RE: [ormf-dev] Setting out task
|
Bugzilla is typically where individual tasks are managed, with the usual practice of CCs and dependency links used to keep everyone informed of task state changes. There is typically a default *-inbox alias provided for components in Bugzilla as the default assignee, which allows everyone on the team to watch all new bugs arriving so that they can CC themselves to ones of interest.
So while it's not as ideal as everyone sitting in the same office and having daily interaction, it does work fairly well in distributed teams. It's just a matter of getting used to it and sticking to an agreed upon process. Mailing lists work well for certain things, but as mentioned already, Bugzilla is where the majority of development tasks and discussions traditionally take place on Eclipse projects. This doesn't mean you have to do it this way, of course. There is typically a balance of mailing list, bugzilla, wiki, and conference call activity on projects. Perhaps Mylyn would be helpful to use on ORMF to assist with Bugzilla and task management?

You bring up an interesting subject that does need to be clarified.
What is the purpose of the ormf-dev mail list? It appears from perusing other dev lists of Eclipse projectw, that the list usage is typically of a bureaucratic nature, f.i. votes, releases, etc.. So if we follow this pattern, which is what I gather Achim is inferring, then where do we have team communications? In my opinion lack of communication is a major issue with the ORMF team, so simply delegating task in Bugzilla is going to do little towards team building. Surely we should start having regular (weekly?) team conference calls, but is that sufficient? Personally I do not think so.
I would very much appreciate advice from our mentors on these points.
Thanks,
Joel
