Hi Folks
We also talked a fair bit about management tooling at NCAR and NOAA,
recognising that we need to do something to help manage our
collaborative efforts ...
We've discussed the general principles before, but we were discussing
the benefits of trac, jira, etc ... and while we appreciate that at the
GFDL meeting there was a desire to use trac, some issues are know with
trac - not least that it's difficult to manage multiple sub-projects from
one trac instance.
It is important to note that we are *NOT* implying that individual
groups will need to migrate to whatever we use. This is for federation
level activities, and it's likely that individual subprojects which are
already integrated into local management wont change.
The overriding criteria for whatever we used is that it has to be free
and scalable, wth open administration (remote users can administer it
easily).
Desirable characteristics included the ability to have a ticket
heirarchy, and multiple subprojects and milestones.
Sylvia and Stephan have looked into redmine, and are recommending it for
the ESGF level management.
We'll look into that in the NH autumn.
Cheers
Bryan
over and out ...
