E.g., a > multidesktop project that may have many issues to track? No, we're talking about tracking the Board's discussion of whether to accept the multidesktop spin. That's one issue, which would be perfectly suited to being tracked in trac...if the people *proposing* the multidesktop project could access the ticket. All the various issues involved in implementing the multidesktop spin which are being discussed (I think incorrectly and counter-productively) here could be tracked as separate tickets, either in trac or Bugzilla, depending on the preferences of the multidesktop developers. But those aren't Board issues, so it's not a problem, because they wouldn't need to go into the Board trac. > > Basically, as long as there's no issue tracking system for Board issues > > that non-Board members can access, there's a deficiency that Wiki pages > > can't solve, and it *does* lead to all the issues Christoph identified > > (confusion, the same discussions happening five times, non-Board members > > having no way to know exactly where a given proposal stands and what's > > needed to move it along, and so on). > > I don't understand > > The Board is being looked to for approval, not to do the work.

As I said, what we need a system for keeping track of is the process of the Board approving (or otherwise) the project. This is the sort of thing the Board uses its trac instance for anyway, right? -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ advisory-board mailing list advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/advisory-board
