add some activity names to trac component list

[quozl]

Karthika Karunanithy who is leading a testing team in Sri Lanka has identified several activities that are not listed as components in trac.

Could these be reviewed and added please?

• Finance,
• Social Calc Activity,
• Distance,
• Words,
• Scratch,
• Stop Watch.

In addition I've identified the following activities missing:

• Wikipedia (not on ASLO),
• Get Books (might be known as GetInternetArchiveBooks),
• Help (might be known as XOHelp),
• Maze,
• Implode.

If any of these activities are not on activities.sugarlabs.org, or are not maintained by Sugar Labs, then I think they should not be added.

In the meanwhile, the Activity Team component may be used.

Reassigning to silbe as he's the one in charge of trac.

Quozl, if you havew time to help managing trac as well, we'd be happy to give you admin privs.

Who should the default assignees of the new components be? Do they already have Trac accounts?
FWIW, the catch-all for any activity that doesn't have a separate component is the "ActivityTeam" component. I'm aware the list of components is getting overwhelming and thus "ActivityTeam" is easy to overlook (and might need some better choice of name anyway), but adding another load of components doesn't help with that.
Maybe we need some kind of "guided" new ticket form / workflow like e.g. Gnome  is using. As Trac allows ticket fields to be passed as part of the URL, a simple set of wiki pages might suffice. Any help with that is appreciated.

Here are some notes that have bearing on this ticket.

Could these be reviewed and added please?

* Finance (owner: wadeb)
 http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/addon/4040
 http://git.sugarlabs.org/projects/finance

* Social Calc Activity has it's own bug tracker elsewhere.
See  http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/1538 for links to SocialCalc's hosting / bugtracker

* Distance (owner:bemasc)
 http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/addon/4264

hosted at OLPC, not Sugar labs
 http://dev.laptop.org/git/projects/acoustic-measure-activity/

Trac'ed at OLPC
 http://dev.laptop.org/query?&component=acoustic-measure-activity

* Words (owner: cjb)
Not in ASLO
 http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Words

hosted at OLPC, not Sugar Labs
 http://dev.laptop.org/~cjb/words/
 http://dev.laptop.org/git/users/cjb/words-activity/

* Scratch
 http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/addon/4249

Hosted on Scratch infrastructure (they also host their own translations)
Bug reporting to their forums
 http://scratch.mit.edu/forums/

Some Trac tickets at OLPC
 http://dev.laptop.org/query?component=scratch-activity

* Stop Watch (owner: bemasc)
Not on ASLO
Hosted at OLPC
 http://dev.laptop.org/git/activities/stopwatch/

In addition I've identified the following activities missing:
* Wikipedia (not on ASLO),
* Get Books (might be known as GetInternetArchiveBooks),

These are two separate activities (one derived from the other).

Get Internet Archive Books (owner: jdsimmons)
 http://git.sugarlabs.org/projects/get-internet-archive-books

Get Books (owner: Sayamindu, derived from GetIABooks)
 http://git.sugarlabs.org/projects/get-books

[cjl]

My take is that bugs should be filed where the developer will look for them (e.g. in the upstream bugtracker if available).

Finance, GetBooks and GetIABooks could legitimately get components in bugs.sl.o but the rest of them have their primary hosting elsewhere and that is where bugs belong.

Perhaps a distinct field can be created in ASLO pages to point users at the correct bugtracker.

Other than the three locally hosted activities listed above, the rest should probably be resolved as wontfix or notsugar.

[cjl]

add to this list Analyze activity

Hosted at:
 http://git.sugarlabs.org/projects/analyze

Owned by garycmartin

Already has tickets here that should be associated with the analyze-activity component

 http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/1618

Still has tickets in OLPC Trac that should be migrated or resolved. Having a component here would make that simpler.

[sascha_silbe]

Adding the mentioned authors to CC. I'll add a component for every activity where I get an explicit ACK from the author.

[cjl]

This is a complex multi-element ticket, much of which has been resolved in one way or anothr.

GetInternetArchiveBooks, Help, Maze, Analyze components exist now (fixed).

SocialCalc Activity use component SEETA (fixed).

Distance, Words, Scratch, StopWatch are hosted / Trac'ed elsewhere (wontfix).

Punting on wikipedia, file a new ticket for that, if needed (wontfix).

Filed new ticket #2648 for Finance and Implode (to keep these elements open).

Create Trac component for Finance, owner wadeb
 http://git.sugarlabs.org/~wadeb

Create Trac component for Implode, owner ~jcl
 http://git.sugarlabs.org/~jcl

That covers all the listed activities, closing this ticket as fixed.
