Should we eventually aim at introducing democracy to other repositories? Chaosbot could then watch other repositories as well, so we can offer democracy as a service!

I'm thinking out loud:

  • User grants access to GH account
  • Enables chaosbot for repositories
  • Settings are read from .chaosbot.json/yaml file in root of repo
  • Chaosbot now watches this repo (either polls/listens to events) with users API limits

(a bit like travis does this)

Some considerations:

  • All of a sudden performance and security becomes super important (i.e. scalability, being able to read private repos)
  • Users might not want automatic merging (but instead use Require status checks to pass before merging GH setting for example)
  • A web frontend with detailed voting statistics would be nice (status checks can have a Details link)

Long term goal 🌈

😉

The VPS Chaos is hosted on has limited processing power and bandwidth. I think Chaos should serve as a demo for an democratic PR system, which other projects could fork.

@loks0n we can upgrade when needed!

Using events instead of polling (#397) would greatly improve bandwidth and VPS usage, making this much more feasible.

I think out main problem is API limits, not processing power and bandwidth

@phil-r if end users authenticate with oauth2, then requests are made on their behalf and will inherit their rate limits.

I like this, because then I can use ChaosBot as a UBI non-profit CEO without having the entire ChaosBot project go in that direction

On a more serious note, having a separate democracy bot/service for a project could actually be a good idea if the project owners don't want people to be able to suggest changes to the code that powers the democratic system, even if they can suggest changes to the democracy service config. Maybe ChaosBot could be used as the basis for this?
