Perhaps on a more mundane level than project management, a simple workspace for collaborative text would be very useful. We had been talking about our own PiratePad/EtherPad instance - someone did have one going, though there were some issues with access (I guess these things have to be administered = more work). I have yet to find anything more convenient than PiratePad for throwing together ideas together and collaborating. Its downside is security, it's out there in a very open cloud space.
Yes, I'm thinking that moving into something more project-orientated is going to take more effort and slow the pace down at this stage. So I would tend to agree that while we figure out a longer-term project management strategy, something in the short term is probably the way to go.
I've noticed a few people using GoogleDocs also.
As an intermediate solution, would you be able to use a management tool of your choice to maintain your own overview, importing/exporting information/lists/calendars to Google Docs?
I can do that. I can also see if there's an easy way to set things up so the list can be exported (each Vibe page has its own unique URL, so if I expose my setup over the 'net, maybe I can just feed it in using RSS or something like that). That way we don't stall because we're figuring out how to manage the project. :) I'm happy to use Google Docs for something like this in the interim, though as Pascal said, project management isn't necessarily the same as file sharing. But it's a step towards keeping momentum going. I'm off work tomorrow (contract has been suspended due to a delay at the client), so I'm going to take some time tomorrow to gather the information from the ongoing threads and start seeing if I can put together a high-level WBS that we can start filling in with more specific tasks. Then we can find people to work on the tasks and keep the ball rolling. :) Jim -- Jim Henderson Please keep on-topic replies on the list so everyone benefits -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
