Hi! I discovered Fossil recently and just joined the community.
Here: http://www.fossil-scm.org/index.html/tktnew, I see "Important Note: Tickets are for actual bugs only, where 'bug' is defined to be a case where the program gets the wrong answer. Feature requests, documentation typos, and other non-bug tickets will be deleted without comment." Yet, I see some feature requests and documentation tickets dating back to 2008: http://www.fossil-scm.org/index.html/rptview?rn=2 so I am little confused on the best way to participate. I think a ticket system (with filters) is a good place for suggestions such as the three I added: Add support for the SourceForge.net Allura platform http://www.fossil-scm.org/index.html/tktview?name=311671db59 Fossil & Ohloh.net http://www.fossil-scm.org/index.html/tktview?name=0f36ec7790 Fossil & WikiMatrix.org http://www.fossil-scm.org/index.html/tktview?name=cc9fe19879 So perhaps there should be a new type in the drop down "Other" or "General" or "Project Management"? If not the ticket system, I suggest to explain more where each type of interaction should go and why. It's a good idea to have a list of non-code things to do so when someone volunteers, we have a ready-to-go list. I see http://www.fossil-scm.org/index.html/wiki?name=To+Do+List but it doesn't feel like the right place either. Thus, I suggest adapting http://www.fossil-scm.org/index.html/tktnew to something along the lines of: "Important Note: As we want to keep this list very focused, tickets are for actual bugs only, where 'bug' is defined to be a case where the program gets the wrong answer. Feature requests, documentation typos, community improvement ideas, and other non-bug tickets should be made on the mailing list. Following the discussion on the mailing list, your idea/suggestion/question may end up leading to an update of the documentation or to an item added to the http://www.fossil-scm.org/index.html/wiki?name=To+Do+List"; Best regards, -- Marc Laporte http://MarcLaporte.com http://Tiki.org/MarcLaporte http://AvanTech.net http://svg-edit.googlecode.com http://sourceforge.net/p/jcapture-applet/ _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
