Okay.  As promised here is my list of propsed changes to Scarab for the
Turbine modules.  Please let me know what you think.  If we all agree on
this, I will lobby the scarab admin(s) lurking on the list to implement
the changes for us.

Issue types:

Remove the Feature, Task, and Patch issue types.  All issues can be
classified as a Defect or an Enhancement.  Patches should always be
attached to a Defect or an Enhancement issue.  

Defects:

Group 1: Summary

Attributes:

- Summary: long-string: This should be a brief summary of the issue.

Group 2: Details

Attributes:

- Description: long-string: This should describe in as much detail as
possible exactly what the problem is.  Information on how to recreate
would be greatly appreciated

- Functional Area: drop down: This is the area of turbine in which the
problem is occuring.  Areas would include unknown, Intake, Scheduler,
core, unlisted service, etc...  This will help record what area of
Turbine are having the most problems.  The user might not really know
what to pick but the developer who addresses the problem will.

- Reported Version: drop down: This is a list of the various versions of
Turbine.  It would include 2.1, 2.2, 2.2.1-dev, 2.3-dev, other.  This is
intended to be the version of Turbine that the user is reporting the
problem against.

- Operating system: drop down: The operating system on which the user is
running Turbine

include only the following values: New, Assigned, Reopened, and closed

- Resolution: drop down: This indicated the final resultion of the issue
if it is closed.  It should include the following values: Fixed,
wontfix, invalid, duplicate, worksforme.

Group 4: Resolution

- Resolution Details: long-string: This will describe how the problem
was fixed.

- Resolved In Version: drop-down: This is the version of turbine in
which the defect was fixed.  This will be the same list of values found
in the Reported Version attribute.

Enhancements:

This issue type will be exactly like the defect issue without the
operating systen or java version attributes.


Also - Add a user attribute type called "voter".  This will show up on
the personnel tab.  People who wish to vote for a particula issue to be
worked on, can add themselves as a voter.  They will also get an email
notification when the issue is updated.
