Yes! |

What I'd like to see is: |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
1) Set up a bug/feature/todo tracking system. This should be used |
| 14 |
instead of dev-wiki (or these features should be added to dev-wiki). |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
IMHO this should be _ONE_ system, Bugzilla is perfect for this |
| 17 |
(before you start yelling that bugzilla is hard to learn read below). |
| 18 |
It is good to have all this in one system, a person adds a bug, I |
| 19 |
move it to my todo-list (ie. assign it to me) instead of having to |
| 20 |
manually move the item to my todo-list (if we use dev-wiki together |
| 21 |
with some other system). |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
I vote for setting up a new system (Bugzilla, GNATS, roundup, |
| 24 |
whichever we find the best). The reason for this is that Thread |
| 25 |
(author of dev-wiki), seems to have dropped Gentoo completly. And as |
| 26 |
I've said since before dev-wiki was developed, there will be much |
| 27 |
more work to add features than to disable them (we would just end up |
| 28 |
developing another bugzilla for no gain). |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
2) Remove gentoo-ebuild list, ebuilds should be commited through our |
| 31 |
bug/feature/todo-tracking system. The current setup is insane, where |
| 32 |
Dan has to manually move the ebuilds/patches to portage/incoming and |
| 33 |
add a todo in dev-wiki. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
About Bugzilla: |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
Bugzilla is a set of cgi-scripts. Just because the default setup is hard |
| 38 |
to learn doesn't mean that it can't be made easier. I like the |
| 39 |
default-interface since I've taken the time to learn it (it's very |
| 40 |
powerful). But I don't think that we should require our users to learn |
| 41 |
it. I therefor propuse that we make a couple of simplified interfaces: |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
* Submit a bugreport: An easy interface where you can state which |
| 44 |
package, version, error. |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
* Submit a featurerequest: These gets tagged with keyword FEATURE. |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
* Submit a todo: Set team, priority, what should be done. tagged with |
| 49 |
TODO. |
| 50 |
|

Ximian has such a interface for simple bugreports: |

| 53 |
|
| 54 |
And we can generate nice summarys like: |
