WIP Wednesday!

[chennes]

OK, another week is upon us -- what's everyone working on? I'm continuing to polish up translations, and working with translators to find missing strings.

- FPA April month end
- investigate placement anomalies with Link sources
- investigate replacement of BaseGeom with @benj5378

I hope that after our very well-attended developer's meeting this past weekend many of you are feeling energized and have big plans! This wek I'm working on StringHasher in the toponaming code, and on eliminating unnecessary HTML from translated strings. You?

I figure this next week the answer from everyone is: "squashing bugs for the 0.21 release", right?

[yorik]

yes

[chennes]

Well, I probably can't keep posting "WIP Wednesday" posts that just say "bug fixing"! So, what are you all working on this week? I mean, bug fixing is a given, but what bugs? What else?

I am running the Splashscreen contest, squashing translation issues, and working on Toponaming Card 3.

It's cool that you're back from leave because without you, nothing was happening
I didn't even feel like complaining

Total stagnation

Not a developer, but as in May contributor meeting me and @marioalexis were appointed to study and write some guidelines about Python docstrings, I'm studying some Google docstrings format implementation.

IMHO Possible choices are restricted to Google and numpydoc formats, as they seems to be supported by automatic document generation systems like Sphinx and also be easily human readable, without reading an entire manual.

Sadly I'm experiencing problems with my 4G internet connection, as there are works on the radio network and mixed problems due to rain and probably hackers attacks. Last week was a nightmare to work with PC and even smarthphone that has a different operator was having lags when connecting.

Sorry for the long post and Regards.

I am playing with a (future) substitute for ObjectIdentifier. It uses std::shared_ptr and I think it would fit nicely in FreeCAD by providing a safer, more robust and unified way to access/reference variables by a "path".
There is a README.md file here:

WIP Wednesday took a hiatus during the feature freeze this summer, and for the last few weeks I've just been writing it on the basis of open and merged PRs, and discussions on Discord. Time to bring it back to the forums as well... does anyone have anything in progress you want me to mention?
