We need your help #1781

josdejong · 2016-04-07T10:14:24Z

Almende is looking for people who can help maintaining and improving vis.js. We've put a lot of effort in building these visualizations, fix bugs, and support users as much as we can. Since some time we're lacking the manpower to maintain the library as we've done latest years. We need your help!

What can you do?

Help out other users having questions
Help fixing small bugs
Help with implementing new features
Become a collaborator and help with releases & maintenance
...

Are you interested in helping some way or another? Please let us know.

AlexDM0 · 2016-04-08T07:57:07Z

Hi Winston, We can use whatever help you want to provide. If you'd like to join just respond to the issues on here. If there are bugs in vis you can do a pull request with the solution until we find a better way to do it. Thanks for helping out!

for-sagacity · 2016-04-08T08:09:39Z

Ok I got it.
I will help you as far as i can.

beingsagir · 2016-04-12T08:14:05Z

This is an awesome library. In future it will serve a lot of professional designs and apps. We need to come forward and carry it together. I will be there.
I also do suggest to (let's) make everything little organised so, each time we come here know what to do.

[-] The website also needs to be little more organised.

AlexDM0 · 2016-04-12T08:15:44Z

Thanks! We're open to suggestions and pull requests to the website as well. What do you have in mind?

yotamberk · 2016-04-14T07:30:44Z

I can pick up some bugs during some weekends.
I deal mostly with the timeline so I'm willing to take any bugs there.

AlexDM0 · 2016-04-14T07:41:09Z

That would be great!

beegeesquare · 2016-04-15T12:17:33Z

I'm happy to help !

josdejong · 2016-04-16T07:34:01Z

Thanks @beegeesquare . Just sniff around for smaller or bigger issues/feature requests that you find interesting to pick up.

kurtcagle · 2016-04-19T17:42:56Z

I'm a regular user (and evangelist) of visjs, I can't promise much, but I'll try to spend some time in the code as well.

SepiG · 2016-04-19T19:58:05Z

Interested, what's next?

AlexDM0 · 2016-04-19T20:12:11Z

That would be great! If not the code then we could use a lot of help with answering issues.

Regards

AlexDM0 · 2016-04-19T20:15:02Z

@SepiG answering issues, both open and new ones. Help out in code where you can or improve the website and/or documentation. Any changes can be done with pull requests to the ghpages or develop branch.

Regards

kurtcagle · 2016-04-19T20:58:28Z

Alex,

I'd definitely be willing to help there. I'm kind of a JS-lite kind of guy,
good enough to understand what's going on and use the tools, but definitely
much better writing about it than deep-diving. If there a particular faq or
similar area that you need to have filled in?

AlexDM0 · 2016-04-19T21:00:13Z

If you feel that a faq would alleviate the amount of issues that come in then sure. It would be nice if there would be only one place to find answers though: the documentation.

kurtcagle · 2016-04-19T23:55:05Z

That makes sense. How do you generate your documentation?

DanielZhangQingLong · 2016-04-20T03:25:28Z

I have been using your vis.js for quite a long time, I like to help though I am not very good js developper.

AlexDM0 · 2016-04-20T07:56:51Z

@DanielZhangQingLong a lot of the work now is answering issues. Most of them do not require coding, like users with questions or users misunderstanding the dataset or events or options. If you can help out responding to these that would be great! You can always ask for help in the issue if you feel it's going over your head.

@kurtcagle we write it in html in the develop branch. Every release we overwrite the docs on ghpages with those on develop. If you feel like automating it all, be me quest ;). it could improve the inline documentation.

Anyone else: it would be a great help if someone could go over all examples and add a clone in jsbin link to them. This would make is much much easier to help new people as you can take a jsbin staring point from any example. It would also make it easier for users with questions to show their issues.

rcbyrne · 2016-04-22T08:45:55Z

I use Vis.js as a key part of an internal application I develop. I have also been wanting to get into some open source development outside of work, so would be happy to help pick up some work on the odd weekend.

andreasmacht · 2016-04-30T13:50:15Z

Hi Almende team,

First time I saw visjs library, I was very impressed about the visual features that you implemented. I am still a light-weight JS guy, but I want to get more proficient in JS and start a new career in there. I am definitely strong in documentation, issues' handling and management, answering questions as far my knowledge takes me. And the more I deep dive into JS, I would also like to support in fixing bugs in the future.

Currently, I am doing a capstone project with MeteorJS where I also use visjs (I've recognised in the past that visjs doesn't always respond well with MeteorJS). Due date is 23rd May. Hence, till then you won't find me being crazily active here, but I keep watching the progress and I am willing to support.

Best!

murarisumit · 2016-05-02T05:49:33Z

Hi @josdejong , I'm more into devops, so if anything in that domain is required, I'll be happy to help :)

acefxlabs · 2016-05-03T14:01:34Z

Just saw vis and actually we are intending on extending it in the office so we can also be part of this, will do all i can to contribute

data-hack-scripts · 2016-05-11T23:07:59Z

Hello
I would like to help, I like VIS!
:)

frankc60 · 2016-05-18T18:23:55Z

Hi, I am more than happy to be available to help out and contribute.

