  Self-Certification in parts tracker
 
Hello! I thought we talked/discussed about self-certification in the parts tracker and came to the conclusion that self-certifications shouldn't be done. I noticed lateley that people submit parts to the parts tracker and self certify these right (...) (22 years ago, 11-Jun-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Self-Certification in parts tracker
 
I agree with Carsten. I think self certification is contrary to reason the parts tracker was formed, to put out quality error free parts. Those of you out there who work in fields where Quality Assurance is a big deal understand why self-cert can be (...) (22 years ago, 11-Jun-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Self-Certification in parts tracker
 
(...) I do *NOT* recall this discussion. Was this on LUGNet? How long ago? Or, was it on "RTL"? (Does anyone still use "RTL"?) Also, FWIW, I asked Steve, before I ever did any self-certification, if he had any qualms about this. He said that if (...) (22 years ago, 11-Jun-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Self-Certification in parts tracker
 
(...) I don't recall the discussion either, but that doesn't change my opinion (...) I think is new system is WAY better. Take a look at part 2598 and you'll see why I think this way. I'd rather have the process be slow and put out quality vice (...) (22 years ago, 12-Jun-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Self-Certification in parts tracker
 
I thought about this issue while I was at work and I've decided to reverse my opinion on the matter. I feel that self-cert is OK as long as the user doing it is responsible and feels comfortable doing it. I probably won't start self-certifying my (...) (22 years ago, 12-Jun-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  "the new way" (was: Re: Self-Certification in parts tracker)
 
(...) Actually, we're on track this year to release approximately 800 files. That's as many files as we've ever released, back in 1998 and 1999. Here are the released file counts, starting from the first 'LCAD Update'. Year Files 1997 128 1998 806 (...) (22 years ago, 12-Jun-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Self-Certification in parts tracker
 
(...) Hi reviewers, I am also not disturbed by self-certification practice. First the practice is mainly from people like Chris Dee and Franklin W. Cain that I have high respect for, because of their past and present monumentuous contribution. Their (...) (22 years ago, 12-Jun-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Self-Certification in parts tracker
 
(...) Actually, since the previous time that this was raised, I have refrained from self-certifying, and at that time cancelled all my existing self-certifications. But on several of these files, that is still the last action! I'd like to see an (...) (22 years ago, 12-Jun-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Self-Certification in parts tracker
 
(...) Good idea. I don't think this would work as 'just another sort' of the parts list page (URL). I'd rather have a "most in need of attention" page, with the following parameters: 1. Exclude all certified files. 2. Sort the files by date of last (...) (22 years ago, 13-Jun-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Self-Certification in parts tracker
 
(...) Yes. (...) I don't think they should be included (as a reviewer). (...) I think so. (...) :-) Jacob (22 years ago, 13-Jun-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Self-Certification in parts tracker
 
Here's a first attempt: (URL). This page excludes Certified! and Held files, and sorts by most-recent-action-date, oldest to newest. It does not take superfile-subfile relations into account. Take a look, and let me know what you think. One down (...) (22 years ago, 13-Jun-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Self-Certification in parts tracker
 
Hello Steve, Looks very good... The easiest solution would be to add an 'Date of first submission' field in the part table. Because this field didn't exists so far the start value should be the date of the last action on a part. Then a parts thats (...) (22 years ago, 13-Jun-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Self-Certification in parts tracker
 
(...) Looks good. I dont think the subfile issue is all that important, as I only ever review subfiles when required by a superfile I'm reviewing - the superfile will tell me if the subfiles need certifying anyway, and I can get to them easily from (...)

  Re: Self-Certification in parts tracker
 
(...) That looks great, Steve, thanks. I really think this will help to maintain author perspective, and help some reviewers to target the oldest files. Chris (22 years ago, 14-Jun-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Self-Certification in parts tracker
 
(...) Looks good. Would it be difficult to limit the list to the first 20 or so entries? Jacob (22 years ago, 14-Jun-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Self-Certification in parts tracker
 
(...) Depends - do you want to be able to page to the *next* 20 or so entries? Without paging, it'd be very easy to implement. Steve (22 years ago, 14-Jun-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Self-Certification in parts tracker
 
(...) I think I would, but just having the choice between only the first 20 entries (default) and all the entries (optional) would be helpful. Jacob (22 years ago, 18-Jun-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: "the new way" (was: Re: Self-Certification in parts tracker)
 
(...) [snip] I remembered this old post, and thought I'd post a followup. Better late than never. Here is a summary of part updates by year Year Files Updates 1997 128 3 1998 806 10 1999 685 6 2000 376 2 2001 224 3 2002 848 6 2003 81 1 So, based on (...)
