 I assumed that owner was the same as maintainer same as developer. Tom tells

 either case the team leader is officially the owner but often someone else
 takes on the owner duties that is not tracked. The other option at his
 work is cc list for those who want to know what happens.
 Language is complicated, and I speak English as a first language, must be
 hard for our friends who speak English as another language to work out what
 is going on with these titles.

Yes, all the webapps we use have different terms for the roles, I'm
afraid we cannot do much better than document it clearly in the wiki
or so unless we fork them.

My guess is that Seeta wants to track which of their developers may
work in a particular issue in the future, without actually taking
ownership of the issue. I interpret being the owner as I'm working on
this right now, so if you start working on it we may end up doing
duplicated work.

In any case, I think Seeta needs to explain what their intention was
with this change, and the other organizations that are as well putting
people to work on Sugar tickets are also welcome to do the same.

On a community level, I don't think its right to assign a specific
developer to the task. Anyone is welcome to come along and post a
patch.

If SEETA want to add their internal metadata to the tickets they
should use the keywords field. e.g. add keyword seetadev:Ishan

+1, I think using key words works quite ok. I have been handling it the 
same way with OLPC-tickets. And people can put themselves in cc when 
they are interested in a bug.

That's how I interpret it as well. But then a single Developer field
(which would supposedly only take a single value) wouldn't work as
other organisations might want to assign one of their developers.

 In any case, I think Seeta needs to explain what their intention was
 with this change, and the other organizations that are as well putting
 people to work on Sugar tickets are also welcome to do the same.

+1 on both counts

 A change that I think can be made without asking first is the addition
 of the 1.0 milestone, but I think we still need to agree on the
 meaning of moving a ticket to that milestone.

You are faster to complain than I can write an email about the change. :-P

 The addition of Seeta-specific fields needs to be discussed before,
 because we have other organizations working together in Sugar Labs and
 some amount of coordination is needed.

+1, I was quite surprised by it, but expected it to have been agreed
upon by Aleksey, Simon and you. Seems that wasn't the case.
It's OK if Seeta uses our bug tracker (especially since inter-bugtracker
integration is still in its infancy in general and not supported by
Trac at all AFAICT), but it would have been nice to discuss this on
systems@ first (or at least announce it).

[Sugar-devel] changes in trac and others

2010-10-04 Thread Tomeu Vizoso
Hi,

have seen that recently some changes have been made to trac outside
the normal adding of users and components.

I would like to request that when making those changes, that the list
was notified, if the change is presumed uncontroversial. If the change
has a broader effect (such as adding a field), please ask in
sugar-devel first for opinions.

A change that I think can be made without asking first is the addition
of the 1.0 milestone, but I think we still need to agree on the
meaning of moving a ticket to that milestone.

The addition of Seeta-specific fields needs to be discussed before,
because we have other organizations working together in Sugar Labs and
some amount of coordination is needed.

Note that mentioning it in #sugar is not enough because not everybody
is always present and because the channel is not logged.

For other services, please notify the list as well when your changes
will affect the other people's work.

Regards,

Tomeu
