Hi Alexey,
C) We talked about creating "bite size" tasks for new DIG members to be able to
act on when they join, or for members that do not yet have the more advanced technical
skill like knowing AsciiDoc. (Using Launchpad for DIG is the approach that is being
considered to help keep track of tasks big and small.)
Using Launchpad could be better than nothing, but IMO a tool that has even some
basic project management features like timeline/deadline tracking, task
assignments, Gantt, calendar, RSS output, etc., could help clarify what work
needs to be done and reduce barriers for participation. I suggest a more
careful evaluation of tools available before such a commitment is made.
I personally am partial to Launchpad since it gets everyone working in
the same place. I'm not quite sure what the barriers of participation
are, but it might also get more people comfortable submitting reports in
Launchpad, which then might lead to more people submitting bugs for code.
However, I agree that this would be the best time to evaluate other
tools if we think they might work better. Do you have some tools you
would recommend with some pros and cons for using them in favor of
Launchpad?
Kathy
