Hey- We currently use the keywords field to represent ticket state. Things like "commit", "review", and "needstests" (or is it "needtests" or why not simplify and just make it "test") are significant to us. Other users of trac have other things in mind when they see the keywords field. They write things like "fix this darnit" or other words that describe the ticket for them.
Proposal: We use the "Severity" field of a ticket (currently not used) to represent the ticket state. This is a dumb word for ticket state, but the field has a fixed vocabulary. Then we add words like "commit", "review", and "test" - and those become options in a drop-down. Of course users will probably still set those willy-nilly, but at least we wouldn't get arbitrary words in there. Guess it would make sense to have a default "in queue" state or something. No biggie if others like the keyword slop. I can put up with it. Tim _______________________________________________ Dev mailing list [email protected] http://openlayers.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
