Is this a case where Jira can help? The SF issue tracker is difficult to use. But if there was a more featureful and easier to use issue tracker, I'd want to see all these tracked in Jira instead of notes on a wiki page that will quickly become unwieldly. > This will both > speed up the release process and provide a nice convention location > to track the issues and get appropriate feedback from our user-base. > > http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php/DSpace_Release_1.4.0_Notes > http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php/DSpace_Release_1.4.1_Notes > http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php/DSpace_Release_1.4.2_Notes > http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php/DSpace_Release_1.4.3_Notes > http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php/DSpace_Release_1.5.0_Notes > http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php/DSpace_Release_1.5.1_Notes I like the URL structure. One of the nice things that Jira provides are automatically generated Release Notes (as well as Road Maps), that could be copied (or directly included?) to/by the wiki. > <snip> The changes document could be produced via the Jira Release Notes. I'm not sure if Jira can produce a Release Notes document per component, however, that should be relatively easy to customize. > What are the developers (and more explicitly the commiters) opinion > on this topic? To sum, I don't think users should be entering issues on a wiki page, but I think that it is feasible to do so in Jira. The reporting features should help reduce the pain associated with maintaining various CHANGES documents. Elliot > > > Sincerely, > Mark Diggory > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > Mark R.
