You can create an account for yourself by registering at NCSA. Once the account is approved, you will have basic a= ccess rights, you can add bug reports to most projects, clone repositories.= Once you have an account you can use that to contact the admins of a proje= ct you are interested in joining on the project page (https://opensource.ncsa.illinois.edu/projects).
You can request a new project by sending an email to opensource@ncsa.illinois.edu. Please make sure you include the fo= llowing information:
All projects hosts on this serve= r are listed on the project page (https://opensource.ncsa.i= llinois.edu/). You can there select a single project and get more infor= mation about that project. You can also go directly to that page, for examp= le to get to the Brown Dog page (key is BD) you can go to https://opensource.ncsa.illinois.edu/projects/BD. Each p= roject will have a unique page that can be reached using the project key.= span>
Each project page will show you =
a short description of the project, status of the project and the people involved in the project, =
as well as links to services provided by NCSA Open Source as well as links =
to external pages. At the top the menubar has the following options. <=
/span>The Projects menu shows all o=
f the projects hosted a=
t this server. The Demo menu will give you quick access to any of the demo sites for each project.=
Services menu will show you all the services provided by NCSA Open Source. The About menu entry w=
ill show you informatio=
n about what version each of the services is. The last entry in the menu, either allows you to log=
in, or if you are logged in shows a link to crowd (where you can modify your personal information,=
such as name email and=
password) and a link that only shows those projects you are involved in.
There are 4 categories that people can be assigned to for each project:<= /p>
admin : allows you to modify project information in= project page, JIRA, Confluenc= e and stash.
developers : allows to check in code in Stash, can = be assigned tasks in JIRA and = edit pages in Confluence.
contributors : can be assigned tasks in JIRA and ed= it pages in Confluence.=
alumni : people that have worked on this project in= the past, no special privileg= es.
In confluence you can use the groups of people to limit access to specif= ic pages. For example you might want to have some internal pages= where you discuss new features. You can limit access to = those pages using the groups <KEY>-admin, <KEY&g= t;-dev, <KEY>, <KEY>-alumni, where <KEY> is replaced by&n= bsp;your project KEY (for example BD for BrownDog). Each proje= ct should have these four groups that they can use.
A project can be in one of the following three states:
active : the project is actively maintained. New fe= atures are constantly added, a= nd bugs are fixed.
supported : the project is no longer actively maint= ained, no new features, but bu= gs will be fixed.
archived : the project and its information will alw= ays be around, no new features= or bug fixes.
On the right you will see a bunch of links, not all of these links will&= nbsp;appear for each project:
external webpage : a link to a webpage describing t= he project outside of NCSA Ope= n Source
demo site : a link to an external site hosting a de= mo of the software (also shown in the Demo menu)
manual page : manual pages copied from the source (= send email to opensource@ncsa.illinois.edu for = information no how to set this up)
API pages : JavaDoc pages copied from the source&nb= sp;(send email to opensource@ncsa.illinois.edu = for information no how to set this up)
Confluence/JIRA/Stas= h/Bamboo/FishEye : links to project space in each of t= he services
Contact Admin : Allows any signed in user to send a= n email to admins of a project.
Downloads : any downloads available (send emai= l to opensource@ncsa.illinois.edu for informati= on no how to set this up)
For those people that are admins of the project you will also see an edi= t button, you can use this to = add and remove people from the project, and change any of the information shown on the project pag= e. Don=C2=B9t add/remove the links to Confluence/JIRA/Stash/Bamboo/FishEye as those require specia= l setup to enable them.= Any of the changes to the project page should be reflected immediately. Adding or remove people= from the groups can take up to 30 minutes to be reflected in the separate services.
Project artifacts can be either = stored in nexus (http://opensource.ncsa.illinois.edu/n= exus) or can be shown on the project page. You can attach a licens= e that the user needs agree to when downloading the files. All downloads ar= e tracked allowing the project to get an idea of what files are downloaded = and how often. Admins can see these statistics on the download page.=
The source code for the project = pages can be found at https://opensource.nc= sa.illinois.edu/stash/projects/ISDA/repos/opensource-projects, please feel free to make suggestions for im= provements of new features you would like to see added to the project pages= .
