Hi all,
I've clone the Glossarist desktop tool repo and started to use it. It
work pretty well on my Ubuntu. Thanks for those working on it.
I would like to understand the workflow behind it and how can we use it
in OSGeo.
1) I've started Glossarist, identified my self with my Github account. I
can browse existent entries and the application is working smoothly. Great!
2) To change something, I must start a change request and make my
changes, right?
3) Afterwards, in my local
~/.config/Electron/glossarist-database/change-requests I have the
changes from my change request.
The folder ~/.config/Electron/glossarist-database is under git control
(setup done by Glossarist).
The remote repos are:
jgr at zoe:~/.config/Electron/glossarist-database$ git remote -v
origin https://github.com/geolexica/osgeo-glossary (fetch)
origin https://github.com/geolexica/osgeo-glossary (push)
upstream https://github.com/ISO-TC211/geolexica-database (fetch)
upstream https://github.com/ISO-TC211/geolexica-database (push)
4) Question: If I want to contribute to the OSGeo terminology, what
should I do next?
Should I push my changes from the command line or there is some button
on Glossarist to submit the change request?
Note: All local files were rewritten and git reports changes in all
terms. I didn't expect such changes. As far as I can understand, git
should report only changes in `change-requests` folder, right?
My local --stats are:
jgr at zoe:~/.config/Electron/glossarist-database$ git diff --stat --cached
origin/master | head -10
change-requests/7a5c63.yaml | 37 +++++++++++++
change-requests/bd20b0.yaml | 61 ++++++++++++++++++++++

concepts/concept-103.yaml | 30 +++++++++--
concepts/concept-104.yaml | 30 +++++++++--
concepts/concept-105.yaml | 30 +++++++++--
Unexpected changes (for me!) are like this one:
jgr at zoe:~/.config/Electron/glossarist-database$ git diff --cached
origin/master concepts/concept-10.yaml
diff --git a/concepts/concept-10.yaml b/concepts/concept-10.yaml

Sorry for this newbie question.
But soon as I understand the workflow, I can write a short tutorial
about how to use Glossarist to maintain and improve OSGeo terminology.

Jorge
