I do think it is good to adapt some of this template to features and
tasks in Redmine to urge better definition and updates, but I really
want to keep one definitive place for features and tasks.
That sounds reasonable, so I took a look at how we could move the audrey
example[1] into redmine but I got a bit stuck:
- are you suggesting that we'd file an issue on the Feature tracker
and then file child issues for each remaining tasks on the list?
- I'm not too keen on putting all this stuff in an issue description,
since it wouldn't be editable - a lot of it is high-level
documentation that should be updated as things change during
development. Perhaps the issue should just link to a wiki page?
- this template I put together is for much higher-level features than
I'd expect to see as Redmine Features - e.g. the audrey feature I
wrote up should map to quite a few Redmine features
- Audrey seems to be using Versions as a way of grouping related
issues. I don't think you're suggesting creating a Version to
represent a feature?
- Audrey's Redmine seems to have gone very quiet over the past few
months after an initial flurry of activity. If it's all gone very
stale, it's not the most inviting place to put this stuff
Perhaps the best thing would be for you to blaze the Redmine trail with
Image Factory's features for the next release?
Cheers,
Mark.
