Todo Lists
|

----------
|
||
We need some way to organize tasks to be done (tiddlywiki, testsuite, ...?)

Description

~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||
Cehteh::
|
||
``I want something which doesn’t need much human care and I want one big `milestones' thing
|
||
and a small `mini-task' thing''
|
||
|
||
Ichthyo::
|
||
could be refined as as `Roadmap' and `Near time task list'

Discussed in the link:{ldoc}/devel/meeting_summary/2008-03-06.html#_idea_todo_lists[March.2008 developer meeting]. +
|
||
We decided to use a TiddlyWiki for now until this is further worked out

|
||
|
||
....
|
||
|
||
.looking back at another era...
|
||
What shall I say, just Whew! 😖
|
||
|
||
For context, I can recall that _Cehteh_ had a very pronounced aversion against bugtrackers
|
||
(and especially Bugzilla), because they are just plain confusing, filled with obsolete
|
||
information and last but not least, they create spurious work without being helpful
|
||
for the developer. Wouldn't it be much better to put everything into the code or
|
||
close to the code (as markup in comments)? Git would propagate this information
|
||
to the community of other contributors, which would decide about what is viable,
|
||
just simply by merging or not merging -- and some clever tool could watch the
|
||
resulting commit stream and extract the minimum necessary accounting to
|
||
supply the developers with that amount of information
|
||
they need to be actually productive....
|
||
|
||
.State -> Dropped
|
||
Lumiera is quite another kind of project today. There _is_ a https://issues.lumiera.org/[Bugtracker],
|
||
and I need all kinds of meta-tickets, tags, overview lists, the content in documentation pages plus
|
||
my own personal notes in several mindmaps just to cope with the sheer amount of information and not
|
||
to forget about matters already decided and settled.
|
||
|
||
_All this meta-work takes a considerable amount of effort,_ for sure. +
|
||
Yet the question remains, how can I ``keep track'' without keeping track?
|
||
How can I judge and decide, without actually performing the judgement to arrive at a decision?
|
||
Would it make any difference to this dilemma, if ``someone else'' were to perform that work??
|
||
|
||
Can this kind of immaterial mental work be conditioned and commodified into an industrial process,
|
||
so that the individual person might side-step the effort, yet sill remain a sovereign?
|
||
|
||
[purple]#I do not know the answer to this question.#
