I've almost reached a state where I wouldn't be ashamed of sharing the code so I looked into my options of free hosting.
It seems I only have one option for publishing the code:
- Request a project on code.haskell.org.
I could only find one option for a "homepage" for the project: - Create a page on the Wiki.
There seems to be no option when it comes to tracking bugs. :-(
I could also not locate any option for publishing haddock pages. :-(
We'd like community.haskell.org to be usable for all of this, it just needs someone to ask us for something, and then us to get around to setting it up.
Currently source repos go on code.haskell.org.
We could perhaps have web pages on projects.haskell.org, and some sort of bug tracker on bugs.haskell.org (or perhaps trac.haskell.org etc). Would it be better to make things consistent for users, and have all projects use trac (or something else), or for each project to be able to easily use the bug tracker of their choice?
It sounds like things are moving in a good direction. I have some suggestions on what is currently there: 1. Make sure that requesting an account via the web form works. I was met with a 500 when I tried a few days ago. (I reported it and [rt.haskell.org #92] is the ticket ID.) 2. Make the flow more explicit. It isn't clear that one needs an account before requesting the creation of a project. It doesn't have to be enforced in code on the site, just a bit of text would be enough. My thoughts: - Offer as few options as possible, ideally just offer one. Trac is a good example of something that's good enough. It combines homepage, documentation, bug tracking and VC inspection in one tool. The main reason for offering just one option: minimise the burden administration (I'm assuming administrators are volunteers). Secondary reason: consistency for users. - Have one instance of trac¹ on trac.haskell.org per project. - Have one entry point that is separate from trac.haskell.org. I think this is what Hackage is supposed to be. /M ¹ I'm just using trac and trac.haskell.org as examples without really saying that's what should be used. -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus．therning＠gmail．com http://therning.org/magnus
