A fair question, what do we need? It's a bit hazy, which is probably why I'm having a hard time finding something, but the general outline is: - help desk style requests: "I need X installed on a laptop before I go in the field this summer", "Dooamahickey gives this error when I attempt to open ..."; problem reported by..., assigned to...; resolved at ...; etc. - knowledge base docs: "How to install X", "Standards and Procedures for..."; docs needed for...; this doc is [complete | in progress | a mess| ...]; - Product Catalogue, specifically maps: "Env.059 - Finlayson Caribou Herd Survey, March 2007; 1:00,000 scale, base topography + survey polygons; corner coordinates: X,Y - X,Y; client: John Smith; etc.; [thumbnail]; [pdf]" - Project tracking: "Env-dat.028 - Acquire base data for ...., build seamless mosaick, put in shared departmental repository"; initiated by..., assigned to...; due date; finished when ...; results at ...; working data at...; supporting scripts and documents...; parent/child projects; project is [done | partial | abandoned | hibernating]; etc. Many projects result in maps (Product Catalog) and system documentation (Knowledge Base); Many maps result in one or more projects. It can be important to know the relationships. For instance when a new dataset is updated many downstream maps will need to be re- issued, and likely some docs too. It may be that we will, probably will, need more than application to track these different tasks and items. It sure would be nice if they could be accessible from a unified starting point, and globally searchable. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Trac Users" group.
