Kudos, Daniel! Great idea. Question 1: How can RMs add release data if they aren't PMC members? (This might be answered by your most recent message.)
Questions 2 & 3: Do the chart timelines advance week-by-week or month-by-month? How often is the template refreshed? The #emails sent "in the past 3 months" and "in the previous cycle" confused me -- does a cycle mean a reporting cycle or just a moving 3-month period? As a longer-term suggestion, could the submitted reports get pumped back into the Apache Reporter Service and displayed for public access, charts and all? 'Cuz I'm naturally curious about other projects. -- Lefty Leverenz On Tue, Mar 3, 2015 at 2:58 PM, Daniel Gruno <humbed...@apache.org> wrote: > > > On 2015-03-03 23:09, Christopher wrote: > >> Pretty cool. >> >> A couple of suggestions: >> >> 1) if the release dates could be kept up-to-date from versions marked in >> JIRA as "released" with a date ( >> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO/? >> selectedTab=com.atlassian.jira.jira-projects-plugin:versions-panel), >> that'd be really cool. >> > There is now a link called "Fetch releases from JIRA" which will fetch > release info from there :) > > With regards, > Daniel. > > >> 2) If the system could send a reminder about upcoming report deadlines, >> that'd be cool, too (maybe even expose them as ical, so we can see them in >> any calendar app). >> >> 3) It'd be really neat if one could fill in the missing bits into a field, >> and click "submit" to email directly from the interface. >> >> >> -- >> Christopher L Tubbs II >> http://gravatar.com/ctubbsii >> >> On Tue, Mar 3, 2015 at 5:50 AM, Daniel Gruno <humbed...@apache.org> >> wrote: >> >> Hi folks, >>> as some of you will have noticed, either by the commits I just made or >>> conversations going on elsewhere, I have started work on a new helper >>> system for PMCs called the Apache Reporter Service.
