Hi there, thanks for your suggestion to prepare the content we could work on during slackathon 2017.
Let me chime in with some thoughts: First of all -- for all of you who can't attend slackathon in person, but still would like to support the outcome somehow, I encourage you to adjust your schedule to spent some time online on Sep 2-3 during the event, so with your support the output could even be bigger, Second, one goal of the slackathon is also to streamline the project landscape of suckless.org, which also means we should presumably define 3-4 clusters that will be addressed during the event and identify all areas that are well established and don't need much care during the slackathon. In particular I would see the following clusters: i) improvements to suckless.org and our general project setup (switch to quark, stagit, static swerc, git://, streamline all projects, drop drop-candidates, etc) ii) improvements to the system tool landscape with a focus on probably the static-izing ld wrapper (stali, 9base, sbase, ubase) iii) focus on totally new stuff like the issue tracking, Silvans patchwork idea or mail archiver iv) looking into wayland adoption or similar of our UI focused tools as a rapid prototype With this in mind I would mill through your list as follows: On 23 July 2017 at 14:39, Silvan Jegen <s.je...@gmail.com> wrote: Out-of-scope ideas: > * Suckless font rendering library > * Improve sltar > * Write cookie handler for surf > * Gopher services > * A sane backend for surf > * A VGA/DVI/Displayport-to-TTY cable In-scope ideas: > * Write ld wrapper or replacement for static linking > * Write a decent bug and issue tracking system > * Write a decent mailing list Web archive system Out-of-scope projects: > * blind > * dwm > * st > * surf > * dmenu > * farbfeld > * ii > * sent > * slock > * tabbed > * lsw > * sprop > * sselp > * swarp > * wmname > * xssstate > * libzahl > * svkbd > * vis? > * svc > * morpheus init scripts > * oasis? [0] In-scope projects > * 9base > * nldev > * sbase > * sdhcp > * sinit > * smdev > * stali > * ubase > * quark > * swerc Potential drop candidates: > * sandy Personally I tend towards the clusters i) (50%) and iv) (40%) to spend time on, and perhaps providing some guidance on the ld-wrapper idea (10%).
