Changing short names[change-short-names]

Should be able to fix short names with typos and so forth. e.g [prioirtisation] in this project.

CSS in Internet Explorer[css-ie]

The CSS for this site is currently screwed in IE, let's work around that.

Deadlines[deadlines]

Should be able to associate a deadline with an item. Will require some sort of build up to this, or a tiered set of suggested (by the user), confirmed (by the dev) and possibly more levels.

Desires[desires]

It should perhaps be simpler to categorise tickets into things that are:

  • wishes or desires (the what would I like to be possible)
  • concrete features (how a desire or bunch of desires are sated).

This ties in with [links]

Folk pages[folk]

There should be user pages (under /folk/ to follow the local convention) which list a user's

  • requests
  • responsibilities
  • commented-on tickets

and anything else we can think of.

Status: open
Links[links]

It should be possible to link requests within a project, tagged with short description of why they are linked.

Ideally this would include structural information about the link too (dependencies, duplication, &c).

Merging requests[merge]

Possibly a special case of [links] but would want more plumbing, to make clear what conversations originated where, and avoid dead links. (Should it redirect or present the old ticket and yak about where it has gone?)

Status: open
Change notifications[notifications]

Need a way (by email, RSS, other) to keep track of comments on requests you have been involved in (editied, created, commented on)

Status: open
Prioritisation[prioirtisation]

Should be able to prioitise items, initially based just on dictation by super-users (perhaps with some voting later).

Ideally, would be possible to prioritise desires, and for these to filter through to linked features.

Status: open
Proper <title>s[proper-titles]

Current dopey bug means the <title> isn't set properly on any page - it just comes up with 'Requests : '.

Status: closed
Time estimates[time-estimates]

Let people who are responsible for sorting requests out attach time estimates (either in developer time or in wall time) for how long they'll take.

Bigger fan of doing it in terms of effort, rather than wall time as I see the process as:

  1. identify requests (wishes and desires)
  2. start voting on how much they matter
  3. figure out how to address the requests (concrete, implementable features)
  4. give them estimates of effort, declare how much effort is available (perhaps with some serious error or range)
  5. continue voting and put a big line down the page below which is stuff that won't get done (anytime soon), given the current priorities.

Useful front pages[useful-front]

The front page should bubble up more information about what has recently changed.

Similarly, the front pages for projects should make filtering for recent changes easy.
