Feel free to add a link on the main whimsy page, re-order columns, capitalize headings, etc.
I also forgot to mention that it is my intent to make the roster tool fully read/write over time... people with the appropriate permissions should be able to make updates from these pages. The ability to edit the SpamAssassin score, and to add/remove committers are just an examples of what possibilities are there. So there may be other read-only views out there. The phone book is an example. I'm personally skeptical of it's functionality to do cross-checks. Not that it duplicates functionality that has been present for a long time in the roster tool (that's fine with me, after all, it has a different target audience). But that it tells the wrong audience (the general public) this information, and does not provide the means to correct it. - Sam Ruby On Mon, Feb 29, 2016 at 5:13 PM, sebb <seb...@gmail.com> wrote: > On 29 February 2016 at 21:56, Sam Ruby <ru...@intertwingly.net> wrote: >> On Mon, Feb 29, 2016 at 4:40 PM, sebb <seb...@gmail.com> wrote: >>> On 29 February 2016 at 21:37, sebb <seb...@gmail.com> wrote: >>>> Main page lists a link for: >>>> >>>> https://whimsy.apache.org/incubator/podlings/by-age >>>> >>>> This lists 50 PPMCs >>>> >>>> https://whimsy.apache.org/roster lists >> >> How did you get to this page? > > I typed it in, because it's not linked from the main page. > Perhaps it should be added above the list of its sub-pages? > >> It should have a trailing slash.
