Almanac.httparchive.org: Validate chapters by year

[rviscomi]

As a follow-up to #392, we shouldn't hardcode the list of chapters. It should support any given year and pull the chapter IDs from the config.

Is this being worked on by someone ?

Nope, not had a chance to look at it yet - go for it!

[arsenicraghav]

Sure! I will give it a shot. can you assign it ?

[bazzadp]

can you assign it ?

Are you not able to grab it yourself by clicking on the "assign yourself" link?

[arsenicraghav]

No, I don't think so. I don't see an option.

[rviscomi]

Need to add @arsenicraghav to the GitHub Almanac team for them to be assignable

Well we should add him to there anyway. And to developers. Can you permission me to be able to do that?

However I am able to assign him. So not convinced he _needs_ to be in there. But then that could be cause of my permissions and I can assign anyone? So not sure if it's a permission thing or a UX thing - I think assigning issues in GitHub isn't the most obvious UX and is easily missed!

pull the chapter IDs from the config.

@rviscomi do you mean to say from an existing config file ?

[rviscomi]

Yes, see 2019.json https://github.com/HTTPArchive/almanac.httparchive.org/blob/master/src/config/2019.json

[bazzadp]

Yes, see 2019.json https://github.com/HTTPArchive/almanac.httparchive.org/blob/master/src/config/2019.json

He's already done that as part of #541 .

Think he's asking how he can get access to assign items himself. Just confirmed people in the team can't assign issues to themselves. Can we permission him to be able to do that without full permissions for the repo if we want to keep that locked down a bit for now?

[rviscomi]

I've just given @bazzadp @obto and @mikegeyser permission to add members to the Almanac Contributors team and sent @arsenicraghav an invitation to join the Developers subteam.

I can't seem to invite new people :-( Am I doing something stupid?

Also don't have permission to add people to sub-teams.

[rviscomi]

That's weird, I don't know why you wouldn't be able to add new members.

I've also given you maintainer role on the Developers subteam. Maybe that helps?

[bazzadp]

No still can only move people around that are already part of HTTPArchive org.

So I can add anoblet to Alamanac Contributors or Developers as he's part of HTTP Archive Developers, but I can't add people to Almanac who are completely new (like SilentJMA).

[rviscomi]

Ok. There's also a way for people to request to join a team, I think we should try that instead.

[rviscomi]

@arsenicraghav any update on this?

[bazzadp]

We asked @arsenicraghav to pause working on this in https://github.com/HTTPArchive/almanac.httparchive.org/pull/557#issuecomment-559807009 until we'd figured out #561 - which we haven't figured out yet! 😀

[rviscomi]

Thanks for the reminder :sweat_smile:
