Hello,
Huggle is an open source anti-vandalism tool for MediaWiki based
sites. See
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Huggle for more.
We are in desperate need for more release managers - eg. people who
manage releases of huggle for following platforms:
* MS Windows (currently getting all stable releases and even some beta
releases) - more beta releases needed
* MacOS (currently getting some stable releases only) - stable and
beta releases needed
* Linux Ubuntu (currently getting all stable releases) - beta releases needed
* Linux Debian (currently not getting any releases) - both needed
Nightly builds for all platforms would be cool. (I can do that for
ubuntu only right now, using wikimedia labs).
Requirements:
* Heavily trusted thorough wikimedia project (release managers make
binary packages of huggle which are then installed on hundreds of
computers by our users - we need to make sure they will not contain
any viruses, malware or corrupt builds that would compromise
credentials of users).
* Intermediate knowledge of programming
* Ability to compile C++ source code for one or more of those platforms
* Ability to create standard packages for one or more of those
platforms (NSI for windows, DMG for MacOS, DEB for linux)
* Intermediate knowledge of git
If you meet those ^ and want to help us with the development of
huggle, please let us know! For beginning you would be responsible for
packaging of beta versions, so there is not much to break :) so if you
don't feel confident in any of required areas, don't worry.
NOTE: Huggle is open source project - we are all volunteers and this
is not a job offer for a paid position. So please, don't send me CV's
etc (it actually happened once to me when I sent a similar mail in
past). If you would like to help us with this task - just reply to
this thread, or send me a private mail.
Many thanks on behalf of huggle team :)
