07:45.21jrabbitIs there a way to "claim" a ticket to let others know you're wotking on it? or is it all handled via the individual project's bug trackers?
07:45.39timoteijrabbit: iirc, it's handled by gsoc's tracker :)

08:02.59Nightrosewonders if students can access http://www.google-melange.com/gci/task/list_org_tasks/google/gci2010/kde now
08:03.09timoteiI can list all tasks
08:03.20timoteihmm
08:03.24Nightrosetimotei: at that link? need to know if i can put that in a blogpost
08:03.26timoteiNightrose: but yeah. can't do that
08:03.32timoteiYou first need to sign up as an Org Admin or a Mentor.
08:03.33timotei:(
08:03.37jrabbitNightrose: 500 error :(
08:03.40Nightrosemeh
08:03.52Nightroseok can someone give me a link that can be viewed by students?

08:10.16jrabbitGAE is unhappy.
08:10.54dreimarkhow much students/mentors online ?

17:39.18dukeletoso i see that some students are trying to claim tasks, but no comment is given. Are others seeing this?
17:40.27DrJoeldukeleto: yep and that was why I asked why the student was interested.. then he/she withdrew the claim. :(
17:40.33dukeletoSRabbelier: how can I change the mentor of a task?
17:40.42dukeletoDrJoel: hmmm. That does not bode well.
17:41.08DrJoelno .. I wonder if something could be added to the top page giving hint about a "silent claim"
17:41.08dukeletoI don't even get a link to the students profiles that are trying to claim tickets? All I get is their name?
17:41.22dukeletoHow am I supposed to know if the student is a good fit?
17:41.32SRabbelierdukeleto: Use the "Edit this task" link
17:41.38SRabbelierdukeleto: of course, only works if the task hasn't been claimed yet

17:44.39dukeletoSRabbelier: done.
17:45.15dukeletoSRabbelier: i think it is also a very bad idea that students can do a claim request without sending any comment, as well as not having a profile that I can see
17:45.21dukeletoSRabbelier: where do I complain about that properly?
17:45.34SRabbelierdukeleto: create a http://tinyurl.com/new-issue for that I suppose
17:45.48dukeletoSRabbelier: do students have profiles?
17:45.54SRabbelierdukeleto: not neccesarily
17:45.56SRabbelierdukeleto: they'rem inors
17:46.06SRabbelierdukeleto: we can't give you a lot of info about them because of that
17:46.19SRabbelierdukeleto: until they complete their first task they only have a User profile (link_id + name)
17:46.30dukeletoSRabbelier: sure. I don't want to know their SSN. I want to know what they know about technology
17:47.01sfbdukeleto: I've run into that already too.
17:47.06SRabbelierdukeleto: understandable, that's what the comments are for I suppose
17:47.13sfbdukeleto: Thus ensued a comment exchange four times to get them on IRC to talk
17:47.28dukeletoSRabbelier: but the comments are not mandatory
17:47.44SRabbelierdukeleto: you can leave a comment, and not accept the request until they reply
17:48.32dukeletoSRabbelier: sure. But that is suboptimal. It creates a huge amount of work and back-and-forth for admins, to get info that should be there already
17:48.57SRabbelierdukeleto: put it in the task description?
17:49.17SRabbelierdukeleto: even if we make the comment field required, that doesn't solve the social issue

18:38.18kblinfair enough
18:38.57kblinso basically we just go and accept whoever wants to do something, and if they fail, tough luck, the task goes back to the "open" pool?
18:39.07carolskblin: yes. :-)
18:39.13kblinok, can do
18:39.32gevaertsSince it's a contest, pre-selecting based on perceived abilities could actually be seen as unfair
18:41.13kblinfair enough, why do we have the ability to reject then? :)
18:41.46JaneWellsi just hate setting kids up to fail. if there was a profile, if it looked like they didn't have the right experience level, they could be pointed to a more appropriate task that seemed like it would be more likely to be successful. i'm also thinking of the mentors' time, but i'm sure it will all work out
18:42.20gevaertskblin: excellent question :)
18:42.43carolsJaneWells: i don't think we're setting them up to fail if the descriptions on the tasks are detailed enough. also, if they don't feel confident to claim it they can choose to comment on it and talk to you about it instead of asking to claim it. if they feel ready to claim it, that's when they claim it
18:43.17sfbkblin: I've already had one student request to claim on of my unit test tasks. He had no experience so I suggested an alternative one - which was to just split up existing ones.
18:43.39JaneWellsi guess we've just been burned by gsoc students who claim they can do something and then totoally can't, but we're okay with being a little bit guinea pig here
18:44.28kblinJaneWells: but this is a contest.. if you do a sports contest all but the first (three?) are set up to fail...
18:44.38gevaertsJaneWells: we're not talking about three months of work here, so if something doesn't work, it's not *that* bad
18:44.51JaneWellsgevaerts: true
18:45.20kblinholy crapp.. I just realized that by editing the time the tasks could take, I'm automatically subscribed to all open tasks...
18:45.22JaneWellskblin: i don't see what you're saying about the first three, but its fine
18:45.23kblinwhoa
18:45.28kblinsets up a filter
18:45.49JaneWellswe just feel like we could support them better if we knew  a little bit about them and/or could contact them with follow info (most students in gsoc never go back to read comments)
18:45.49sfb??
18:45.58kblinJaneWells: if I go to a running competition, the fastest three get a medal
18:46.07kblineverybody else just fails

