TODO List

I see very little use of milestones in GitHub. 0.0.3 has 3 open tickets and 0.1 one.

Imo more delegation + use of milestones would solve this issue at hand.

I don't really see the point of another to-do list. The workflow could be:

suggest / discuss new ideas on loomio, merge successful proposals / good ideas into github issues. Decide on a roadmap (aka milestones), then move tickets into milestones.

Downside is: too many tickets might mess up the focus on a milestone. Maybe milestone and tags like p1-3 for priority and "beginner" (as already used) would be helpful.

+1 for the current system and let's make better use of existing platforms.

Speaking of: e.g. for this beginners issue there's a volunteer. How could he be assigned? Only admins can do that? Sure we could also wait until he delivers some code, but why not assign him and have that info that this issue is assigned available in the overview?

As @flaburgan said, Github issues and milestones are good for development but they're not suited for other stuff like Translation, Communication, Legal issues, ...
A wiki page might enough but we need something to list everything we have to do, who's working on it, what's been done, ...

This info should be easily accessed from the http://diaspora-project.org/ web page.

A bit like this page : http://libertreeproject.org/roadmap/

but with some more info such as a simple progress bar (with indication of time).

That would be a good communication arguments to tell that D* is not dead if people can see the progress this way because not many things have changed since one year for D* (at least from the user perspective) : same bugs, same lack of features…

from the dev-perspective the github milestones are enough. (yes, there simply isn't any more going on, than you see in the current milestones - apart from open pull requests).
Apart from that, I'd rather not start using another tool, until we really need it.

Okay so I simply created a page on the wiki. @seantilleycommunitymanager I could be a good place to keep trace and progress about what is done :)

Here are some bugs which need to be fixed because really annoying. It's these bugs which keep this impression of non stable in Diaspora.

1. Send profile update (the profile of a person is not the same from different pods : one did not receive an update) #3976

2. Pictures are not always federated with posts Loomio discussion #3940

3. The stream does not contain every posts of every aspects #3786

4. Refactoring the single post view Discussion on loomio, #3942

I think we should focus on these bugs and if we correctly deal with all of them, Diaspora can be announced as v0.1.0.0

I'm happy to help squash those bugs. C= Could somebody link me to somewhere I could read up on the federation protocol?

you can find a lot of useful info on wiki.diaspora-project.org

I would look at Pivotal Tracker http://www.pivotaltracker.com/ or the open source clone: Fulcrum http://wholemeal.co.nz/projects/fulcrum.html
I really like the idea of piles of things (Icebox for anything, Backlog for things that are ready to be worked on, and Current for things that are in progress).
