Continuing on SDM changes discussion, I'd like to discuss some problems I've seen and propose solutions (I am putting this on a table, so the e-mail format will probably look crappy. My apologies). Note that these are my opinions only, so please speak up:
| Problem |
Proposed Solution |
| Projects are not owned by a team. This (among other problems) causes private projects to be private to everybody, including those that should be working on it. |
Add an extra table to map projects to teams.
|
| Current permissions code does not honor roles |
Fix permissions code to honor roles. |
| Assigning issues to people takes too long. You have to enter name/e-mail, click, wait, click |
Upon issue closing, present a drop down box with names of those in the team AND the box for searching for others. |
| Closing issues one-by-one takes too long and is boring. |
Add text box where you can enter baf numbers separated by spaces, to be bulk-closed. |
| Comments on issues are hard to visualize if code is being posted |
Add HTML option for comments |
| There's no esay way to see which issues have no patches attached to them. |
Add a link that will show issues without patches (suggested by someone else) |
That's all I can think of now. Hopefully we can get this done soon, as I see it as something important for OpenACS (both 3.x and 4.x)
