Yes, you're right -- I am personally very fond of mail/news and dislike editing things in the textarea fields provided by web browsers (Firefox or whatever). My news/mail-reader has a better editor, better threading and a better address book than any web forum I have seen. That is also why the webpage is built from .txt files instead of some Wiki system, and why I have added the mailing list to Gmane where you can both read and post via nntp (usenet). People can actually post to the list from a webpage if they want: http://post.gmane.org/post.php?group=gmane.comp.cryptography.viff.devel It's not that I wont discuss these things -- back when I was the only contributor to the project I simply figured that I might as well setup things the way I like them... :-) >> Trac also seems very aimed at integration with the revision control >> system, and it started out by supporting only Subversion.

Mercurial is (together with Git and decentralized revision control systems in general) the next big thing. Mercurial is used by Mozilla, OpenJDK, OpenSolaris, and Git is used by the Linux kernel among others. I really like Mercurial and I think it is much superior to Subversion (or any centralized revision control system). >> I actually quite like the ideas in Trac, but it seems more >> heavy-weight to setup than Roundup. >> >> .. __: http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracMercurial > > What I like in trac, is the ability to batch features into > mailstones and automatically see you progress. Okay, then we'll see about making something similar in Roundup! :-) What about using this scheme as an approximation: we put all the issue for a given milestone into their own milestone, and then make a query that groups by milestone. That should give you a view like this: milestone-0.5 42 Fix bla 45 Bug in foo milestone-0.6 40 Fix bla for 0.6 38 Update foobar ... One can see the progress by how the milestone-catagories shrink. > Anyway, I don't think trac is perfect in that aspect anyway, so > let's just stick to roundup as it seems the more effective choice. Okay, cool! I'll setup tracker.viff.dk (unless people have a good suggestion for another name?) to host Roundup. -- Martin Geisler _______________________________________________ viff-devel mailing list (http://viff.dk/) [email protected] http://lists.viff.dk/listinfo.cgi/viff-devel-viff.dk
