Re: [Jgeneral] bug/feature request tracking
This looks good. Something to bear in mind for the future - Github repos have both issues and projects. At some point we might have issues = bug reports, and projects = proposed new features.

What you are doing here is great. A video would be a bonus. On Tue, Sep 14, 2021 at 9:43 AM Michal Wallace wrote: > Okay, I've made a start.

Re: [Jgeneral] bug/feature request tracking
Okay, I've made a start. Will resume tomorrow. I'm doing a lot of manual wiki->github cleanup in passes, so apologies if you guys are getting a bunch of unformatted emails. (I decided to record the process and talk through the bugs, so I'll probably post a video of this after some editing...)

Re: [Jgeneral] bug/feature request tracking
I am better informed now and see that your suggestion has great merit. In particular your offer to 'do all the ... work' :) You have the blessing of Jsoftware, I can't imagine anyone being opposed, so full speed ahead!

Re: [Jgeneral] bug/feature request tracking
I'm not sure if I agree with the idea that it's only for quick items.
It's pretty common to see links to long, involved github-issue threads on
hacker news.
In any case, I posted a feature request for discussion just now. :)

Re: [Jgeneral] bug/feature request tracking
Will be interesting to see who weighs in on this. My first thought is that the difference between the github list and the wiki list is a bit like the difference between stackoverflow and the forum. The wiki makes more exposition easy and allows the idea to develop. The github list is more oriented to problems that are simple to state and relatively simple to fix. We need to do more with github and the expected way of doing things. But it would be a shame to lose the power of wiki. Would be nice to somehow have the best of both worlds.

[Jgeneral] bug/feature request tracking
I suggest we take this: https://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/System/Interpreter/Requests ... and migrate everything here: https://github.com/jsoftware/jsource/issues Pros: - permalink to issues (currently the link breaks when moved to "done") - issues can be assigned, searched, etc - can be associated with pull requests / code reviews on github - can be marked as "easy" or "help wanted" to encourage outsiders - commit messages can auto-link to the issue - free and fairly standard for github accounts - github accounts don't require manual setup (vs j wiki accounts) Cons: - requests would no longer show up in j wiki search - requestors would need a github account - might be other options that are even better - inertia? Thoughts? (I am happy to help with / do all of the migration work, if people aren't opposed to the idea...) -- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
