The yunity heartbeat - what has each team done, what are they doing and what do they need help with.

Foodsharing.de Development.

Done

The foodsharing.de development is reopened! To keep track of what is going on in that regard visit the new foodsharing devblog.
For direct answers to pressing questions like 'What?! Why?! How?!" read this blog entry written by Matthias Larisch. Also taken from that blog post are these already completed achievements:

Having a development environment that is checked out, setup and running with 3 commands (using docker/docker compose)
Integration of Codeception for Acceptance, API and Unit tests
Local execution of all tests
Automated execution of tests in a CI system (Gitlab CI) for every push
Acceptance tests for a very little selection of pages, more to come
Open issue tracker to include the community in bug reporting and feature discussion
Having one contributor working on feature development
Having three contributors working on fixing (security) issues and refactoring the code

Some days later Matthias Larisch was motivated to move the wiki, Mumble and the media database on a new server to fix some security issues present before. More about this can be read in this blog post.

In Progress

Most of the time is now spent to make contribution as easy as possible. That will include refactoring, means touching almost every single line of code in the code base (approx. 50000 of them are there). We made the decision to slowly move in some core components of symfony and hopefully end up with a workable, fully tested code base that can be deployed from a continuous integration system automatically when a core contributor approves the changes. Having the platform open sourced is a strong wish from most contributors as it fits the vision of sharing.

Foodsaving Tool.

Done

Created an open chatroom, linked in the README of the GitHub repository, bridged it to the Slack channel

Included more functionality & code structure:

Picker for groups in navigation bar
Added translation support, language picker in navigation bar
Unified templates for main pages (e.g. group, store) and splash pages (login, signup)
Signup & login page in directive-free style, using ng-click
Convention for partials (components which are using inside pages) - they now start with an underscore (_)

In Progress

Started discussing features on a product level - look at the current questions here and contribute your ideas! (E.g. should users be required to enter first/last name, do we need a feature for trial pickups, how do we prevent abuse of powers)

Planning the foodsaving tool. Started collecting user requirements in a written way - currently only Taiwan, more hopefully coming soon.

Looking for a logo! Need to answer the basic questions: "What is the message we want to communicate? Which emotion do we want to effect?"
Proposals:

Post your ideas in GitHub or in Slack in #foodsaving-tool-plan!

Foodsaving worldwide.

Done
