  1. Reddit Playlister 2015-02-02

    Website generating a playlist / web player from YouTube and SoundCloud links from music subreddits (or, basically, any subreddit containing media stuff).

    Sadly, it doesn't seem to be Open Source, so you won't be able to host you own instance :-(

  2. Git is coming to AUR (or, AUR is coming to Git?)

  3. Discussion de fond sur l'auto-hébergement de code source via Git :

    • mise en place d'une interface d'administration web,
    • fonctionnalités couvertes : granularité des droits, CI, wiki,
    • simplicité d'utilisation,
    • réactivité,
    • interactivité avec la communauté / cadre d'utilisation.
  4. Uses a project or repository's history to plot user contributions, displaying an elegant, colored graph of the file arborescence.

    After running it on quite different projects...

    • Python/Bash CI/Jenkins scripts
    • Qt apps: GoldenDict, Psi+
    • PHP website: Shaarli

    ...watching some vids on teh intartubez:

    It allows to arbitrary spot some interesting implementation aspects (sorted by descending impact):

    • language-dependent trees (oh hai Java packages ^^)
    • framework-dependent trees
    • project-management method (none, Agile, TDD)

    Having a graphical tool also quickly shows:

    • the overall structure of the project (a bit cooler than a simple $ tree, way quicker than loading the project on an IDE)
    • the repartition of files (by extensions)
    • who are the most active contributors
    • what are the most modified files over time
    • who does what: additions, deletions, refactoring

    Some more CI-related matters:

    • are there any tests?
    • what is the source code / test code ratio? (we could expect a project/lib with N modules to have at least N test modules)
    • who initiates / implements / optimizes test code?
