Roy Fielding said once that participation in a project should be like going to a party. Using JIRA makes it sound more like work than a party.
However, at a party, you can see when I'm heading to the beer keg or game console or who I'm talking to, and maybe this thread is looking for something like that. I have been trying to discuss big tasks before I start them. Do folks want more visibility into what other folks are doing before they commit? Would that increase your likelihood of participation? Would some sort of "what I think I'm going to work on today" email help? -Alex On 1/13/14 10:20 AM, "Erik de Bruin" <e...@ixsoftware.nl> wrote: >Agreed.
