Benjie's Space Entry Proposal

Purpose

The purpose of this document is to specify who should be able to let themselves into the space and when. It does not specify the technical method use to implement the access restrictions - think of it as a specification the Door Entry System should comply to.

Workaround Mocha's Assertion Catching

(For Node.js only.)

To protect mocha tests (and before and after commands) from uncaught exceptions, in each test file:

{protect} = require './test_helper'
protect()

DIY CoffeeScript source map support

CoffeeScript already has source map support via the -m flag, but you have to compile the .coffee first and then run the .js with node for it to be effective. Running the .coffee directly with coffee seems to have no source map support.

This hack recalculates (and caches in memory) the source map on the fly so it can be imported into the excellent source-map-support module. It's disabled if you run the compiled JS file directly (as you would in production) because it assumes the source maps will already have been generated.

Storage Proposal

NOTE: in this proposal I use the term "users" to refer to "So Make It Members" and the newly proposed "Friends of So Make It", or, more specifically, "Supporters" since they need to pay a monthly subscription. Friends may have to jump a few more hoops to store their stuff here (e.g. have turned up a few time and thus become known to the community) but are treated basically equivalently to Members.

The space can provide storage for it's users, but storage is at a premium. Users' items should be stored only inside authorised storage boxes.

How much can I store?

The amount a user can store is based on their subscription level (and available space). The first £15/mo covers basic usage of the space (no storage), above this the allowance is allocated as follows:

Frontend

• git status to ensure local changes aren't breaking things (don't forget to check the untracked files too)
• npm install
• Restart grunt ensuring all old nodemon instances are well and truly dead
