GI Venture Software: How to update your %Complete in ~30 seconds

If you are a researcher or developer working on software for the GI Venture allhands meeting on Sept 9-11, 2015 at SESYNC, you need to update your progress on GitHub very regularly prior to the August 26, 2015 Code Freeze.

It only takes ~30 seconds once you know how (takes longer the first time). Here's how:

Go to: https://github.com/ResearchSoftwareInstitute/ginotebook/issues

Select "Assignee" and then select your GitHub user name as shown:

Select an issue assigned to you as shown:

Select the pencil icon to edit the "percent complete" value

Edit the two-digit number immediately preceding the "percent complete" text. It is important to leave everything else exactly formatted as * nn percent complete, otherwise the software that mines this value from the GitHub page will not work.

Select the Update Comment button to save this value

In 5-10 minutes, this update should automatically show up here:

Note that this same link is included in the first comment area of the GitHub issue you just edited.

Make sure to do the above steps for all the GitHub issues assigned to you, and to update the percent complete value each time you make some progress worth noting.
