I propose to update Help with Drupal Commons section on Drupal Commons project page to be more consice and helpful for folks who stop by - with info about Commons on D7.

Rendered:

And the source code:

<ul>
  <li>Learn <a href="http://commons.acquia.com/page/how-contribute-commons">how to contribute to Commons</a> and get a working copy from the Drupal.org repository.</li>
  <li>Follow <a href="http://drupal.org/node/1205556">update of Commons to Drupal 7</a> progress and provide help/feedback!</li>
  <li>Provide <a href="http://commons.acquia.com/group/commons-documentation">feedback on documentation</a>, and make requests for additional documentation.</li>
</ul>

So, I bumped out:

* Test of the development version of Commons by downloading a nightly snapshot.

Because everything is noted in: http://commons.acquia.com/page/how-contribute-commons

* Work on an issue in another project with the commonslove tag

Because everything is in #1205556: [META] Commons on Drupal 7 issue.

Answer the question “How do you get started?

because lisarex commented @ IRC: that uservoice isn't really active anymore

I propose to update Help with Drupal Commons section on Drupal Commons project page to be more consice and helpful for folks who stop by - with focus on Commons on D7.

Heh, it would be great to also include more info about Commons 3 in the Project page - at least what people should expect if they try to install 7.x-3.x-dev version - which is most frequent question nowadays.

Actually the section called "Help with Drupal Commons" is still outdated and have several mistakes.
help text
The install instructions for Commons Dev version isn't usefull:

Please note that to get an up-to-date nightly development snapshot, you need to package Commons locally with the command:
drush make --working-copy build-commons-dev.make

I have installed locally the latest drush for d7 and works fine. But when I type this sentence "drush make --working-copy build-commons-dev.make" I have an error message:
Invalid or empty make file
error message

Then I understood I have to download make file from here: http://drupalcode.org/project/commons.git/tree/37965b90a182f578f596f255f9776faf04745c79

Make file

I downloaded from Snapshot link:
http://drupalcode.org/project/commons.git/snapshot/37965b90a182f578f596f255f9776faf04745c79.tar.gz

Then I expanded the file:
tar -xzf 37965b90a182f578f596f255f9776faf04745c79.tar.gz

And execute the drush command from this new directory:
drush make --working-copy build-commons-dev.make

But I still have some errors:
Errors

There is an easy guide step by step to take Commons 3.x dev version for test locally?

aramollis’s picture

My previous link for make file was outdated. The correct link is this:
http://drupalcode.org/project/commons.git/snapshot/HEAD.tar.gz

From: http://drupalcode.org/project/commons.git/tree

Maybe caused because I haven't git installed?
