TRACKER/FLYSPRAY: When and How to use it

[rgleason]

All Projects, sorted by task type, with bugs at the top..
OpenCPN::OpenCPNAll Projects: Tasklist

Including all plugins listed, there are about 130 "bugs" listed. Most of them are related to plugins. It is likely, many of these listed as bugs are unconfirmed and may not actually be bugs. At some point, Users should make a effort to sort out which ones are actually bugs, close the others, and then try to get the bugs fixed.

[rgleason]

Users have "vetted" 21 Feature Requests by voting for particular feature requests they would like.

When we started the "vetted" feature requests, we advised that when the number hits 25, the number of "Votes" required will increase (probably to 8).

Its been awhile, but there are only 4 more "vetted" in 5 votes, before the increase occurs.

Flyspray @2177 needs to be marked as available in the latest beta but I can no longer log in. Apparently my password has been invalidated and there seems to be no mechanism to reset it.

[rgleason]

@TDan what is the user name that you used?

[transmitterdan]

Same as my CF username I believe.

[rgleason]

Dan, I did a search on "transmitterdan" and came up with about 6 tasks. Then I tried to register you under "transmitterdan" and was told that the user already exists. I went to "Events" and selected "Users"/"Created" and tried searching for you by clicking on each entry, but that was too lengthy and I gave up. I don't really have access to the ACL or User accounts.

I believe you do have an account and that it exists. Do you know the pw?

[transmitterdan]

Flyspray allowed me in today.

[rgleason]

There are 3 new items with greater than 4 votes. We are going to raise the bar for Vetted feature requests to 5 now.

So keep voting.

[rgleason]

Have added to the vetted list two tasks with multiple requests totaling greater than 5:
- Sync settings, routes and waypoints in various ways: between two opencpn instances, with tcp net ports, plot a wpt from a nmea wpt sentence, etc
- Time UTC, Local, and so as to allow planning mode.
