00:01.45 maths22 By the way, I just upgraded cmake on the server (we can hope the segfaults go away...)

00:19.48 maths22 It is indeed fixed!

02:10.15 Lord_kk Hi guys :) I am in need of some help with this google-melangetask (https://www.google-melange.com/gci/task/view/google/gci2014/5310294628761600). I have already created a 512x512 image with the requirements, but have no idea as to how to turn it into a bw image. I couldn’t find the png-bw command, and whenever I input the manual code it tells me that “joinbrlcad/binpix-bw” is a bad option. Any help with this?
02:10.16 gcibot [[ Beginner: Install and run BRL-CAD! #17 || BRL-CAD || Claimed (2 days 21 hrs 12 min) || Kesha Shah, Ishwerdas ]]
02:13.14 Lord_kk My mistake, after having gone over the code, it seems that I kept forgetting a space after exec, but now it still gives me an error which is “pix-bw: can’t open ‘hello.png’”

02:36.54 nmz787 hi!
02:37.10 nmz787 anyone know why mged would stop responding to keyboard input?
02:42.33 Lord_kk this sounds really stupid, but have you tried closing it completly then re-opening it?
02:45.24 andromeda-galaxy nmz787: just to check, on Linux at least, the tcl windows used by mged seem to sometimes lose focus if the mouse cursor isn't over the text entry area...
02:50.03 nmz787 I closed the window with alt-f4, but since I launched it from the cmd prompt, I went to that terminal but mged didn't quit (so the terminal wasn't back to the prompt)... so then I did killall mged
02:50.17 nmz787 and after starting again it started to happen again
02:56.54 nmz787 is there something that is both comprehensive but also succint, like this but much more to the point? http://brlcad.org/VolumeII-Introduction_to_MGED.pdf

19:51.55 albertcoder Are you known to Semantic MediaWiki?
19:52.25 brlcad nope
19:52.49 albertcoder Whenever I ask for some help regarding Materials Database on #mediawiki
19:53.00 albertcoder they point me to semantic mediawiki
19:53.14 albertcoder They highly recommend using it
19:53.52 albertcoder I discussed with them about the requirements and features of materials database extension
19:54.27 albertcoder and they are horribly serious that I should use semantic mediawiki for that . :P
19:56.26 albertcoder I too explored it. It is really cool for storing key:value stuff like we have property:value system in our extension

20:11.09 albertcoder Sure!
20:11.16 maths22 brlcad: hi
20:11.29 maths22 DId you see my documentation browser a few days ago?
20:11.29 brlcad structurally, I todon't think it matters much if it's mediawiki or not, but it's a good philosophical fit
20:11.47 brlcad maths22: i am WAY behind on IRC.... so probably not
20:11.59 maths22 OK
20:12.07 maths22 http://brlcad.org/docbrowser/svnDocbook/Documents/browse/doc/docbook/
20:13.05 albertcoder okay brlcad I will let you know shortly if SMW can be of any help.
20:13.39 brlcad albertcoder: I think the importance of mediawiki is a little conflated
20:14.17 brlcad we definitely want interactive documentation, but there's not as compelling justification to force benchmark and materialsdb to use it
20:14.29 brlcad they could just as well be custom infrastructure if it worked
20:14.58 brlcad at this point, I think it's more important that it's infrastructure that is taken to some useful completion, put into production use and made available to users (integrated in with our tools)
20:14.59 maths22 brlcad: I actually created this documentation browser with the goal of developing it into a documentation editor
20:16.15 brlcad maths22: that's pretty interesting
20:16.29 brlcad what's the infrastructure?
20:16.39 brlcad something you wrote or based on something?
20:16.52 maths22 I wrote it
20:17.04 albertcoder okay so what I can sense is that for now I need to work down the way we were going. brlcad
20:17.33 maths22 It pulls from svn the list of files in a directoriy, and if they have an xml extension, it offers a link to render them with docbook
20:18.00 brlcad albertcoder: yes! and that will heavily depend on your interests and motivation (within some constraints)
20:18.37 maths22 Ex: http://brlcad.org/docbrowser/svnDocbook/Documents/browse/doc/docbook/books/en/HACKING_BRL-CAD.xml?render=1
20:18.39 brlcad e.g., creating a big java infrastructure would probably be a last resort as that's rather heavy to set up and doesn't play well with our other services as easily as some other options
20:18.56 brlcad albertcoder: what's the current code look like?
20:19.20 brlcad maths22: is it rendering them on the fly or caching or something?
20:19.29 maths22 Right now, rendering on the fly
20:19.49 albertcoder brlcad: look like means? coding standards?
20:19.54 maths22 That's why it is so slow
20:20.01 maths22 It also was written in a couple hours, so caching is the next step
20:20.29 maths22 Probably by using a local svn checkout

