TRACKER/FLYSPRAY: When and How to use it

[rgleason]

David, good idea. Either under Feature Requests thread or separately, but feature requests would be better I think.

[rgleason]

Frequent voters help to determine User Priorities. (Not necessarily Programming Priorities)
Three items have made it to Feature Request Vetted list
OpenCPN::OpenCPN00 Ocpn Feature Req. Vetted > 4 Votes: Tasklist

FS#1152 : AIS DSC Support DSC Initiate Call

FS#1102 : UI Option Ship Tab Boat Data- Draft, Speed, Clearance, Displacement

FS#565 : AIS Small Enhancements - (from Opncpn 2.4)

Their "Severity" has been readjusted to Low or Medium

Also are few Feature Request Orphans whose owners who have not claimed their "free" vote. These look pretty lonely down at the bottom of the third page of the list.
OpenCPN::OpenCPN00 Ocpn Feature Requests: Tasklist
Note that some of these items have been "Unconfirmed" and just a few lucky other ones are being worked on by the developers.

19 Vetted Feature Requests - one added - Vote for what you want.

[rgleason]

It is unlikely anyone has voted for Feature Requests in the last month. Also there are at least 10 recent tasks entered with Votes=0. This means the OP did not even vote! How in the world will any of these items get "Vetted" if even the OP does not vote?

Also there no items which need to be moved to Vetted this month.

NOTE: Feature Requests are not Bug Reports.
Please do not make false bug reports. Bug Reports should be entered into the respective Opencpn Version Number or into the plugin.

Thankyou. Serge & Rick

Tracker now has about
14 with 4 votes (that's good but 5 counts ---> vetted features)
13 with 3 votes (ok but its not going anywhere.)
15+ with 0 votes (dead in the water)

Dear OpenCPNers,



Just a quick overview on the requests portfolio :
403 pending items with more than 70 requests with a no vote status
Questions :
- is there any sense to keep them all ?
- shall we start a new clearance session ?

Please have à look to all your requests and ask for their closure if needed.



Thanks

Serge

What happened with Flyspray? I tried to report a bug and it told me I don't have sufficient permissions to open a new task.

[rgleason]

Fabbian, are you registered? Have you logged in? --I thought you'd made flyspray entries before, so you should be able to add a new Task. I just checked & it seems to be working for me. Do you see "Logout" and "Add new Task"?
Thanks.

[fgd3]

Yes, I am registered and I was logged in. I have added new tasks before. Yes I see "Logout" and "Add New Task" buttons.

My problem with the Tracker has gone away. I was able to add a new task this morning.

Hello,

Is the registering to the tracker closed for now? I tried to sign up end of last week but did not receive the code for completing the process.
I am simply impatient? ;-)

Thanks

Under Feature Requests we have 8 "BUGS" some of them may be "false" bugs.
If it really is a Bug (related to OS and OpenCPN versions) , shouldn't it be located in an OpenCPN version? Are some of these FALSE BUGS?
- Will someone please test these and move them to their proper locations, change to Feature Request, or close them?

OpenCPN::OpenCPN00 Feature Request: Tasklist

Also we have
151 Feature Requests many of which will never be executed.
37 have 0 votes
56 have just 1 vote

One way to quiickly shorten this list is to ignore the bottom 93 requests.
