This looks great Valerie, congrats to all of those involved in making
the web app! I hope that it leads to less questions/confusion.
Here are some minor comments, mostly about including some links/docs.
* Under the which packages we have access to, I noticed that it's not
showing the experimental data packages. I guess that's because they
are not in git yet (right?).
All software, data experiment and workflow packages are in git. You should
be able to see all associated with your account. One of the goals of the app
was to make package access more transparent which could help explain why a
`push` or `fetch` failed. We match your email to the username we have in the
gitolite packages.conf file. When I search packages.conf I see your username
on these packages:
~/git.bioconductor.org/admin/gitolite-admin >grep -B 1
'master.*collado-torres' conf/packages.conf
repo packages/sva
RW master = j.leek l.collado-torres
--
repo packages/derfinder
RW master = l.collado-torres
--
repo packages/derfinderHelper
RW master = l.collado-torres
--
repo packages/derfinderPlot
RW master = l.collado-torres
--
repo packages/regionReport
RW master = l.collado-torres
--
repo packages/recount
RW master = l.collado-torres
--
repo packages/recountWorkflow
RW master = l.collado-torres
If there is a package missing that you should have access to let us know.
Also let me know if this differs from the list you saw when you were logged
in.
This matches what I saw when I logged in. The only data package I've contributed to Bioc is derfinderData. We haven't had to make any changes to it in a long time as you can see at https://github.com/leekgroup/derfinderData. I don't know if that played a role in the package not showing up on m list. My email is there on the DESCRIPTION file though https://github.com/leekgroup/derfinderData/blob/master/DESCRIPTION#L7.
* Under add an ssh key, the second option mentions "username.keys files in your GitHub account". I hadn't heard about this before. Is that file made automatically by editing https://github.com/settings/keys? If there's a website that describes this in more detail, I suggest including a link to it. Yes, this is the standard keys file and is edited through github account settings. A link has been added to the github HOWTO page: https://help.github.com/articles/adding-a-new-ssh-key-to-your-github-account/
I like the change, it's much clearer!
* I've seen several emails where Nitesh and others ask developers to check their SSH key using ssh -T git at git.bioconductor.org, so maybe adding a reminder there would be good. Actually, maybe just include a link to http://bioconductor.org/developers/how-to/git/faq/ from this new site. By the way, that last link is not directly available from http://bioconductor.org/developers/ (I think), I had to go to http://bioconductor.org/developers/how-to/git/ then "See other frequently asked questions." I've added a link to the FAQ.
Nice! By the way, I just noticed a typo on http://bioconductor.org/developers/how-to/git/faq/ bullet 17: git clone git at git.bioconductor.org:packagse/<myPackage> packagse -> packages
Since the FAQ is specific to version control it probably still belongs under developers -> Git Source Control. Maybe we could change the title from 'See other frequently asked questions' to just 'FAQ' or something more obvious.
Ok! To me it's really the "Git / ssh Bioc FAQ".
* Typo: "Which packages do I have acces to?" --> access Fixed.

The Web App for managing SSH keys is now available at https://git.bioconductor.org/BiocCredentials/ Accounts have been created for all package maintainers. Note the central identifier, i.e., how you login is your email. This email was taken from the DESCRIPTION of your package or the Google Sheet if you registered a key there. When you first visit the App you'll need to activate your account. An activation link will be sent to your email. Once your account is activated you can login. Trying to login without activation will lead to an error. Let us know if you have any questions or problems. This email message may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information.
