Has this group moved?

[Troy Holland]

Howdy,

Has this group moved somewhere else? I'm keen to start contributing to some open source genealogy projects. Where is the best place to start? Anyone need any help?

Cheers,

Troy

Hello Troy,

I have started an open source genealogy processor and family tree management system on GitHub. It is a web application written in PHP using Laravel and Vue. The structure is working but it still needs a lot of work on the interface and features.

Public demo:
https://curtis.delicata.me.uk

Facebook page:
https://www.facebook.com/laravelgenealogy

Source code:
https://www.github.com/laravel-genealogy/genealogy

It is licensed under MIT.

Regards,

Curtis

I'm working on all the browser plugins for http://recordseek.com/ .  Just trying to finish up Safari and Edge if you wanted to help with that.  :)

Thanks everyone, I'll take a look around.

First up, could someone please add me to the rootsdev GitHub group? I haven't used GitHub before, so I'm trying to find my way around. I've made a change to the genscrape code (on my local machine) and I'm trying to work out how I commit the change. I assume I can't do it because I'm not in the rootsdev group?

Cheers,

Troy

Not that I'm trying to discourage growing the community, but typically what one would do with a newcomer to an open source project is suggest that they:

1. Fork the project into their own Github account https://github.com/rootsdev/genscrape/network
   
2. Create a feature branch for the changes that they want to make
   
3. Make changes on that branch in their own repo
   
4. Submit a Pull Request asking that those changes be accepted by the project and merged into the main repo https://github.com/rootsdev/genscrape/pulls
   

This allows the core developers who are more familiar with the project to review the contributions of the newcomer. When the core team is comfortable that the developer understands the standards and processes of the project, then they are typically granted full commit rights.

Not all open source projects work that way, but the vast majority do.

Excellent, thanks for the advice Tom. Like I said, I've never used GitHub, so I wasn't sure how the process worked. I was certainly going to create a branch and submit a pull request, I just thought I had to do this in the same repository.

Cheers,

Troy

Hi Dovy,

Sources are something I'm quite passionate about, so I'd like to help with this if possible. I've installed the extension and it looks really good. Where is all the source code? I've found you on GitHub, but can't find the repo.

Cheers,

Troy
