Hi,
here a few questions about where to start contributing:
1. Which kind of duties or area of involvement should I take care of?
2. Which kind of accesses in FAS should I have to help out the team taking care
of drupal and aything else related to it? (as a note my FAS account name is:
'averi')
3. Which kind of work is needed and where? (e.g which kind of improvements
do we want and where? and what's the situation at the moment.)
Thanks in advance to anyone who will answer and happy hacking,
Hi Andrea,
I left you some ideas in a previous email. But here's a little more
to think about.
The Fedora Insight system will authenticate through the Fedora Account
System (FAS) like other Fedora services. I wrote and installed a
plugin for Drupal that allows groups in FAS to be mapped to roles
(RIDs) in Drupal, so we can have different access levels.
The testing instance at publictest4.fp.o/drupal is hooked to a "fake"
FAS instance at fakefas01.fp.o -- as noted on the front page of the
Insight test system: http://publictest4.fedoraproject.org/drupal/
So you need to make a *separate* account there. It's fine (maybe even
best) to use the same user name there. But you should use a different
passphrase because the security of FakeFAS is not guaranteed, although
I know the Infrastructure team has done their best as always.
Besides, having a different passphrase is a best practice in any case!
;-)
If possible, you should come to our meeting on Thursday as noted here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Insight#Meeting_agenda
We can talk about access toward the end of that meeting, and get you
into the appropriate groups on the FakeFAS system.
