Orion/Orion -Work with contributors
- Student: Edyta Przymus
- Mentors: Szymon Brandys
This project is part of the Google Summer of Code 2012
Goal
Orion is the open source project and it needs some features that would facilitate cooperation with contributors from outside of Eclipse. Today, there is a couple of tools used to provide this cooperation (Bugzilla, GitHub, OrionHub) and the process of reviewing and validating changes is time-consuming for Eclipse commiters. The improvements in this area could affect in the positive way the Orion's development's dynamics.
General plan
The plan for this project is to cover all Orion's community's demands connected with topic "cooperation with contributors". At the current stage of project there is a need to improve set of Orion's grease monkey scripts that allows cloning repositories into Orion. The brand new script that would provide further integration of Bugzilla and OrionHub is also planned.
Apart of main topic of the project I offer my support to various smaller tasks chosen by my mentors.

Summary
The biggest aspect of completing tasks from these project was creating new Orion page - Contribution Review Request. About its features you can read on the following Eclipsepedia page:Review Request. Together with tool to send notification about commit it provides easy to use set of features to review changes made by contributors.
Some minor tasks are not completely solved yet, but I declare, I will finish what I started.
