Suggestion: Time to Use Trello?

2013-06-26 Thread Rodolfo Aramayo
People,

Many projects out there are transitioning to trello

https://trello.com/

I can see how this could help some aspects of MacPorts (not
necessarily replace the great web site we already have...)

Just a suggestion...

What the heck does it do? The website tells me something about
organizing things. There seems to be an app, but also a web page, so is
it a service? Sorry, but I am unable to figure out what this is.

Anyway, how would this be helpful in the context of using MacPorts?

Just reading their website, it's pretty obvious that Trello is simply yet 
another piece of collaborative organizing software.

It is replacement for a stack of 3x5 cards, a couple of magnets and a 
refrigerator. ... :)

While it allows communication amongst people, I don't see that it provides 
any kind of control, for instance, the way in which any kind of Software 
Control System (SCS) does.

It seems that it's primary benefit over a WIKI, for instance, is that it 
includes a more active notification system.

  Changes made by others appear instantaneously on your screen. You never 
have to wait for a page to reload to see the latest.

This feature implies that you use this application exclusively and are never 
doing anything else (like going to the bathroom or getting a drink.) :)

I believe the similar application found in Academia is called Whiteboard by 
MIcrosoft.



All of which is to say -- I don't really see any particular benefit to Mac 
Ports users or contributors.

An appalling suggestion, because Trello is not libre, and cannot even be
self-hosted by the Macports project.
