For those that don't know, the work items syntax looks like this: Collect the materials of my past busybox integration task: DONE Summarise the experience then start to write the presentation: DONE Finish the presentation then sent to Bero for review: DONE Merge the change from Bero (if any), then freeze to the final presentation: TODO Show the slides on Android Builder Summit: TODO Basically, it's: ARBITRARY TEXT: $STATUS So, a text box for entering/editing work items makes a lot of sense for this first step. Also, the text box wouldn't be a jarring change from how people are already using the makeshift work items system through blueprint whiteboards. We can look at something more sophisticated, if that's appropriate, for a future revision. -- Matthew Revell Launchpad Product Manager Canonical https://launchpad.net/~matthew.revell _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev Post to : launchpad-dev@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
