Hello,
Walter and I were thinking of considering a sort of project planning
software, i.e. one that tracks high-level tasks,
goals, and milestones.
Currently we have bugzilla for issue tracking, which is good for bugs
and small enhancement requests. Then we have
github which is excellent for revision tracking and such.
What we currently lack is a sort of a higher level tool that helps us
make plans together, order work items by urgency
and importance, and share with the community what our goals and
milestones are.
Would you want to use such a tool, assuming of course it actually helps
us? And, before I start asking around, do you
know of such a tool?
Thanks,
Andrei
IMHO, we've got plenty of tools in our mix we just don't use them well.
Bugzilla already has several dimensions of scheduling, including
severity, priority, and milestones. Additionally, it's
probably way overdue to apply more structure to the
products/components. I know it's something Don has advocated before.
Wiki is a good document collaboration tool.
The DLang website is a good communication tool, as are the
newsgroups/mailing lists.
Between bugzilla for fine grained categorization of
issues/enhancements/whatever and a page on the website to state high
level goals, I'm not sure what else we really need.
I absolutely agree that we need to have a better roadmap and to execute
on it, just not that another tool is needed or
useful.
My 2 cents,
Brad

While Bugzilla is good at archiving bugs it fails to
provide overview.
I don't advocate to use github's issue tracker but
they have a superb integration of issues and milestones.

If we could get closer to this with Bugzilla that should
suffice.
