Good morning everyone, I just skimmed through the discussion at https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1198465 and I agree with Chris that this type of conversation regarding development that will potentially change the behavior of something as sensitive as billing should happen with a

Hi Chris, Thank you for sending this e-mail! For the past week, I've been mulling over the issue of how we can improve the process of proposing development projects, particularly those that are large in scale or change existing functionality, and to see more collaboration among developers

Dan, thanks for adding this. I was curious about this point exactly, since he states rather bluntly “the bug tracker is a pretty cumbersome place to have a discussion”, which had me scratching my head a bit. I’ve always been slightly partial towards forum-like environments since they have a

[OPEN-ILS-DEV] Shared Maintenance Account for Launchpad?

2014-03-05 Thread Dan Wells
Hello all, Here's an idea I had a while back which I think would make the Launchpad email system more useful. As it stands, the system sends out an email for every little change, and, from my perspective, the more meaningful changes sometimes get lost in the noise. I think we would benefit

Speaking of steering discussions, a plea: if a discussion gets started in a bug, then moves to a mailing list, please add a comment in the bug linking to the thread in the list archives. Conversely, if (say) a design gets hashed out on list, please cite the bug number so that any discussion

As someone who watches/talks development rather than actively develops I have to give a +/-1 to the discussion on list though +1 to Kathy’s suggestions about always recording. This also seems from later emails that this may be more of a discussion about Launchpad being the wrong bug tool or

I am wondering also if there is some way to get a timely response when someone post their ideas for development especially when it means a signficant structural change. I know this is difficult because all of the work (other than contracted development) is completed by volunteers with full time
