache.org/svn/contributed/
- Create for a new project a directory under trunk
mkdir contributed/trunk/saveMYdCache/
- Copy all your project files in the directory
- check in all your updates
svn add contributed/trunk/saveMYdCache/ svn commit
- Add a link and a description under ContributedCode (see the above section for the wiki information). If the description is more than one paragraph you should create a new page and link this too.
