Forum .LRN Q&A: Release manager report

Collapse
Posted by Tracy Adams on
Hi everyone,

I'm back in the states and now focusing on dotlrn. (As far as eLane, Rocael and I are waiting for some respondes from the other partners and then he'll be posting stuff).

I'm attaching a document that show the bugs that are labeled as "required for Sloan upgrade" by Dee. About half of them are assigned.  The ticket tracker does a lot of automatic tracking and reminders - this works to some level.  I'll be using and updating the "priority" buglist as a way to push forward the bugs that are important but also escape this process.  There are about 30 bugs currently and this list will evolve.

As far as the assignees, I'll be following up with those that are assigned (about half).  For the ones that are not assigned, I'll try first for the package owner and then work from there.

The release?  At a chat a few weeks ago, we had a long discussion about what and how we should do about the the release criteria.  We went back and forth and also called in Joel and finally decided to release at about the time Heidelberg launched.  Carl was going to check with the other university that was going to use the release in the short term (Manheim) and make sure they are on board.  Since then, there are a few other high-priority things (getting some of the translations into CVS, allowing students to post to the bboard bug).  When these are done, the release will be cut.

As noted above, there are still bugs that Dee has identified for making dotlrn 2.0 upgradable for Sloan and I expect others will come along.  We'll be continuing to fix these bugs and release point releases.

We also expect to be formallizing release (and other criteria) for future dotlrn release as the consortium builds.

Just got an update from Peter and yesterday he updated the catalog files in the source code using files from the translation servers.

http://xarg.net/tools/cvs/change-set-details?key=2D2753FFBFCF5CB902EE6D34361050918B65AC4A

Just had a quick chat with Andrew about the forums bug and a solution is on the horizon (he is working on it now and said he was planning to post more about it soon).

So we are really close to release based on what Tracy wrote above. If all goes well we might have .LRN 2.0 out this week.

Yes, probably I'll have a more detailed info about e-lane next week. BTW, we might go through some of those bug next week, since we'll have some openacs sessions here ;o)

Please set "Fix for Version" to .LRN 2.0 for these bugs to make them easier to track.

To Joel's request. These are bugs that should be fixed for .LRN 2.1 (or 2.0.1). After talking with Joel, I made a tag "fix for .LRN 2.1" and I've also labelled the bugs with "fix for .LRN 2.1". The list is here.

Not all the these are assigned yet. These are candidates for fixing if you are working on bugs.
