Caroline, I utterly agree, it should not be limited to development and was not my intention, though from re-reading the posting, it is. Will definitly change this once it get's tipped.

Your description would fall under *need funding*. Maybe I'm too conservative here, but unless the client has committed himself to it, it would need funding. OTOH, if you are fairly sure about it, just put it under *in development*. But maybe we need to think of a new state, after all.

Jade, the TIP of Dirk arrived due to the discussions about the bazaar and the need for getting information on what is happening in the various packages. I do not want to get a structured approach, which is why the proposal is called Bazaar. It should facilitate easy and spontaneous collaboration and idea exchange. In this it might not be structured enough for a status page (as per TIP #28), especially if the move is going to integrate it into Bugtracker.

In any case, Dirk and I are heavily coordinating on this (the idea has been in our heads for about three months already), I just not wanted to make a huge ammendment on the TIP.

Once openacs.org has been upgraded I'm willing in helping the jumpstart of the bazaar.

This is a great idea Malte.  I'd be willing to put some time into it if it is approved.
