CS2113/T Website - Admin: Project: mid-v1.1 [week 6]

Overview: Set up project repo, start moving UG and DG to the repo, attempt to do local-impact changes to the code base.

Project Management:

One team member: Set up the team org and team repo for your team if you haven't done that already.
- Set up auto-publishing of docs

All members: Set up your own forks of the team repo, so that you can submit PRs to your team repo using the forking workflow.

Before you do any coding for the project, please ensure you have set the Git username correctly (as explained in Appendix E) in _all_ Computers you use for coding.

Documentation:

Recommended procedure for updating docs:

Divide among yourselves who will update which parts of the document(s).
Update the team repo by following the forking workflow.
One member: create a PR from your team repo master branch to [addressbook-level4] (or [addressbook-level3]) master branch. PR name: [Team ID] Product Name e.g., [W12-2] Contact List Pro. In the PR description mention the other team members so that they get notified when the tutor adds comments to the PR.

Update the following pages in your project repo:

About Us page:
This page is used for module admin purposes. Please follow the format closely to avoid penalties.
- Replace info of SE-EDU developers with info of your team, including a suitable photo as described here.
- Including the name/photo of the supervisor/lecturer is optional.
- The photo of a team member should be doc/images/githbub_username_in_lower_case.png e.g. docs/images/akshay.png.

Indicate the different roles played and responsibilities held by each team member. You can reassign these roles and responsibilities (as explained in Admin Project Scope) later in the project, if necessary.

README.adoc page: Update it to match your project.
- Add a UI mockup of your intended final product.
  Note that the image of the UI should be docs/images/Ui.png so that it can be downloaded by our scripts.
- The original README.adoc file (which doubles as the landing page of your project website) is written to read like the introduction to an SE learning/teaching resource. You should restructure this page to look like the home page of a real product (not a school project) targeting real users e.g. remove references to addressbook-level3, Learning Outcomes etc. mention target users, add a marketing blurb etc. On a related note, also remove Learning Outcomes link and related pages.
- Acknowledge the original source of the code i.e. AddressBook-Level4 project created by SE-EDU initiative at https://github.com/se-edu/
User Guide: Start moving the content from your User Guide (draft created in previous weeks) into the User Guide page in your repository.
Developer Guide: Similar to the User Guide, start moving the content from your Developer Guide (draft created in previous weeks) into the Developer Guide page in your team repository.

Product:

Each member can attempt to do a local-impact change to the code base.

Objective: To familiarize yourself with at least one component the code.

Description: Divide the components among yourselves. Each member can do some small enhancements to their component(s) to learn the code of that component. Some suggested enhancements are given in the AddressBook-Level4 developer guide.

Submission: Create PRs from your own fork to your team repo. Get it merged by following your team's workflow.

Before you start coding, please read our reuse policy (in Admin: Appendix B), in particular, how to give credit when you reuse code from Internet or classmates.

Policy on reuse

Reuse is encouraged. However, note that reuse has its own costs (such as the learning curve, additional complexity, usage restrictions, and unknown bugs). Furthermore, you will not be given credit for work done by others. Rather, you will be given credit for using work done by others.

You are allowed to reuse work from your classmates, subject to following conditions:
- The work has been published by us or the authors.
- You clearly give credit to the original author(s).
You are allowed to reuse work from external sources, subject to following conditions:
- The work comes from a source of 'good standing' (such as an established open source project). This means you cannot reuse code written by an outside 'friend'.
- You clearly give credit to the original author. Acknowledge use of third party resources clearly e.g. in the welcome message, splash screen (if any) or under the 'about' menu. If you are open about reuse, you are less likely to get into trouble if you unintentionally reused something copyrighted.
- You do not violate the license under which the work has been released. Please do not use 3rd-party images/audio in your software unless they have been specifically released to be used freely. Just because you found it in the Internet does not mean it is free for reuse.
- Always get permission from us before you reuse third-party libraries. Please post your 'request to use 3rd party library' in our GitHub forum. That way, the whole class get to see what libraries are being used by others.

