Currently we are at the beginning of using openFate and are gathering information and experience to make openFate and its usage as efficient as possible. Therfore we propose to set up a team of people engaged in openFate to help maintain movement in openFate and to enhance openFate where necessary.
While I'm neither good at English nor have enough programming skills, I'm very interested in this openFATE structure. No enoug programming skills might be even an advantage and your english sounds pretty good. If someone has ideas or wishes to improve openSUSE, they *might* come true - I think that's the best part of open source project. I'd like to participate the team, if I can be a helpful member. Then add yourself to the page, http://en.opensuse.org/OpenFate_screening_team
What comes in to my mind are things like:
- add documentation (how to use openfate, explain the process etc.) - feature screening (does a feature lack important information, find duplicates etc.) - define the process on how to handle features - call for feature voting in a certain period to make clear which features are of high importance for the community - find areas where openFate should be improved - find people implementing features
Incidentally, I have a question. There are other ways to submit some features now. We already have Feature Wishlist[1]/Package Wishlist[2] on the Wiki, can submit a feature as a "bug - Enhancement" to Bugzilla[3].
[1] http://en.opensuse.org/Feature_Wishlist [2] http://en.opensuse.org/Package_Wishlist [3] https://bugzilla.novell.com/buglist.cg
What are the difference between submitting features to openFATE and submitting them to other channels noted above ? What I am most concerned with is, the difference between openFATE and Bugzilla. If there are some differences, I think they should be clear. Good points and question ;-) Let me start with openFate and Bugzilla. In general Bugzilla looks into the past - existing code which doesn't work or not as supposed. openFate looks into the future - we need a functionality which addresses a certain need. And yes there is an overlap wrt to enhancement bugs. (might be a taks for the openFate team to go
Hi, On Monday 09 February 2009, Satoru Matsumoto wrote: through them and put some of them into openFate). The Feature wishlist in the wiki IMO should be replaced by openFate. A wiki tends to be unorderly, is not very good searchable and of course having 1 place for feature requests is easier to handle then 2. Or when it comes to "first" feature ideas/drafts ideas.opensuse.org might the rigth place (currently outdated and not well maintained). Exactly those are the things our openFate team should figure out and address to make openFate clear and simple to use. Best M
