[oslc] Fw: [oslc-website] Simple bug/enhancement trackers?

[Lee J Reamsnyder]

Hello all,

It's been a few weeks since this went out. I've received a few votes for
Rational Team Concert and a vote for JIRA. Most people that have responded
have been interested in anything that supports OSLC, for obvious reasons.

Any additional thoughts? I'll be looking to start putting something in
place around September probably, so I'll keep the discussion open for
another week or so.

Thanks,
Lee

I meant to send to community list as well, see below for my responses....

Those are good priorities but one of the top additional priorities would
be:
0) OSLC support

We should use what we support.  This make require us to invent/invest in
creating some unique integrations but I think one of the things we should
strive for is making our efforts be "model citizens" of our technology
base (linked data) and tools (OSLC based).  I fear that if we make our
decisions solely on short-term cost and speed, we will suffer during
longer term growth and credibility.

Of course "Cheap" is a tough one to gauge, we want to make sure what we do
we get good value out of.  So in some cases this may mean investing to get
greater return.

Let me try to outline all the possible features / usages of a tool I'd
like to see:
1. Spec issue tracking
We currently use these:
   OPEN - indicates that we have no response for the issue yet
   RESOLVED - indicates that we have a response that we believe resolves
the issue
       RESOLVED - indicates it is resolved as by above definition and
edits in the draft specification have been made.
   CLOSED - issue has been resolved and the resolution has been reviewed
by the workgroup
   DEFERRED - indicates that issue will be addressed in guidance after
the specification converges
   TABLED - indicates that issue will be reconsidered at some later but
unspecified date
It would be nice to be able to write queries, have report and dashboard

2. Understanding WG / domain status
A way to get an overview, report, dashboard on WG health

3. Tracking general community issues and topics
Would the website WG use this tracker as well for its work?

It would be great to use something that is OSLC-based and already a hosted
offering like JazzHub http://jazz.net/hub and use RTC.  So those that want
advanced capability they can get it.  We can use OSLC interfaces to
provide minimal information.

Just some quick thoughts.
