Hi all, To help us move forward on Dovetail I've suggested that we first take a step back and consider/agree upon some basics that will I think help us focus the Dovetail effort more effectively. https://techdiscuss.opnfv.org/t/organizing-dovetail/82 was started for that overall goal. Because it's unclear to me exactly what tool the team prefers to use (and what may be the most effective tool) for such input/discussion/consensus, I've suggested that we use a variety of tools as need be, for the various aspects of this discussion. Here's a summary and links:
For example, I submitted https://jira.opnfv.org/browse/DOVETAIL-345 to help us "drive consensus on the high-level test areas for the program to address, first release and as a roadmap". But whether JIRA is a useful enough tool to develop that consensus in detail is TBD. So when Lincoln asked the question " how to drive this collaboration / input" in that JIRA issue, I responded with the below: I don't think that https://wiki.opnfv.org/display/dovetail/Dovetail+Test+Areas+and+Test+Cases covers the priorities at the right level. I would rather have a fresh look at this, using a collaborative-editing tool ala Etherpad or a threaded conversation tool ala https://techdiscuss.opnfv.org/. I have for example created a couple of sub-pads of https://etherpad.opnfv.org/p/dovetail to start the discussion: * https://etherpad.opnfv.org/p/dovetail-principles * https://etherpad.opnfv.org/p/dovetail-priorities Discussing such a set of views in a threaded conversation can get very difficult to follow. But any aspects of this that are controversial should be discussed in https://techdiscuss.opnfv.org/ as discrete topics first, and we can agree on the etherpad to take the discussion there as needed. I'd like to get your opinions on this as a more useful way to organize the discussion (and of course, your active participation in the discussion!), i.e.: * We use JIRA to manage the things we need to agree upon * Collaboratively edit an etherpad page related to the subject * If aspects of what the etherpad covers need a deeper/threaded discussion, we can note that on the etherpad and move the discussion to https://techdiscuss.opnfv.org/ until we have consensus, which we can then document on the etherpad * Once we have reached an adequate set of consensus points, we document this in the JIRA issue and close it. Thanks, Bryan Sullivan | AT&T
