How to deal with GSoC code contributions (was: GSoC disambiguation
project, any news? (was: GSoC project accepted))
Hi,
Extracted the rather admin related section about how to handle code of
GSoC projects

A lot of questions indeed and this was probably also the reason for the
current - very pragmatic - solution.
I will try to answer them in this mail.
> Why not in Stanbol's repository?
Because in the Apache SVN only committers can write and working with
patches seamed to be impractical for a first iteration.
Is there a better way to handle GSoC projects on Apache infrastructure?

I just required Kritarth to put the code on a public repository and to
use the Apache License. I think I mentioned google code and github as
possibilities.
For me the used repository seams rather unimportant for the first iteration.

Yes this is possible by configuring the Email Service Hook for a
Repository. Can be configured in the Admin section of the repository
under the Hook section.
So it should be possible to send push notifications from github.com to
the "stanbol-commits@incubator.apache.org". I am not sure if the
stanbol-commits list needs to be configured to accept those mails. If
I understood it correctly Github will use the mail address of the user
that pushed changes as sender. So I assume if
"kritarth.anand@gmail.com" joins the stanbol-commits list it should
work.

I have not mentioned iCLA (http://www.apache.org/licenses/icla.txt)
yet. But this would make definitely sense before contributing the
Disambiguation Engine(s) to Apache.

Hi Kritarth,
based on this discussion I ask you to have a look at the following two things
(1) can you please set up email notifications for
https://github.com/kritarthanand/Disambiguation-Stanbol
to
stanbol-commits@incubator.apache.org
as described blow. I can not do it for you as only you can
administrate your own repository.

For more information why this is required and how it works please see

Some projects have created @apache.org accounts in the past for their
students, and asked for them to be disabled after GSoC if the student
isn't elected as a committer. AFAIK that's still possible (and a good
additional incentive for the student to become a committer ;-)

Right, but if would have been cool to discuss this here, I don't
remember seeing this.

A moderator can accept the first moderation message with "reply all"
so that future ones don't need to be moderated in.
Could you setup those notifications? That would IMO be a first step
towards making Kritarth's work more visible here.

Please do, and IMO the earlier that engine is contributed the better.
Sorry if I sounded a bit harsh if my comments, but I think the GSoC
midterm evaluation that's happening these days is a great opportunity
to bring this project back on track community-wise, and start making
it happen inside the Stanbol community instead of alongside it - that
makes all the difference.
Thanks very much for your work as a mentor, and thanks to Kritarth as well!
