While I agree that in general it would be good to have project milestones triaged by a community process, in this case we have a scope that is well specified by the client and not really up to community will. So I maintain that this particular meeting would be a waste of time.
However, despite that disagreement I'm overruled. So let's have a meeting. I think this meeting is urgent (because yesterday I was unable to answer a question from Ariel about project priorities because we hadn't triaged, so I was unable to do my job as project manager. I realize that this creates an awkward situation and that we are in a transitional stage where responsibilities are unclear.) How does 3:30pm eastern sound for this meeting? side comment - if we have milestones "prior to" 1.0beta, are we going to > close them next week in preparation for the beta release? why not > collapse them all into the beta or, if we aren't actually going to close > those milestones before the beta, mark them as 1.0+ ? > Sure, why not. > On 07/22/2010 01:59 PM, Andreas Hocevar wrote: > > Seb, > > > > since this is a community project, I would definitely consider community > involvement in a ticket triage.
