[RkWard-devel] Plugin status tracking

[Thomas Friedrichsmeier]

Hi!

Well, the new policy is for new plugins to go to under_development.pluginmap, 
first. Now, that it's time to start thinking about the timeframe for the next 
release (I'll write a mail on that, soon), we need to find a way to 
coordinate testing efforts.

Maybe the wiki is a good place to do this. I have added a new page:
http://rkward.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php?title=Development_Status_of_Plugins
and added some status information on the plugins I'm currently working on, 
myself. Maybe you could also add yours to this.

The idea is
a) the author (or whoever is currently active on that plugin) adds an 
indication, whether they think the plugin is complete ("Status: Complete"), 
and when they last tested it themselves. Status: Complete means: "I think 
it's good, and I do not intend to change anything in the near future."

b) once a plugin is marked as "Status: Complete", others should start testing 
it. If there are problems, write to this list, or contact the author / 
editor. If you can not find any problems, add a line
** Tested by (when): name / YYYY-MM-DD

c) once a plugin has been tested by several developers it can be moved to the 
correct .pluginmap, so it will be properly included in the next release. When 
doing so, it will be moved to the "Plugins recently included" section in the 
wiki.

Does this sound good to you? If so, please start adding status information for 
your plugins.

Regards
Thomas
