Emesene 1 love century

[marianoguerra]

as no one wants to maintain emesene 1 and a lot of new programmers want to start touching the code but they don't know how, I propose one thing.

first of all learn python if you don't (it's recommended that you master at least one OO programming language)

http://www.diveintopython.org/

then read the PEP-8

http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/

then reread it!

then select a small module, read it, understand it, then comment it, then if you think it can be refactored (some of the code sucks!) refactore it, then test it a lot and then you can submit the patch. If you break the api, please use your grep-fu to refactor the calls to the module.

If you want some guide you can run pylint over the module to get hints on what you can fix/enhance.

if you have a doubt ask it here I will try to explain (if I remember) how the module works.

someone interested?

happy hacking!

as always you can use the irc channel to get some help or the forum.

would a mailing list for devs be useful?

Like I said you in e-mail...I`m! 

a mailing list would be very useful!

I`m kind of a master in an OO programming language (PHP) and I`ll be reading that 2 sites starting now =P

Just a few questions that I have in mind now:
I think doughts will come in time!

What you want us to do from now is try to understand the code, document it (I remember you said emesene1 is not right documented) and try to correct "bad code"?

FYI, most people don't consider PHP a real programming language. Ok, just trolling. Sorry.

At least fix bugs or add features. Documentation isn't a priority.

Is the emesene project in launchpad updated?
I would like to begin branching

yes, it's imported from vcs-imports, you can branch it without problems, anyway it's not monitored by devs or whatever, so if you want to give back, you must make patches

so much reading to do. the diveintopython pdf is like 300 pages. 

[Eibriel]

I download the pdf... some day i'will read them... and some another day i'will code something..

I'm interesting on the protocol ...
I've experience on hotmail reverse engineering with the no programming language php hehehe

I see the links posted on blog but I no found a deepest documentation.. exist something like that?

Regards!!

python is actually a very easy language to learn if you know other OOP languages. Dont think there is a need to read the 300pages, try googling for quick python tutorials, the rest u will learn while coding.
I know python but unfortunatly i dont have the time to help u guys right now.. but i think emesene 2 should be in fact the priority and it seems to have a lot of potencial.. why not use all this extra help on emesene 2?

I don't. Well, not really. I did some basic stuff back in university, but aside that i can only do bash/shell scripts 

[psychok7]

Well i dont know whts in those 300pages, but if the book is only about introduction to python then quick tutorials  on the web are quicker for you to learn if u had OOP back at Uni or somewhere else even in another language. Just need to know the differences between python and other languages, the advantages, and the rest u learn while coding.
