 _hc | Izzy: a while back the guy from https://kumi.systems offers to help fdroid with sysadmin/server stuff. Do you think you could talk to him about helping? | 15:26:14 |
| _hc | like I guess we have to vet him somehow | 15:26:32 |
| _hc | we need help running things like the forum, etc. | 15:26:41 |
| _hc | grote: jochensp about index-v2, it feels like we should start implementing what we have. Then we can get an idea of how much work the changes will be. | 15:27:54 |
| _hc | and I think we have something that's pretty close | 15:27:57 |
| _hc | or if you prefer, we can call it prototyping rather than implementing | 15:28:13 |
| _hc | but I mean code | 15:28:21 |

Once we are happy with the indev-2 draft, we should:
- ask more people for review
- go through the list of indev-v2 tickets and see if they are all addressed
- leaving a message in those tickets with a link to the draft
- check that we covered all fields from the old index
What happened to 👆️? | 15:29:18 |
| _hc | also | 15:29:55 |
| grote | To me it feels a tad early for code. | 15:29:55 |
| _hc | we need to have an idea of how much work it'll be to implement the changes we want | 15:30:15 |
| _hc | some ideas won't be worth it, if they are a lot of work to implement | 15:30:28 |
| _hc | the FFDW work is a lot more than just an index format | 15:31:02 |
| _hc | and fdroid has many burning needs | 15:31:09 |
| _hc | that will not be solved by the index-v2 | 15:31:18 |
| grote | Then why waste time implementing something that just started to take shape? | 15:31:47 |
| _hc | call it prototyping then | 15:32:12 |
 jochensp | also we discussed some more ideas in the meeting yesterday | 15:32:20 |
| _hc | grand design specs usually fail, especially when dealing with legacy code | 15:32:32 |
| jochensp | https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidclient/-/issues/2345 | 15:32:46 |
| _hc | sounds nice, but we need to work iteratively to survive | 15:34:12 |
| _hc | there is always index-v3. | 15:34:21 |
| _hc | we'll be better off to make sure index-v3 is easy to do than worry about making the perfect spec now | 15:34:45 |
| jochensp | from the server side I would be fine either way, guess it depends on how much work it would be in the client | 15:35:22 |
| _hc | our current spec already means big changes in fdroidserver | 15:35:52 |
| jochensp | which part do you see as problematic? | 15:36:30 |
| _hc | changing the internal representating | 15:36:43 |
| _hc | that will touch basically everything | 15:36:52 |
| _hc | which is like alarm bells when dealing with legacy code without the authors | 15:37:16 |
