I've recently made a few significant changes to the FCREPO Tracker and thought it would be good to share them here. This information info will eventually work it's way into the Developer's Wiki:
- Wider Access: The FCREPO Tracker now allows issues to be submitted from anyone in the community. Formerly, we experimented with having these go to a separate dedicated tracker , but this proved confusingfor community-submitted issues, but decided it'd be best to track everything in one place and improve the issue workflow instead (see below).
- Wider Scope: Fedora, GSearch, OAIProvider, and DirIngest are now listed as "Components" within the FCREPO tracker. These are all releasable products within the Fedora Repository Project. As part of this change, I made the JIRA "Versions" for the project more specificproduct-specific (e.g. "GSearch 2.2"). This makes sense because each product has it's own release schedule.
- Improved Workflow: Issues now start in the new "Recieved" state, rather than the Open state. The distinction is that Open issues have been validated and determined by one of the committers to be in-scope. More specifics below.
