I am no Jira expert, but i gather that we can define our
own "screens" and over-ride defaults, etc. Good luck.
I cannot find a way of changing the default screen, it only appears
possible to configure screens that deal with individual issues. The JIRA
docs don't help either.
The only way I can see of addressing this within JIRA is to create
projects for each of the plugins and make them a part of the Forrest
group. This seems like way too much overhead at this stage in the project.
A workaround would be to create our own report page using the
projectInfo plugin. This would replace the page we have that links to
the issue tracker at present [1]. This would then include direct links
to create a new issue and a set of specific searches, such as important
issue in core, issues scheduled for the next release, blockers across
the whole project etc.
to do this we need to:
- create the page to appear in our site (in projectInfo)
- create the reports we want to produce (in Jira)
- create the XSL to convert the JIRA XML to XDoc
- add the processing to projectInfo plugin
I think that we are getting to the point of making this work worthwhile.
It is certainly in line with the original goals of Forrest and would be
very useful across Apache as a whole (especially if we leverage the
possibility of creating lists of Apache projects).
It also has the advantage that we won't be sending people away from our
site to see the proposed roadmap and known important issues.
What do people think? Shall we create an issue for this and work on it
when we can?
