Hey everyone<br><br>I've been thinking a lot about opening up Nepomuk development. Right now it's mainly just Sebastian and I working on their own private list of things. Quite often we do not even know what the other person is working on.<br>
<br>This obviously has the effect of it being really hard for Nepomuk to get new developers. They cannot see what is being worked, and hence find it hard to contribute.<br><br>We tried maintaining a list of who was doing what last summer [1]. But it was too much effort, and not quite detailed. That's probably cause we were using a wiki, and wikis are annoying for these kind of things.<br>
<br>One possible solution that we start adding more of what we are doing on bugzilla, while that can be a little annoying. It would help a lot. The new bugzilla interface is quite nice, and the non guided mode for reporting bugs is quite clean [2].<br>
<br>Additionally, from what I know Trever Fischer is currently developing a pretty amazing program for accessing "Bugzilla Tasks" from the terminal. I've seen a little bit of it during Akademy, and it seems fairly simple to use. He should release it pretty soon.<br clear="all">
<br>The advantage of having everything in bugzilla is that we can group them according to their component [3], and have nice hierarchies by making certain tasks depend on other tasks. Also it would be the central place to discuss issues relating to that particular issue.<br>
<br>It would also be nice if we could create a new mailing list - nepomuk-bugs to which all the Nepomuk bugs by default are assigned. (Quite similar to Telepathy). It makes listening in to bug reports a lot simpler, and when someone is working on a task they can assign that bug to themselves, and work on it. This way, we do not step on each others feet.<br>
