[Questions] [Newbie] Wiki ettiquete

[crafty-geek]

I'm effectively self-assigning #1090 (hauling, stockpiles, and inventory management), in all but GitHub's official assignment system (why Github's own issue 153 hasn't been dealt with yet, I don't know). This is a significant enough task, I'm wondering:

• Is it worthy of listing on the roadmap somewhere? Yes
• If so, what heading should it go under? Character (hauling), or Furniture and Inventory? Tentatively F+I
• Is it milestone 0.1 worthy? No.
• How verbose/concise/bulleted-list-y should such an addition be? Added as written in issue circa 9/3/16
• Should there be some sort of a wiki-ettiquette guide (perhaps on the Standards and Conventions page)? Perhaps just linking to this issue for now? Follow best guess for now
• Is roughly the below roadmap-ready verbosity/conciseness and formatting?

---

• Hauling Revamp - @crafty-geek, assistance welcome

Attempting to revamp how hauling jobs work, to:

• Make characters prefer filling up stockpile slots with some of the same item to putting it down on an empty slot
• Minimize/optimize the search space for dump-inventory type tasks
• Make characters prefer to carry full loads in one trip, rather than making many trips carrying partial loads
• Make characters look around their path for nearby to-be-stockpiled inventories of whatever they're carrying, and if there's room in their personal inventory, grab the stuff.
  • Considering other cases where "targets-of-opportunity" pathfinding might be useful; potential refactor into the pathfinding code rather than the inventory manager...

See #1090

Probably shouldn't add it to the Milestone 0.1, we need a static target for milestones to help guide development, and if the Milestone is added to, it spoils its function as a target. I would leave it up to Gatekeepers if this is viable as a MIlestone 0.1.

In the meantime it would probably be useful for us to have a page to track things people are working on.

Though just saying that you plan on doing it on the issue that brings it up, should do reasonably well, most people who aren't going to pay attention to that, probably wouldn't look for it anywhere else either.

In general, aside from that, the wiki is more or less open (and technically even that, I'm more suggesting that mucking with the milestone might be looked upon disfavorably.)

No need for a page to track what people are working on, just need people
who can assign issues to use that system - https://help.github.com/articles/assigning-issues-and-pull-requests-to-other-github-users/

@crafty-geek Thanks a lot for considering using the Wiki!
Dont be afraid to add to this page https://github.com/TeamPorcupine/ProjectPorcupine/wiki/Roadmap.

We really need to start with a better system, but for now please assign yourself there :)

[crafty-geek]

Thanks for the input, posted the draft.

Wiki-etiquette guide question and verbosity question still to be answered, so not gonna close myself; feel free to branch them off into a new issue and close this one, if a different convo is better for those qs.

[longtomjr]

I see no problem at all exept that the issue number is not hot linked. (unfortunately you need to do that manually in the wiki).
Further a guide to wiki ettiquete might be good, but atm I feel like you just use the formatting style used on the page or on the rest of the wiki.

[crafty-geek]

fixed hotlinking, thanks for checking

[crafty-geek]

and "follow the formatting style you see" answers the last q, closing.
