📚 Documentation: Mistake in code snippets in getting started guide

[FloLan1]

💭 Description

The code snippet for creating a user in the getting started guide throws an error due to an invalide phone number. This:

result = users.create('[USER_ID]', '[email protected]', 'password')

should be changed to:

result = users.create(ID.unique(), email = '[email protected]', phone = '+123456789', password = 'password', name = 'user1')

Hi @Haimantika , if the previous contributor is unresponsive, I would like to work on this issue then please assign it to me later on. Thanks!

[aniketh-varma]

Hi @Haimantika, just to confirm, if this is the file to be updated. Then the PR I would create would be for the appwrite repo and not the current sdk-for-python repo. Am I correct on this?

[GuptaPratik02]

Hi @Haimantika, there is NO update/changes seen from previous assignee in this issue since 4-5 days? Can you assign it to me? I will be quick and make a PR soon!

Yes! @aniketh-varma we are reassigning the issue to the next person due to inactivity from your end. @GuptaPratik02 the issue is yours now

[GuptaPratik02]

Thanks @Haimantika, will update you by today!

[Gilbishkosma]

hi @Haimantika , @stnguyen90 you can assign it to me incase @GuptaPratik02 is not able to finish it.

1. First change I made in this repository's README file - Pull request 1
2. Second change I made in appwrite repository's Getting_Started file - Pull request 2

Kindly check and review my PR. Thank you!

@Haimantika I was waiting for your reply on the query I had asked, the confusion being an issue for the appwrite repository was raised in this sdk-for-python repository. I have been participating in Hacktoberfests since 2019 and haven't seen such practices of reassignments in other projects to which I have contributed. This puts pressure on the assignee and defeats the entire purpose of Hacktoberfest, which is to encourage more contributions. Being a part of the contributor team of Appwrite since 2020 (the first time Appwrite had taken part in Hacktoberfest), I did not expect this, and reassigning issues without any confirmation from the current assignee is very wrong. I have been assigned many issues in other projects and I am given ample time to solve the issues without any 'deadline' pressure :)

With that much of experience, you should have read the appwrite rules on contributing during hacktoberfest brother... they clearly stated 3 days of inactivity could roll over issue to others. Atleast you could've opened a draft PR if it was taking time

Thanks for the advice man. I appreciate Appwrite for abiding by the rules, but a simple confirmation before re-assigning the issue would be more courteous to the current assignee and would confirm the inactivity on the issue. I don't know if you've contributed to other projects, but the assignees are not pressurised to complete the issues within specific deadlines, threatening to roll over the issue to somebody else without confirming. For this issue, a draft PR would be the equivalent of a normal PR :)

Hi @Haimantika, can you acknowledge once that pull request I made is assigned to a maintainer to review?

Hi @aniketh-varma apologies if you feel this way, that wasn't the intention at all. We wanted to give a fair chance to everyone to contribute. Since in the past we have had cases where people didn't work on an issue and others didn't get a chance to work on it either. I did react a thumbs-up on your query, I perhaps should have also dropped a message, and I apologise for that. We didn't want to put a deadline, we just wanted an update every 3 days. :)

Hey @Haimantika, I completely understand, that tracking the repos' issues, that too during the Hacktoberfest is a tedious task, and I really appreciate that Appwrite is abiding by the rules. I was just not happy about the reassignment of the issue without any confirmation from my end. There is no need for an apology, you are doing your work, I would just want to suggest, maybe a comment confirming the activity on an inactive issue may be a better alternative than just re-assigning. Thanks! 😄
