Hi, Thanks for the tips and patience, we've been a bit overwhelmed with this release.
We usually prefer having valuable info in the ticket, sometimes this means having the discussion there. That way when someone is doing the ticket has all the information in one place and can give feedback on the evolution of the feature/bug fix in the same place. There are other more general things that are better discussed in the mailing list. We have changed the description of the ecosystem to state that there can be development discussions [1]. Again, concerning the tickets and the rss. You can do your own queries in the Issues tab of redmine and save them. After the query is made (and maybe saved) you will have an atom link that you can add to your rss reader. I'll give you a couple of tips for issues filtering: * When we are studying an issue to be added to the roadmap we set the "Target version". * When the status changes to assigned it means that it will be probably added to the next version, that is, is in the roadmap. * A ticket with and assignee but status new means that someone is checking the feasibility of inclusion. The assignee guy is probably the one to bug if you are interested in it. I get all the tickets in my inbox but is probably too much for most people. We are preparing an IRC session soon so keep watching ;) Thanks again, Cheers [1] http://opennebula.org/community:mailinglists On Mon, Apr 29, 2013 at 6:05 PM, Simon Boulet <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Javier, > >> You may use the development portal to make feature requests, just open a >> new issue and label it as Request. >> The issue will be used to track the discussions about the new feature.
