Tracker, you know, is yet using the GNOME cvs for development and this
mailing list.

There are other facilities that we could use, we should use.

### GNOME Bugzilla ###

We really need a bugzilla entry to track bugs, patches, suggestions and
other. Do it on mailing list is good, but bugzilla is better.

 

Yes! Please setup the bugzilla entry. We also need a few people to triage bugs to sort through the duplicates and such.

http://live.gnome.org/Bugsquad/ForMaintainers explains how to ask for a
bugzilla entry. Simply, you have to add a bug report under
"bugzilla.gnome.org". I could file it, but maybe is better let Jamie, as
brave project leader and maintainer, do it.

Of course the product name in bugzilla database will be "tracker", as
the cvs module, but we should define also some components. I think we
need at least:
     * general
     * doc/documentation/help
     * indexers
     * database/trackerd (?)
     * console tools
     * GUI search tool

But we need a webpage so...

### Project Webpage ###

As suggested in the link in the previous page, if a project uses GNOME
CVS it should have a webpage under http://www.gnome.org/projects/

I think we should use this space to put all info and needed stuff; the
www.tracker-project.org domain could link here, no need to buy
webhosting space.

All the info how to add a project webpage under
http://www.gnome.org/projects/   are in the README file in
http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/gnomeweb-wml/www.gnome.org/projects/

Anyone with webmastering-fu to build it?

 

Again, we need this. I did the initial design for the current tracker homepage (www.gnome.org/~jamiecc/tracker/) but I did it in php and I don't think the gnome servers handle php, so I exported into html (firefox -> save page as), but now its a huge mess of outdated static pages.

 

Lets have a contest or something. We really need a decent, up-to-date webpage.

### Project Wiki ###

Here is http://live.gnome.org for us. How could be use it?

 

I'd suggest putting in a basic "Tracker" page (http://live.gnome.org/Tracker/) and making any further tracker wiki pages as sub pages of that one. (i.e. roadmap -> http://live.gnome.org/Tracker/roadmap) Sound good?

### Other ###

Any other stuff from gnome.org we could use?

 

Can't think of any. Thanks for summarizing this.

Cheers, Luca