Giving credit for reused work

Given below are how to give credit for things you reuse from elsewhere. These requirements are specific to this module i.e., not applicable outside the module (outside the module you should follow the rules specified by your employer and the license of the reused work)

If you used a third party library:

Mention in the README.adoc (under the Acknowledgements section)
mention in the Project Portfolio Page if the library has a significant relevance to the features you implemented

If you reused code snippets found on the Internet e.g. from StackOverflow answers or
referred code in another software or
referred project code by current/past student:

If you read the code to understand the approach and implemented it yourself, mention it as a comment
Example:

//Solution below adapted from https://stackoverflow.com/a/16252290
{Your implmentation of the reused solution here ...}

If you copy-pasted a non-trivial code block (possibly with minor modifications renaming, layout changes, changes to comments, etc.), also mark the code block as reused code (using @@author tags)
Format:

//@@author {yourGithubUsername}-reused
//{Info about the source...}

{Reused code (possibly with minor modifications) here ...}

//@@author

Example of reusing a code snippet (with minor modifications):

persons = getList()
//@@author johndoe-reused
//Reused from https://stackoverflow.com/a/34646172 with minor modifications
Collections.sort(persons, new Comparator<CustomData>() {
    @Override
    public int compare(CustomData lhs, CustomData rhs) {
        return lhs.customInt > rhs.customInt ? -1 : (lhs.customInt < rhs.customInt) ? 1 : 0;
    }
});
//@@author
return persons;

Adding `@@author` tags indicate authorship

Mark your code with a //@@author {yourGithubUsername}. Note the double @.
The //@@author tag should indicates the beginning of the code you wrote. The code up to the next //@@author tag or the end of the file (whichever comes first) will be considered as was written by that author. Here is a sample code file:
```
//@@author johndoe
method 1 ...
method 2 ...
//@@author sarahkhoo
method 3 ...
//@@author johndoe
method 4 ...
```
If you don't know who wrote the code segment below yours, you may put an empty //@@author (i.e. no GitHub username) to indicate the end of the code segment you wrote. The author of code below yours can add the GitHub username to the empty tag later. Here is a sample code with an empty author tag:
```
method 0 ...
//@@author johndoe
method 1 ...
method 2 ...
//@@author
method 3 ...
method 4 ...
```
The author tag syntax varies based on file type e.g. for java, css, fxml. Use the corresponding comment syntax for non-Java files.
Here is an example code from an xml/fxml file.
```

<textbox>
  <label>...</label>
  <input>...</input>
</textbox>
...
```

Do not put the //@@author inside java header comments.
👎

/**
  * Returns true if ...
  * @@author johndoe
  */

👍

//@@author johndoe
/**
  * Returns true if ...
  */

What to and what not to annotate

Annotate both functional and test code There is no need to annotate documentation files.
Annotate only significant size code blocks that can be reviewed on its own e.g., a class, a sequence of methods, a method.
Claiming credit for code blocks smaller than a method is discouraged but allowed. If you do, do it sparingly and only claim meaningful blocks of code such as a block of statements, a loop, or an if-else statement.
- If an enhancement required you to do tiny changes in many places, there is no need to annotate all those tiny changes; you can describe those changes in the Project Portfolio page instead.
- If a code block was touched by more than one person, either let the person who wrote most of it (e.g. more than 80%) take credit for the entire block, or leave it as 'unclaimed' (i.e., no author tags).
- Related to the above point, if you claim a code block as your own, more than 80% of the code in that block should have been written by yourself. For example, no more than 20% of it can be code you reused from somewhere.
- 💡 GitHub has a blame feature and a history feature that can help you determine who wrote a piece of code.
Do not try to boost the quantity of your contribution using unethical means such as duplicating the same code in multiple places. In particular, do not copy-paste test cases to create redundant tests. Even repetitive code blocks within test methods should be extracted out as utility methods to reduce code duplication. Individual members are responsible for making sure code attributed to them are correct. If you notice a team member claiming credit for code that he/she did not write or use other questionable tactics, you can email us (after the final submission) to let us know.
If you wrote a significant amount of code that was not used in the final product,
- Create a folder called {project root}/unused
- Move unused files (or copies of files containing unused code) to that folder
- use //@@author {yourGithubUsername}-unused to mark unused code in those files (note the suffix unused) e.g.
```
//@@author johndoe-unused
method 1 ...
method 2 ...
```
Please put a comment in the code to explain why it was not used.
If you reused code from elsewhere, mark such code as //@@author {yourGithubUsername}-reused (note the suffix reused) e.g.
```
//@@author johndoe-reused
method 1 ...
method 2 ...
```
You can use empty @@author tags to mark code as not yours when RepoSense attribute the to you incorrectly.
- Code generated by the IDE/framework, should not be annotated as your own.
- Code you modified in minor ways e.g. adding a parameter. These should not be claimed as yours but you can mention these additional contributions in the Project Portfolio page if you want to claim credit for them.

