The purpose of the Road Map is to assign issues to a release. Since "Future" is not a version or a release -- but just a grouping of issues for the "future" -- it has little use, and the way we use it tells me we're using the Road Map wrongly.
So you don't think there's value in a category that says "yes, this has been examined and determined to be a valid issue that should be fixed in a future version"? That is what "Future" is. The "Unknown" category is where issues live before they have been verified. Once someone signs up to fix an issue, it gets assigned to a specific version. The reason they're not assigned to specific releases before that is because, without someone specifically signing up for them, there is no assurance that they _will_ be fixed in a specific release. That is the problem we had with Bugzilla - issues assigned to release versions but without anyone having signed up to actually fix them, and that is meaningless. Maybe it's just the label "Future" you don't like? Would "Accepted" or "Verified" or something feel better to you? -- Martin Cooper Now, I believe that's the case, but I am not going to
fight this issue too strongly because it is not critical to anything. I'll go back and look at the archives, but there's nothing wrong with re-examining past decisions. I haven't seen other JIRA projects slating things into a "Future" version -- and probably because it's not a version. Paul
