Yip, that's along the line of my method. To make things more interesting, we don't backport features until they're upstream. My plan was: * Pick a blueprint * Assign yourself * Remove the 'backlog' milestone * Work on it * Send it upstream * Mark the status as 'Blocked' * Get approval * Mark the status as 'In progress' * Assign to the next monthly milestone (as it's now back under our control) * Backport, release, close out the blueprint So: * If milestone == backlog, then it's work to be done * If milestone == None and assigned, then it's in progress * If milestone == None and status == Blocked, then it's pretty much done but blocked on upstream * If milestone == monthly then it's almost there -- Michael _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~linaro-project-management Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~linaro-project-management More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
