Hi, Here is what I took from our discussion yesterday:
Blueprints are somewhat lacking for our needs (such as having no advanced search interface), and workitems are even more lacking. We have the ability to use bugs linked to blueprints rather than workitems, and could have linaro switch to using that exclusively, rather than the whiteboard approach. However, there are a few things that would have to change to allow that to happen. Firstly we would have to convert all the whiteboard workitems to bugs, which we can do fairly easily with an API script. We can also make something like that script available long term in order to allow for engineers to easily file the bugs they need when creating a new spec. This is something from 2 days to 2 weeks work, depending on what we want to provide long-term. If we do this there are further changes that we would like to have, such as - Search for bugs attached to a blueprint - Reassign bugs from a package to a project - Displaying status of bugs on blueprint pages - Displaying milestone target of bugs on blueprint pages If we decide to pursue this I will ensure all those bugs are filed and attempt to escalate them through the launchpad stakeholder process. In addition there is a desire to add effort estimation and recording to bugs. Rob estimated this to be 1-2 weeks work, which the Infrastructure team can take on if it is a high priority for Linaro. Rob will draft the LEP for this, and ask for your input (LEP is Launchpad's term for their specs) I have just created a meeting tomorrow afternoon with the techleads to discuss these issues. I would like you to prepare a pitch to get agreement in principle from them to pursue these (or other) changes, and to discover other things that would need to be done before we could switch. If we have that and the consensus is that it is important for linaro then the Infrastructure team should be able to have these changes made by the end of this cycle (assuming that the scope doesn't grow too much during the discussions.)
