GreenHopper?

[Knoop, Peter]

While GreenHopper offers some cool functionality, that functionality is
dependent on certain practices in Jira that Sakai has not followed or
deviated from with custom fields, so there would have to be a bit of
education and redesign as part of this.  For instance, almost no one
uses the "In Progress" step in the workflow; issues generally go from
Open to Resolved.  Also, because we have the extra, non-standard "Target
Version" field, (rather than Jira's built-in expectation of relying on
the combination of the Status and Fixed Version to determine if an issue
is planned for a release or in a release), the drag-and-drop setting of
versions in GreenHopper probably won't work quite right.

 

So, if there are features here that you want to use in your own project
we can get it for free.  However, if you're expecting everyone in the
Sakai project to use it, then we should run this by the general audience
first to see if the community is willing to adapt its practices.

Wow, this app does indeed seem incredibly cool from watching the
demo--thanks for the link, Marc! It sounds like we can use it for free,
too, since we are an open-source project. Perhaps we can talk during our
Thursday design team meeting about whether this is something that team
would like to try. The only question I have is whether creating all
design-related cards as separate JIRA issues would clutter up JIRA too
much...but perhaps we can have a separate space in JIRA for design
planning.

I don't think this was on our radar -- at least I didn't know about it.
This looks great based on the video and would save a ton of time
synching jira with our cards.  And even allows us to do some reporting!

 

I wonder if plug-ons fall into the free to open source projects
category?  Peter, including you here in case you know.

 

Thanks for pointing this our Marc!
