Hi everyone, hope you have a great winter break.
I was thinking about how we are organized, and I find that, things aren't clear. We need a place to present explicitly what we plan to do, what energy we are putting on and if it will be available soon.
If I ask what are the feature on the launch right now, we have to scroll github, looking at thread, ask people if they still work on it... This can't be okay..
Maybe we should at least define a roadmap and choose what will be available in which version, even if we are not able to put a date on the release.
For example, the single post view which is totally buggy, everyone says that it will be strip / replace by the older version, but who is working on that ? When will it be done ?

Hey, I would agree that a roadmap is quite important, to convince members that diaspora is actively in development.
I've attempted to check out the pivotal tracker on a few occasions with no success?
Why not have a roadmap page on the wiki?

The problem with Pivotal Tracker is that it doesn't scale very well to community development. It's really better designed for small teams of people that are all working together in the same room.
I wouldn't be against using something like Trello for task tracking, but as fla pointed out, we don't want to have too many platforms all at the same time.

Is this really an open issue? I think current structure with GItHub, revamped https://diasporafoundation.org/, Wiki and Loomio is sufficient. Can we close this?

Wilhelm, a 'to do' list or road map is different from Github issue tracker, the project site, or Loomio discussions. It's a tool for strategic planning ahead rather than reactively, making and maintaining a list of the items that are considered crucial to the project's success so that they can be planned, worked on and implemented.

Goob: Understood. But we do have a wiki. Why not use that?

The to-do list is on the wiki!
But a wiki is no good for discussion or proposals, which is what Loomio is good for. Each platform has its own benefits and drawbacks, and we should use each for the things which they are best at.

@wilhelm my message was only to point that I updated the todo list and I encourage devs to add / modify the topics which should be treated in priority.

We already brainstorm about that and we agreed that having too many platforms is not good for new members integration. So github + loomio + diaspora itself should be enough.
