Coworfing

Coworfing is built by the coworking community to share the best places to work.

Depending on your skills and desires, there are different ways for you to participate. Check the What To Work On? section below to find something to help with, and then the How to contribute to get started with our code.

New features are released regularly. Follow us on Twitter @coworfing, our blog and like our Facebook page. If you have any doubts or questions, let us know: coworfing@gmail.com.

Happy contribution!

#WHAT TO WORK ON?

##1. Report an issue

Found a problem?

First check that you are the only one to have spotted it by searching similar issues in the issues list. If your issue is not listed, then create a bug report, with at least an explicit title and a descriptive text, the part of code posing a problem, and (it would be great) a unit test showing what goes wrong.

##2. Solve an issue

Here is a list of the priorities to solve. Click on the item to see the corresponding issue. Comment on the issue if you have any doubts or questions. The list is sorted by priority (first item is the most important).

• Button "Edit place" on the place page (public places can be edited by any logged user)
• Button "report this place" (in order to merge double places)
• Search by place name
• Search by tag
• When users makes a search on the map, clicks on a place, and goes back to the map, they should see the map as the result of their search (currently they are taken back to a map of the world)
• Insert the fields for signing in directly on the nav bar
• User should be able to browse places without going back to the list (insert arrows on right and left, like the picture gallery)
• Sorting places per frequentation (number of "I worked here")
• Display LinkedIn skills on places (based on "I worked here")
• Opening times

##3. Try and assess pending pull requests

You can also try pending pull request that have been submitted to us to test their validity.

##4. Propose new features

Email us at coworfing@gmail.com before you propose a new feature as we are currently focusing on solving issues rather than introducing new features.

#HOW TO CONTRIBUTE

##1. Getting ready to contribute

First, you'll need to have a working Rails development environment. Check the Contributing to Ruby on Rails page.

Be sure to have PostgreSQL configured, as well as bundler, and of course Git.

Then grab the code and deploy coworfing locally on your computer:

• Fork the coworfing repo on GitHub

• Clone your fork:

    git clone https://github.com/xxxyourNamexxx/coworfing.git
  

• Get into your coworfing directory and run

    bundle install
  

• create a postgres user for the app

    su - postgres
    psql
    create role coworfing with createdb login password 'yourpassword';
  

• you may have to edit your pg_hba.conf to be able to log to your database. More details here.

• run

    rake db:seed
  

• to prepare the test database

    RAILS_ENV=test rake db:create db:schema:load
  

• you have to create SECRET_TOKEN for verifying the integrity of signed cookies

    rake secret
  

• finaly put your token to .env as SECRET_TOKEN=### (see .env.example)

Coworfing is now deployed locally on your computer!

##2. Submitting your changes

If you feel like adding your stone to the collaborative coworfing cathedral, please do so using a clear procedure:

• work on your cloned repo

• commit the changes you are happy with on your computer, with a short and clear comment for each commit

• Before pushing, be sure that you updated you cloned repo, changes might have occurred while you were working:

  • create a remote

        git remote add coworfing https://github.com/nukomeet/coworfing.git
    

  • Get the changes

        git fetch coworfing
    

  • Get back on your branch and merge

        git checkout master
        git merge coworfing/master
    

  • Update your repo on GitHub

        git push origin master
    

Then you can issue a pull request. Be sure to comment precisely what your request adds, and accompany it with all necessary tests. There is a chance that other contributors or the maintainers may suggest changes to your code before accepting it. Please take it as a really good sign, it means your contribution is potentially clever and interesting, and this is the way of the collaborative revolution.

Now play with the code, play with the app, find the coolest places to coworf!
