Hello, As developers come and go, and as Bacula gets larger and larger, and is now being used at the Enterprise level, I am more and more feeling the need to have a better way to keep the status of developer's efforts and a better way to communicate among us.
In working on promoting a professional support service for Bacula (more about that probably mid-July), I have experimented a bit with RT a ticket tracking system. The more I look at it, the more I think it would be appropriate for "tracking" developer's efforts. The basic idea is that each developer would have access to the Bacula RT system, and would create and respond to ticket items that describe their project and the various stages they are in their project. Primarily this would be for developers, but there might be a way to give a certain public view of the overall project status. If you are familar with RT, I would appreciate hearing your comments about this proposal. If you are not familar with RT, you might want to take a look at their site, though reading their documentation and viewing their screenshots is not quite the same as using the system. For more see: http://bestpractical.com/rt I'm currently in the process of setting up a Bacula RT on my server where developers will be able to try it out. If any of you have experience using RT in any context, but particularly for development coordination, I would really appreciate to hear about it. Best regards, Kern PS: If you are a Bacula developer and you have any objections to this proposal or particular direction you would like it to take, now is the time to speak up. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