AlexDM0 · 2016-05-18T19:58:09Z

Thats great! We're looking for people helping out on issues and putting in / reviewing pull requests.

Cheers

I will be ready to contribute with the best of my knowledge in which ever way it comes before me. I am in the practice of applying VIS.js to my web based design application for solving engineering problems.

Please add me to the team of contributors and don't forget to send alert when there is issue to attend to.

mojoaxel · 2016-08-17T09:41:24Z

@jankdiss No questions in this issue, please. The best place to ask this kind of questions is stackoverflow.

garthtee · 2016-08-21T17:25:52Z

I'd love to help 👍 @josdejong

yotamberk · 2016-08-27T20:18:55Z

How can I submit an application to the support team?

mojoaxel · 2016-08-27T20:39:16Z

@yotamberk Just start helping here.
After you started getting "into the flow" of the project you can contact @ludost with a request for access.

yotamberk · 2016-08-27T20:57:13Z

No problem. I've added recently the rtl to the timeline, and now working on horizontal hiding of items when not visible + horizontal scroll. I'll submit the two in two separate pull request hopefully in the next two weeks after I've fully tested them. I'll be happy to go over other pull requests and test them out.

ceomuse · 2016-09-10T00:24:14Z

Hello, I'm afraid I don't have the skills to assist but perhaps I can help in so other ways. I can provide a paid staff we've contracted for the next few years. The other is that dirty word, money to pay for some additional help. I like what you're doing and see some features we may be able to utilize in one of our projects down the road.

May we help and if so, who is the best contact?

josdejong · 2016-09-12T07:16:08Z

Thanks for your offer @ceomuse. I think it's best to send an email to Andries Stam (andries@almende.com) for financial/business related ideas, and to contact Ludo (@ludost) for technical ideas.

balguri23 · 2016-09-13T09:54:39Z

Interested to pick some bugs, what next?

ram-c · 2016-09-25T10:06:31Z

Sure :) I'll be happy to help! I'll start with bug regression/testing

bardcrack · 2016-09-27T04:58:46Z

My English no is very good, but i want Help for this project.

wimrijnders · 2016-10-09T20:47:34Z

Hi Almende,

This is to inform you that I have forked vis.js and am currently refactoring the Graph3D part.
My ultimate goal is is make multiple graphs per view possible ('groups' I believe they are called elsewhere), but this is the first step.

I'm rearranging the code so that the parts per graph style are grouped together in 'style handlers', in the process getting rid of all the tests on selected style such as:

if (this.style === Graph3d.STYLE.GRID ||
    this.style === Graph3d.STYLE.SURFACE) {
    this._redrawDataGrid();
  }
  else if (this.style === Graph3d.STYLE.LINE) {
    this._redrawDataLine();
  }
  else if (this.style === Graph3d.STYLE.BAR ||
    this.style === Graph3d.STYLE.BARCOLOR ||
    this.style === Graph3d.STYLE.BARSIZE) {
    this._redrawDataBar();
  }
  else {
    // style is DOT, DOTLINE, DOTCOLOR, DOTSIZE
    this._redrawDataDot();
  }

I hope this can be appreciated.

En groetjes uit Groningen!

Wim.

wimrijnders · 2016-10-10T09:30:03Z

Question, wrt. my previous post here:

I'm making the changes in the master branch - I understand that these should later be pulled into the develop branch.
But shouldn't I have done the changes in the develop branch to begin with?

Just wondering.

Stexxen · 2016-10-10T09:56:23Z

@wimrijnders Hi is there any reason you are specifically forking vis.js and not adding your changes as a pull request?

wimrijnders · 2016-10-10T09:59:05Z

OK, my ignorance is showing here....

I thought that was how a pull request worked, i.e. you fork, make changes
and return the changes from the fork in a pull request.

If this is not the way to do it, please advise me what the correct
procedure is.

Sorry that was my assumption, that you meant fork as in a permanent one.
Please ignore me :-S

In regards to your changes, any pulls must be done on the develop branch, not the master.
Cheers,
S.

wimrijnders · 2016-10-10T10:16:55Z

Ah, ok. No, I wasn't planning on maintaining a fork myself! I have every
intention of folding the changes back to the main project. I have enough
kids to take care of :-).

Pulls to the develop branch: understood. But chould I also be doing the
changes in the develop branch? I used the master as base right now.

yes please make changes to develop branch, as that has quite a few pulls already done on it. So is significantly ahead.

OK thanks, will do. I'll merge my changes into develop and continue from

@dragonzone Can you please contact me. I would like to make you a team member if you are interested.

abcbaby · 2016-10-19T00:48:34Z

@mojoaxel , Thanks for the invite, however, I don't think I will have that much time dedicated to the project. Further, I only have experience w/ the vis.js Network & DataSet portion only. Once in awhile in my spare time, I will try to pitch out w/ the project since @AlexDM0 had helped me alot awhile back so I want to give back and don't want the project to be abandonware.

* removed reference to the style-guide * added a how-to-help; added a document describing the current maintainer status; fixes #2170; closes #1781 * listing the members of the support team * use search before creating a new issue * fixes typos
