Hi,
Here are some thoughts on how to achieve a better transparency for both
Geronimo 'users' and Geronimo 'developers':
1. Create a Wiki page 'future plans' (or similar) where a rough release
time frame, new features, deliverables, compatibility with earlier
versions etc. are listed (like:
http://www.eclipse.
org/org/councils/PC/platform/eclipse_project_plan_3_2_2005_02_14.html).
This is targeted at interested Geronimo users, IT managers etc.
We definately should be aiming to have everything in JIRA (even non coding
tasks such as these suggestions, so we remember to do them and know who is
working on them or plans to work on them).
Geir, are you planning on taking the items in your roadmap (
http://geronimo.apache.org/roadmap.html ) and creating JIRA issues for
them (if there aren't ones already created) and assigning them to versions
in JIRA? I think if we could do that it would open up discussion on
priorities of the items. It would also allow users to vote on issues
through JIRA.
The high level Wiki roadmap ( http://wiki.apache.org/geronimo/RoadMap ) is
useful, but it probably needs to be structured so it is associated with a
version, so one can see what the status of M3, M4 etc is. It should also
be moved to a more obvious (and higher profile) location than under the
"Developer information" heading on the Wiki.
Sorry guys, I must have overseen the Wiki roadmap, I actually had
something like that in mind :-). The roadmap.html must have been updated
recently because I remember last time I saw it there was only the link
to the dev-list.
2. Add a 'Road Map' link to the Geronimo Jira where the release version
(eg. 'M4') lists all open (and fixed) issues as well as a release date
together with a progress bar for this release. (something like the JBoss
Jira offers:
http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS?report=com.atlassian.jira.
plugin.system.project:roadmap-panel)
I think this could provide a 'bridge' between the Geronimo development
community and the outside world. Also, it would demonstrate that the
community is alive, which is a little untransparent if you don't
subscribe to the dev-list.
I think this is a great idea and backs up what I was trying to say in
http://wiki.apache.org/geronimo/DevelopmentAndReleaseProcess about the use
of JIRA's roadmap feature and users being able to see where things are
heading.

Who is familiar with 'tweaking' Jira, so this feature can be included soon?
Thoughts?