20:23.03 albertcoder features / capabilities? of current code /extension?
20:23.48 brlcad albertcoder: I mean if you had to draw a picture of what the code looks like, an architecture diagram, what might it look like?
20:24.00 brlcad a 2D picture ... not words :)
20:24.22 brlcad e.g., is it a mediawiki plugin that takes inputs and writes them to it's own sql db?
20:24.38 brlcad it's been months since I looked at the code
20:24.42 albertcoder absolutely
20:25.13 albertcoder yeah it stores the user inputs and stores them in db
20:25.36 Ch3ck brlcad: is there any way of synchronizing svn and git repositories
20:25.37 brlcad and the interface?
20:25.45 brlcad Ch3ck: yes and no
20:25.55 Ch3ck is wondering why BRL-CAD is not yet on github
20:26.08 brlcad Ch3ck: all our web projects are on github
20:26.10 Ch3ck thinks a github repo is need
20:26.23 albertcoder brlcad: I meant it stores the user inputs in the tables created by the extension
20:26.35 Ch3ck brlcad: i am talking of the core itself
20:26.35 brlcad https://github.com/BRL-CAD
20:28.07 brlcad Ch3ck: that is a matter of benefits vs tradeoffs with the current view strongly favoring a centralized model where developer interactions are intentionally coordinated and participation is consistent
20:28.39 brlcad moving to github wouldn't change most of our social and coding requirements
20:28.58 brlcad the main (only?) technical benefit would be offline commits and more advanced branch merging
20:29.21 brlcad but the social / management changes would be quite complicated
20:30.24 brlcad moreover, the distributed model is rather antisocial to development communities that aim to coordinate and communicate work (requisite, not optional)
20:31.02 Ch3ck i see
20:31.06 brlcad opt-in vs opt-out of social requirements (svn is opt-out, git is opt-in)
20:31.10 Ch3ck that makes sense
20:31.48 brlcad I would like the social discussion features that github provides, being able to comment on changes interactively
20:32.04 brlcad but that actually has nothing to do with git or distributed scm itself
20:32.28 brlcad we could have the same thing set up with a couple other tools like reviewboard or the atlassian tool
20:32.46 brlcad albertcoder: so what are your thoughts on MV and SMV?
20:33.26 brlcad maths22: how in the world are you going to approach editing?:)
20:34.29 MarcTannous hey Sean :D
20:34.44 brlcad maths22: did you see that interface from a couple months ago that I mentioned being a possible round-trip solution to our docs?
20:34.48 brlcad MarcTannous: hi!
20:34.55 brlcad brb
20:37.50 albertcoder Well, so far MW is concerned we had to do a chunk of work manually, I mean categorizing, searching, browsing, sharing (import / export) and almost everything done till now. I feel there some better (as recommended by many MediaWikians) STANDARD way of doing this all using a particular tool (SMW) which is developed to solve such problems.
20:38.49 albertcoder and brlcad I feel it^^ can serve far better.
20:39.41 maths22 brlcad: no. What was it?
20:49.00 brlcad albertcoder: perhaps but if it's done, it's done right? :) what's the benefit now?
20:54.04 brlcad maths22: hmmm.... I'll have to check but I believe it was Atlassian Confluence
20:54.41 brlcad it supports docbook export quite strongly and there's a docbook import plugin too ... there was just a question of whether we can round-trip using those two
20:55.22 brlcad if that'll work, that'd be potentially "done" and a first
20:55.55 brlcad the export plugin even supports setting up stylesheets and managing them for different outputs
20:56.20 brlcad https://www.k15t.com/software/scroll-docbook-exporter
20:56.51 albertcoder brlcad: yeah it is done (except import / export needs to be improved which I am working on). I was just sharing the words of widsom I received from #mediawiki. ;-)
20:56.55 brlcad and http://confluence.atlassian.com/ obviously :)
20:57.38 brlcad albertcoder: well I trust your judgement to sort out what direction is best with that project, you know it best
20:57.58 MarcTannous brlcad
20:58.01 brlcad albertcoder: from my quick reading the past hour, it's basically just a set of extensions to mediawiki, so if that helps .. great ;)
20:58.29 albertcoder brlcad: :)
20:58.31 MarcTannous I know you probably have a lot going on, just want to ask a quick question : any new task batch coming soon or should I just go ahead and claim+learn some Doxygen?
20:59.06 brlcad albertcoder: the two critical pieces from my point of view are going to be 1) how easy it is to browse materials, 2) how easy it is to download material data, and 3) how easy it is to download/import/use material data in our tools
21:00.05 brlcad and maybe 4) how easy it is to add/extend/update materials but that really is secondary to the first three
21:00.16 brlcad MarcTannous: 'yes' :)
21:00.36 MarcTannous yes to both questions? :)
21:00.54 brlcad intentionally been letting the list get weened down so people take on some of the slightly harder tasks
21:01.05 brlcad but yes, many more are coming
21:01.11 brlcad and yes, you shouldn't wait for them ;)
21:01.18 MarcTannous at the moment it's pretty much beginner tasks only
21:01.43 MarcTannous also, shouldn't tasks that are pretty much "unsolvable" be removed (i.e. "Remove a failing unit test")
21:02.48 MarcTannous As far as I know all the failing unit tests have been fixed
21:03.21 albertcoder brlcad: so far 1) 2) and 4) are pretty easy whereas importing / using material data in our tools is an area to be looked upon. ;)
21:03.24 brlcad MarcTannous: probably but those could also be to implement a unit test missing or improve an existing test
21:03.54 brlcad there is plenty untested API in libbu
21:04.15 brlcad albertcoder: #3 was predominantly completed by mihaineacsu
21:04.25 brlcad so we have to make sure the two can talk to each other ;)
21:05.22 albertcoder alright for that we two will also have to talk to each other ;)
21:06.44 albertcoder It's about 3am here so I'll talk to mihaineacsu about this tommorow. Night! brlcad
21:06.45 brlcad would probably help to check out his code and learn how to run our tools that use material data (rtweight and/or gqa) see how they work
21:06.53 brlcad albertcoder: see you!
21:08.38 maths22 brlcad: while I'm requesting confluence to try it out, should I also request JIRA?
21:08.49 maths22 We get it free as an open source org
21:08.50 MarcTannous brlcad: What do you think is the best task to claim so that I can get started with Doxygen?
21:28.50 Ch3ck goes to sleep *zzzzzzz

23:15.42 starseeker MarcTannous: there are failing unit tests on Windows..
23:16.49 starseeker MarcTannous: there is an *immense* amount of Doxygen work to be done
23:17.17 starseeker eventuallly that generated output is supposed to be the primary guide to our libraries for programmers
23:18.02 starseeker so learning how to do it is a *good thing*
