#Friendica needs new contributors!
I'm not used to do this, but with the large influx of new users and node admins recently coming from #Twitter, our small team is now behind the curve for handling support requests, bug reports and bring about much-needed features.
The project is built on a #PHP / #MySQL platform, but we also need people to be able to assist others just using the software to give developers some space.
If you're willing and able to help, please follow @Friendica Support and the project on Github: https://github.com/friendica/friendica
Thank you!

Als Antwort auf Hypolite Petovan • • •What can they do in the Friendica project? :thinking face:
My technical background is that I have been writing some web applications for the company since about 2000 with PHP (from version 3), mySQL/MariaDB and Postgres. I also use JavaScript and HTML, and since version 2.x Smarty as a template engine.
In addition, I used to write scripts with Perl and now 99.9% with Python. :smiling face with smiling eyes:
Version management used to be in Subversion and since GIT has been around, only in GIT, but since Github was taken over by Microsoft, I don't use the service anymore, I host it myself first with Gogs and then with Gitea. :thinking face:

Als Antwort auf Hypolite Petovan • • •Thank you very much,
these are all interesting areas, but I see this is all going towards Github and having to set up an account there. (This is a noGo as long as Microsoft owns it).
I'll have a look at the wiki (there's also a gitea linked, but that's probably not actively used anymore or?) and especially the forum, if I can help there.
Thank you for the quick answer and the collection of information.

Als Antwort auf Hypolite Petovan • • •It is a pity that this process has not gone further. Many of the large projects have turned their backs on Github for the same reasons.
Thus, it would probably also be time to set a sign here and if an own system is already available, then this is even easier.
Of course, I can not say how difficult it is to move the messages and then take over, or whether you have to make a cut, etc..

It is difficult to weigh that of course, what it brings but I must say, for me and I refer now 100% to my ideas and not to the project set the data protection very high. For this reason, I also use as a messenger, for example, no Whatsapp but only Threema, Signal or Matrix.
But that's another topic and not this one.

Als Antwort auf 👤 𝟳𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘀 ✅🖖🔒 • • •For the upstream branch, I don't see any impediments anymore. It's fully merged to Woodpecker as CI/CD and most of the time, it's working fine
For the Docker images, it's really hard currently. Because I use a "standard" CI/CD action script/binaries from the Docker maintainers themself and they hardly relay on Github. Currently it's not possible to automatically test the Docker images. And as "official" and "best practice" Docker image, as Friendica is part of, we need a github repository to relay on (but we could make a "mirror" repo, so that's not a real issue :) )

Als Antwort auf Hypolite Petovan • • •If you are developing locally you could get a dyndns domain or something that points to your home router.
This then simply reverse proxy to your local system should actually be an idea for this.
Of course easier if you do the development via SFTP on your server and you also exclude any other bugs.

Als Antwort auf Hypolite Petovan • • •/etc/hoststo point to my local machine. Then in a/etc/apache2/sites-available/friendica.confI setup a virtual host on that host name and even setup a self-signed SSL certificate so I can run #Friendica locally. To be able to receive mails locally, as I have #Linux running here, I had to a bit patch Friendica to disable a regex check on the entered email address. Now when I want to locally federate with e.g. #GNUSocial I just have to repeat above steps and I remember I was able to setup "remote" follow between these two local instances. For Windows users, there is #WinAMP around for a very long time, including #Mercury mail server so you could be able to repeat it even on Windows.Friendica Support hat dies geteilt.

Does a kind of Kanban board exist for tasks that are pending or would that perhaps be a solution for development and the tasks that are currently being completed or should still be developed?
In my office, we have had relatively good experiences with this - for example, we have Taiga running here.

Als Antwort auf Hypolite Petovan • • •well - I thought maybe there is something like a visual structuring here and you can see who is working on which tasks. We have something like that at work, so we can do sprints and see who is working on which problem, new function and which bugs.
This allows us to move them from release to release and prioritize or categorize them accordingly.
But also if it takes longer or certain dependencies still needs us to write under tasks.

Als Antwort auf Hypolite Petovan • • •Well, it's a pity that there aren't more people here who can or want to contribute more time to the project.
Basically, it's a really great idea that you can host Friendica like, for example, a Wordpress. So the number of servers should actually be higher than they are currently due to this possibility.
But of course the code part is very complex and probably needs to be cleaned up and improved at one point or another.
So it is clear to me that this cannot be achieved due to the small number of heads, that one makes a big cut as I had suggested one time or another.
My goal would be to understand the code more and maybe start with a small junior point, but if something like that isn't really on the agenda and it's better not to experiment with the code, then that's the way it is.

The last thing I did was porting the application I wrote at that time from PHP5 to PHP7, but that is some 6 or 7 years back, too. Since then I didn't write a single line of code in PHP anymore.

Als Antwort auf Hypolite Petovan • • •I don't want to say that again, that the code base is very complex. I rather thought that you can not only win people over for the code here, but that there are some tasks, as you have already listed.
I have to say I've looked at the code quite a few times and I haven't really gotten through what works where, how and why the way it works. Although I do daily development with my own applications based on PHP.
If I were to join at some point, I see the junior jobs as a starting point, as you have often described, and then ideally as an encapsulated development without any problems that can arise with the core.
Start slowly and feel your way and not from 0 to 100 and then cause chaos all over the core. Because it's always such a thing with self-developed applications where you can already understand the workflow in your head and in contrast to other developed software that still evokes many dark corners in your head.

That's why I understand your post and I think I'll hold back there, also to motivate people here, to screw the code base is not trivial and only people who have been doing this for a long time should do it. Because a broken Friendica is of no use to anyone.

Also, I'm generally at my best dealing with complex interactions, front-backend interaction, algorithms, data structures, that sort of stuff. (And refactoring tech debt and complex code into something more readable, but maybe that's not the best place to start an unfamiliar language.) I'm terrible at infra, configurations, and fancy CSS. Just in case you have an issue that would be a good fit for that. But I don't mind picking up something else.
