See Roundtable Meetings for a detailed description.
Topics
First hour, quick topics
- Tiki security releases: News and status
- Should we consider supporting Fontawesome Pro?
- Questions: 1) Would that be philosophically compatible with an open source project? 2) Does "support" mean include in the Tiki package and use it in the interface, etc.? 3) Does the pro license allow freely distributing the pro icons? Seems like maybe not. From https://fontawesome.com/plans: "Pro is commercial software, so there are some restrictions. The biggest one is that you cannot distribute Pro to folks not specifically covered by your license (e.g. you can't provide the files in your open source public repo)."
- Related: Bootstrap also has an icon set now (https://icons.getbootstrap.com/). This could be added along with Bootstrap 5.
https://themesberg.com/blog/bootstrap/bootstrap-icons-vs-fontawesome
- Tiki forums
Encouragement to use the Forums- Tiki indexes "recipes"
- What is your solution to have user "private pages" ?
- Help needed on Tiki.org forums (5 month old ❗
- How to deal with a bug that can't be easily explained (even the topic is hard to name 😂)
Example; tracker field visibility, all my attempt to use it on Tiki 18 to 23 with plugin List or CustomSearch failed.
It is very hard to reproduce, touches too many areas and combinations are endless.
+ @Bernard Sfez / Tiki Specialist: Please demonstrate on a show instance. If it's not possible to configure via the web interface, just add a task on dev.tiki.org, and avan.tech and we will add it, as it's a priority to as much as possible via the web interface. - Advanced Shopping Cart revamp for Tiki 24
- New (main?) chat room here https://gitter.im/tiki-org/community
- Fosdem will happen online again
- Who can prepare a presentation about a Tiki high point which will be appearing for end of January?
- Mailing Lists / Newsletter administration + moving of Email server -> we need a team to fix a number of issues
mainly a temporary project or task force.. Who will participate, when we start, finalize at which deadline? - Dogfood use of CalDav integration in tiki.org.
Ex: Torsten subscribed the Tiki Community Calendar. Thus after the vote for the Round Table meeting Torsten automatically gets a new event to his Thunderbird and Android calendars. This is just awesome!
Short description or demo optional (if enough time). - Tiki and translations
- https://tiki.org/forumthread77726-Translations-documentation-updates
- https://dev.tiki.org/Contextual-translations
- https://dev.tiki.org/Translations-Revamp
- Translations - short here and postpone to December or today longer in 2nd hour?
- ...
put your topic (max. 5-10 minutes) into the list above
Second hour, longer topics
- Cookies consent status Cookie-consent-improvements
- Deeper discussion about How to Have Fewer Bugs in Tiki: What are the patterns of the bugs (most frequent and most nasty) (Marc) (45 minutes)

"That should be task for the developer/committer to test it before release, no?" Ideally, yes, and perhaps it worked at the time. But someone needs to follow-up with that developer.

number of chats -> imho should be (re)merged to one central chatroom and optional subrooms based on topic, task or group

@Rodrigo Primo I agrree in respect of chat for example, which "helped" me to lose a bit connection to the community for a while and I find it hard to find back ... not too much, as I know the people and have some access, but I feel it quite complicated at this time.

The longer that we keep using email lists for our own communication (among devs in tiki-devel list besides de devel forum, and with users in tiki-users list besides the plenty forums shown in t.o) the less effort will be added to improve/fix our own solution for async communication using tiki forums for others.

There are definitely patterns in Tiki's bugs: 1) "Neglected features" and things like wikiplugins that few people use/test. 2) New features that aren't tested in all/many instances. 3) ....

I think Bernard said features are limited because of the depth and spectrum of the problem the developer of the sees only for himself]

sounds like the problem should be better documented within the tiki project.
if i got this right, some developer finds a problem where he uses tiki and creates a solution only for his situation. in the future, that solution might not be required for his problem anymore. so it wasnt a real tiki issue, it was a particular/personal issue. maybe this cases should not be turned into a tiki feature but tue issues documented and at some point the documented problem turned in a better analyzed issued and then a general solution should be developed into a feature

I think @Bernrard is right and I understan @Marc, that we need to distinguish wether we have this or that type of bugs, cause there are several types of bugs
to
Torsten Fabricius (Torsten)
01:59:52
in my opinion we could gain a lot from standard automatted tests, where we can continuously add more tests for new types of usage we learn about.

i believe that Tiki should reduce number of options doing the same or very similar thing when the latter is achievable by e.g. composition of few simpler things

02:04:19
I think i understand that the issue is really how we look at the root cause, the cause is the reason why a a feature exists. If a single user needs that feature, its not a feature that should be included into tiki. maybe a plugin (I know Marc hates plugins)

Another way of categorizing: 1) Bug caused by interaction of user data and Tiki code 2) Bug not directly related to user data

Interface tests:
1. what Software to use (need decision)
2. what ressources we need to use this software?
3. who contributes to the team/group to take care on further developing and maintaining this type of tests?

Removing things that are not 100% working may be too radical. But I see it as "unneeded" dangerous situation to let so-easy to activate Experimental or obsolete things.

@Bernard: yes, merging stuff to more robust features instead of one snippet for one task each I think makes a lot of sense (potentially)

Shouldn't using PHP8 with Tiki23 not possible ? (installation)

Sometimes it happens in the process... you have installed Tiki but then your OS decides to upgrade the PHP to PHP8

My prolem with PHP7.4 / PHP8 is that even when I go down toPHP 7.4 I have dependencies with libraries that are PHP8
