Hi, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
Right now we lack a consisted aggregated source of project status. Some |
| 4 |
projects report their progress via website news, some use various |
| 5 |
mailing lists, some don't report status at all. I'd like to propose |
| 6 |
a new method for publishing an opt-in 'status whiteboard' for projects. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
The idea is to create a special template on wiki. The projects |
| 9 |
interested in publishing their status would use the template to put it |
| 10 |
on the page. As a result, besides being published as part of project |
| 11 |
page it would be aggregated for machine processing. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Then, we'd create a simple aggregated listing of all projects publishing |
| 14 |
their status. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
The exact data reported is unspecified. For example, it could state |
| 17 |
the current releases, what the project is currently working on, etc. |
| 18 |
The primary purpose would be to let users and developers know better |
| 19 |
what's happening inside Gentoo. The secondary purpose would be to |
| 20 |
provide a quick health check. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
What do you think? |
