Tracking uncommitted but impending contributions

Open AsliRoy opened this issue 6 years ago • 9 comments

I am currently preparing the branch for Compiler Design, so just wanted to let the users know, so that there is no confusion. I think this issue can be used to declare upcoming work, until a time, that the repo is no longer in active development. What say @AB1908

That's a good idea for now. I'll add this to the contributing guidelines. Meanwhile, I've cooked up a few other ideas as well:

  • In your fork, you could make a commit modifying the readme where you'd add the topic and label it as upcoming with your GitHub handle and create a pull request for that. As soon as I merge that PR, everyone gets a heads up about what's coming up and who's contributing it!
  • Fork and create a pull request immediately with the appropriate label. I'll include in the readme to check PRs for upcoming content.

I'm leaning more towards the latter than the former, because that way we get to make all relevant commits to a topic in a single merge. We'll have no extraneous commits for just declaring the topic. This is partially because of my bias towards nice commit messages, for example this. Any other suggestions?

I felt an itch to dive into it just a few hours ago. Thanks for the heads up.

Seems good. Also, the compiler design branch along will be added in a short while. I ran into some other work, so haven't been able to complete.

No problem. I'm busy as well, so I've only been creating branches and making minimal changes.

I guess we are almost done with courses until the 6th sem. There.s just DBMS left? I'll take care of it, if you haven't started yet, @AB1908

I have already created a branch. You can continue from there.

Seems like my branch was local and I hadn't pushed the changes. I'm working on it now anyway, so let me know if you want to do it.

@AB1908 , got a couple of hours free at night. It shouldn't take too long anyway. So its your call. Anyway, if you have progressed significantly, its better that you push your commits, and if I have to suggest any changes, I'll PR the changes later.

@AsliRoy: Sure thing. Make sure you start from https://github.com/AB1908/CS-Books/blob/database-management-systems/Curriculum.md/#database-management-systems. I had started it.