At the end of the project each student is required to submit a Project Portfolio Page.

Objective:
- For you to use (e.g. in your resume) as a well-documented data point of your SE experience
- For us to use as a data point to evaluate your,
  - contributions to the project
  - your documentation skills
Sections to include:
- Overview: A short overview of your product to provide some context to the reader.
- Summary of Contributions:
  - Code contributed: Give a link to your code on Project Code Dashboard, which should be https://nuscs2113-ay1819s1.github.io/dashboard/#=undefined&search=githbub_username_in_lower_case (replace githbub_username_in_lower_case with your actual username in lower case e.g., johndoe). This link is also available in the Project List Page -- linked to the icon under your photo.
  - Main feature implemented: A summary of the main feature you implemented
  - Other contributions:
    - Contributions to project management e.g., setting up project tools, managing releases, managing issue tracker etc.
    - Evidence of helping others e.g. responses you posted in our forum, bugs you reported in other team's products,
    - Evidence of technical leadership e.g. sharing useful information in the forum
  - [Optional] Other minor enhancements: If you have other enhancements that you implemented, which are not related to your main feature, you can include it here. If you have written a significant amount of code that can be advertised as a feature by itself, but does not belong to your main feature, you can choose to include it as a part of the optional enhancements.
- Contributions to the User Guide: Reproduce the parts in the User Guide that you wrote. This can include features you implemented as well as features you propose to implement.
  The purpose of allowing you to include proposed features is to provide you more flexibility to show your documentation skills. e.g. you can bring in a proposed feature just to give you an opportunity to use a UML diagram type not used by the actual features.
- Contributions to the Developer Guide: Reproduce the parts in the Developer Guide that you wrote. Ensure there is enough content to evaluate your technical documentation skills and UML modelling skills. You can include descriptions of your design/implementations, possible alternatives, pros and cons of alternatives, etc.
- If you plan to use the PPP in your Resume, you can also include your SE work outside of the module (will not be graded)

Format:

File name: docs/team/githbub_username_in_lower_case.adoc e.g., docs/team/johndoe.adoc
Follow the example in the AddressBook-Level4, but ignore the following two lines in it.
- Minor enhancement: added a history command that allows the user to navigate to previous commands using up/down keys.
- Code contributed: [Functional code] [Test code] {give links to collated code files}
💡 You can use the Asciidoc's include feature to include sections from the developer guide or the user guide in your PPP. Follow the example in the sample.
It is assumed that all contents in the PPP were written primarily by you. If any section is written by someone else e.g. someone else wrote described the feature in the User Guide but you implemented the feature, clearly state that the section was written by someone else (e.g. Start of Extract [from: User Guide] written by Jane Doe). Reason: Your writing skills will be evaluated based on the PPP

Page limit: If you have more content than the limit given below, shorten (or omit some content) so that you do not exceed the page limit. Having too much content in the PPP will be viewed unfavorably during grading. Note: the page limits given below are after converting to PDF format. The actual amount of content you require is actually less than what these numbers suggest because the HTML → PDF conversion adds a lot of spacing around content.

Content	Limit
Overview + Summary of contributions	0.5-1
Contributions to the User Guide	1-3
Contributions to the Developer Guide	3-6
Total	5-10
