Like many free and open source projects, darcs is running on spare time and pure enthusiasm. We need your help! Here are the roles which we are currently filling and that we would like to fill. Review team ----------- Maintainer ~~~~~~~~~~ - Jobs: - Ensure that incoming patches are reviewed and apply them to the darcs repository if appropriate - See `MaintainerTips `_ for details - filled by: `EricKow `_ Reviewers ~~~~~~~~~ We hope to grow the review team over time. Members of the team will be asked to review patches on a regular basis. The advantages of serving on the team are that you will learn way through the darcs code very quickly. Please feel free to add yourself to the team! It just means I'll make of point of asking you to review certain patches. - `EricKow `_ - `DmitryKurochkin `_ - `TrentBuck `_ (GNU make, bash and user documentation) To reactivate later ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - `PetrRockai `_ (busy) - `JasonDagit `_ (busy with thesis; type witnesses and patch theory mainly but not exclusively) See `ReviewerTips `_ for help Managers -------- Release manager ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - Jobs - Perform releases according to a fixed schedule (right now, every 6 months) - Release announcements - Write `ChangeLog `_ entries - See `ReleaseManagement `_ for help - filled by: `PetrRockai `_ Issue manager ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - Jobs - Ensure bug-tracker is triaged: `http://bugs.darcs.net `_ - Review bug-tracker on regular basis - Co-ordinate with release manager - filled by: `ThorkilNaur `_ Documentation manager ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - Jobs - FAQ maintainance - wiki gardening - tutorials and docs - filled by: nobody (help wanted!)