18:48.38timoteiJaneWells: I think you are right. There should be something like a profile, where kids put their "known" and unkown skills

21:02.05timoteiDrJoel: lol. I think everyone hates data entry :P
21:03.14DrJoeltimotei: agreed :D that's why I wrote a script to generate multiple tasks that were similar.  We had two "generic" tasks where one could have 20 instances and another ~95

21:06.19timoteiand yet, what we do in the task of translation -one-task-for-all-languages?
21:08.46DrJoelask them which language they want first.  If they intend for this to be a single language, they can change the name to XXX (French) or whatever.
21:08.48DrJoelSo ask them
21:09.11kblinthe students can change the task?
21:09.42SRabbelierkai: no
21:09.58kblinok, got me there for a moment :)
21:10.15DrJoelno.. but the project should be able to clarify/change it .. student can ask question

21:12.13kblintimotei: alternatively you can reject the task and open a new one in the correct language
21:15.29ArthurLiuwoah, 20 tasks claimed out already
21:15.43ArthurLiuthat is going to be fun
21:16.02timoteiArthurLiu: and about 60 in progress iirc
21:16.10timoteiI guess 200 are just too few
21:16.17timoteifor our hungry kids
21:16.19timoteilol
21:16.31ArthurLiuI totally underestimated the workload
21:16.47timotei:P
21:16.53ArthurLiuall the kids want me to respond "three hours ago"
21:16.57timoteihaha
21:17.00timoteiyeah
21:17.14gevaertsThen why don't you? :)
21:17.22timoteiI guess, there should be also an info box, to show mentor's timezone
21:17.25timoteior something like that
21:17.35kblinArthurLiu: tough luck for mine, I'm at a conference, I can only sneak a peek at emails once every couple of hours
21:19.18ArthurLiukblin: I just moved into my new apartment and don't have internet yet
21:19.24ArthurLiuI'm on my balcony

21:19.54c_schmitzyeah, it is called WiFi
21:20.07DrJoelsomeone else
21:20.20kblinc_schmitz: there's things like bridges and range extenders
21:20.50c_schmitzkblin, guess his neighbour hasn't heard abou it ;)
21:20.52kblinworst case, you put a computer with wireless ourside and run a cable

21:21.21DrJoelsomeone else's WiFi LOL
21:22.10ArthurLiuyeah, I bought 20m of USB cable and took a wifi dongle
21:22.13ArthurLiudongle doesn't work
21:22.21kblinDrJoel: so? I don't see a difference between borrowing wireless on your laptop or borroing wireless on a pc that then bridges for your laptop because it's damn cold outside
21:22.36kblinArthurLiu: ah, usb wifi and linux always is fun
21:22.43gevaertsArthurLiu: 20m USB cables aren't really supported...
21:22.51c_schmitz20m for USB is too long
21:22.54c_schmitzyeah
21:22.58Nightrosebounces about the first student submitting a patch and finishing his task
21:23.04kblinwhoa
21:23.05ArthurLiuyeah well, even directly on my laptop it doesn't work

21:25.34ArthurLiuNetgear WG111v2, doesn't even light up of show up in syslog, so tough luck
21:25.42kblingevaerts: he could simply get a warmer jacket ;)
21:26.11kblingevaerts: usb-powered heated underwear
21:26.16gevaertskblin: it's this typing with mittens that's annoying :)
21:26.43kblinget a speech recognition

23:40.35kstarYes, he's participating as a student.
23:40.49carolsthen sure, he's fine. he just can't mentor and be a student, he has to choose one
