Preferred method to discuss wiki changes?
On other wiki's I've contributed to, there is often a discussion method. I'm happy to help with changes, but being new to ROS I second guess whether or not these changes would be helpful or even accurate. Is this site appropriate, should I be doing this on the discussion forums, other?
As an example, I stumbled on this question about ROS_INFO_STREAM
and actually don't think it's a horrible question in principle. I'm quite new, and was looking for a handy equivalence table between ROS_VERBOSITY_TYPE
and equivalent rospy.logVerbosity()
calls using python. In looking through the wiki on logging, I think it would help to provide the base format up front:
ROS_VERBOSITY_TYPE
As it is, a beginner has to figure out that DEBUG
in all of the examples could be any of the other verbosity levels. Also, I noticed that the intro says:
roscpp uses the rosconsole package to provide its client-side API. That API takes the form of a number of
ROS_
macros:rosconsole provides four different types of logging statements, at 5 different verbosity levels, with both printf- and stream-style formatting.
I think the "types" are what are spelled out next, but this yields a list much longer than 4: base, named, conditional, conditional named, once, throttle, delayed throttle, filter.
I could make various changes to remedy this... but it helps to have confirmation that I'm not just experiencing noob confusion and the things that don't make sense are legitimate. Thanks for any suggestions.
