Wedge

Take another one! :P

The problem with giving direct access to commit is that you cannot review their work before including, it, in some ways, can be worse than a pull request. I know declining a pull request can be a slap in the face, but a lot of projects have pulled it off fairly fine. There really are not many good ways of rejecting a fully coded submission. Or we can go even more heavy duty by using something like gerrit.

Not trying to be biased but Hg has nothing over Git, AFAIK it can do pull requests like the way git does but it is not better and most likely worse. Plus in all honesty github is perhaps the best repository hosting option out there ATM. Google code hardly has anything like fork support or pull request (Google itself doesn't use it for Android), source forge is old news, bit bucket/repository hosting have much less features than github (AFAIK) plus a much smaller user base.

Folder ownership/permissions? Can it be seen by Nginx?

This pretty much sums up my reaction as well, I never knew such function existed...

I thought I'd announce this before I go, anyway, I've been working on a full fledged notifications of Wedge which is meant to serve as a replacement for all the existing notification with a fully pluggable notifications system.

The system plugin by default provides no notifications, but various plugin that will come with it that provides notifications for various actions. Currently implemented features:

- Allow plugins to easily issue notifications without much hassle
- Provide the user an easy interface to view those and mark as read, currently it's displaying 5 latest unread notifications on the sidebar with an option to view all notifications. The notifications are marked as read automatically as soon as they're clicked.
- Allow individual notifiers to be disabled per user, i.e. an user can choose to not receive notification for topic replies etc.
- Allow notifiers to send e-mails for notifications, which can be disabled on a per notifier basis by the user
- Allow e-mails to be received instantly, daily or weekly (not implemented yet)

The aim of the system is to provide an easy API for plugins to notify users without having to re-implement all the features again. Plus it provides a centralized system for receiving/viewing notifications.

Notification extensions
These plugins use the notifications core to issue notifications in various events, the notifications core itself is useless. These can be used as a sample for notification extensions

ID: Dragooon:WeNotif-TopicReply

Notifies the author of a reply to their topic

ID: Dragooon:WeNotif-Quote

Notifies the author if someone has quoted their post

I'll be working on replacing the existing notifications next, by providing plugins that mimic the funcionality but work full and well with the notification system.

I've been thinking about this, something like points system instead of a 0-100% linear scale might be better here, this is somewhat similar to a RPG's skill system :P. Basically there will be certain "points" associated with each infraction, say removing avatar and signature will be 1 point, avoiding posting in a board will be 3 points and avoiding posting all together will be 10 points. Admins can specify which membergroup can specify up to which points of infractions, so a local moderator cannot ban the hell out of an user because that user pissed him off. Similarly, if an admin can set thresholds of points, if an user accumulates a lot of points than he is automatically banned and/or an admin/global moderator/some other group is automatically notified.

Now on the admin side, an admin can specify which infraction has how many points and the membergroup limits of points, the moderator/global moderator can see his/her options while issuing an infraction in a simplified list and/or report the user to senior member with a reason (if he/she feels the user should have a level of infraction that is beyond his/her range).

PS : It'll be cool to be able to specify infraction for every permission instead of pre-defined sets, and of course, it should be plugable so that a normal mod can extend it to according to it's will.

PPS: Sorry if the entire idea sounds absurd, I'm on very little sleep, and fairly tired. Plus I drank a bit :p...
