PTS 2019 Projects
Add projects below that you're thinking of working on. If you see someone else's project that you'd like to help on, add your name, but email them as well please.
PAUSE
- Kenichi Ishigaki (charsbar)
- Merge mojo-wip branch into master
- Implement permission manipulation per distribution
- Implement admin privilege (PAUSE Operating Model)
- Prepare Dockerfile (or FakePAUSE?) to make it easier for others to test PAUSE/use PAUSE to test their tools
Pen testing of PAUSE
Using various tools to scan a local instance of PAUSE to check for any vulnerabilities and then looking into necessary changes. Depending on how long this takes this can also be done on other public facing tools/sites.
- Lee
MetaCPAN
Some MetaCPAN project
- Leo Lapworth (ranguard) - work with others on Dockerising MC and general sysadmin tasks, possible new data centre setup as well.
- Shawn Sorichetti (hide) - working with Leo Lapworth (ranguard) on the above, as well as additional OpenAPI implementation, and foundation for PostgreSQL.
- Olaf Alders (oalders) - working with others on Docker. Am also considering allowing non-PAUSE users to have their own profile pages. Will likely spend some time on looking at user authentication issues as well as our new admin portal
- Graham Knop (haarg) - logging and configuration, misc other
- Mickey Nasriachi (Mickey) - start a rewrite of our indexing code without the ElasticSearchX::Model dependency. This rewrite will enable a future upgrade of Elasticsearch for MetaCPAN.
- Dan Book (Grinnz) - discuss/prototype replacement for stratopan dependency graphs using metacpan API
Benchmarking
Revive Perl::Formance
- make it work for new Perl 5 releases
- actually run new benchmarks
- create results page and update http://perlformance.net
- make the project more approachable for others
TAP::DOM in Elasticsearch
- create mappings and code to put TAP::DOMs into Elasticsearch
- planned as new base for my traditional Tapper query apis
- ask for feedback, get tips from more experienced Elasticsearch users
- this is mostly meant as discussion/prototype/kick-off work

Devel::Cover
- Paul Johnson (pjcj)

- get coverage of top-level statements (ie not within a sub) (enlist Aaron?)
cpancover
- Paul Johnson (pjcj)
- containerisation
- put queue system live
- look into failover/redundancy/backup with metacpan
- allow user upload of coverage data
- management of external dependencies (system libraries etc)
Test::Needs
- Finish additions for non-module dependencies
Travis-CI Helpers
- Revive perl build infrastructure
- Address open issues and pull requests
- investigate docker
CPAN.pm

- Implement loading objects with YAML::PP; so far only dumping is supported.
- Implement loading binary data with YAML::PP via the !!binary tag
- Write a YAML::PP DateTime plugin that can load/dump timestamps
- Other feature requests related to YAML welcome!
