IETF84 Code Sprint

The IETF 84 Code Sprint in Vanficouver will focus on enhancements to the current tracker, and on starting to use parts of the new database scheme. The Sprint will be run in the same way as the successful IETF77Sprint and IETF78Sprint where we completed and released a good number of individual enhancements.

If you plan to participate, please sign up on the IETF84SprintSignUp page.

This sprint will take place from 9:30 to 18:00 in the 4th floor Turner room. The coding will end 18:00 on the dot, with dinner and follow-up afterwards.

We have the mailing list "codesprints@ietf.org" to help with coordination and for use during the event. Please make sure you're subscribed before the event starts. More info on the list is available at https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/codesprints.

There is also a jabber room at codesprint@conference.resiprocate.org.

For information on setting up your environment, code checkout and commit, etc., see the SprintCoderSetup and SprintDatabase pages.

During the sprint, please update the two tables below; this helps both with coordination and with getting the code merged, released, and deployed :-)

See you in Vancouver!

This sprint's plan

  • Primary focus: Get aquainted with the new database models
  • Secondary: Add new functionality you've wanted to have in the datatracker, using the new database models.

Some areas that could use attention:

  • Make document search more flexible (add more complex conditions to advanced search)
  • Focus on the liaison management tools and reduce the large number of defects/enhancements listed there
  • Improve account management (making it easier to find where account management is (currently it's under New Account) marking which email addresses are active, finding the cookies)
  • Adjust the code/UI to handle managing shepherds/writeups for individual submission documents

Please fill in the following table when you've picked a task for the sprint. It's quite all right to pick and complete multiple tasks :-)
