------------------ Additional Follow-up Comments ----------------------------
Naturally I'm satisfied with any good solution
that makes it clear to people where the feature requests
should go. This goes for project maintainers
and people having (technical) feature requests.
Sf of course does not have the best interface,
I'm ready to use a better one on Savannah. :)
E.g. one problem with sf's choice is that you cannot easily
shift an item from bug to feature request.
However many people do knon that sf interface already
and subsequently ask: Where should my entries go then?
This is the usability backpack we are carrying.
I believe that having prepared, optional,
separated links to view bugs and features request,
even when they are in the same tracker are a needed
improvement. I don't know the best place for this links
nor the best implementation for this "feature"
and I appreciate your design efforts.
You probably will add a description on how to handle
feature request somewhere and this will be useful to
other project maintainers then.
=================== BUG #4619: FULL BUG SNAPSHOT ===================
Submitted by: bernhard Project: Savannah
Submitted on: Mon 08/04/2003 at 15:47
Category: Wishlist Severity: 1 - Enhancement
Priority: None Resolution: Works for me
Assigned to: yeupou Status: Open
Fixed Release:
Summary: Add a dedicated feature tracker.
Original Submission: So far an explicit tracker for features and wishes
would be a plus for savannah. Here is a link to my
question for this
http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/savannah-hackers/2003-01/msg00631.html
It might the case that I can configure the current system
to have something similiar, that separates wishes and bugs
using areas and customized bug reports. Then it would help
to have that documented or even prepared.
(According to the "Contact Us" page this hopefully is
the right place to make this wish.)

I asked around me what others may think about this proposal and in fact we
reached the conclusion that, even if it's technically possible, it would
probably creates more confusion -- and also it would waste precious space on
the top menu.
The fact that SF.net made this choice does not really of this choice a good
idea (I'm not even able to understand what they mean by "RFE").
Basically, the "support request" purpose is to be the place where users post
theirs questions/wishes/problems about the project. So creating a new tracker
just for wishes, even if it makes easier the life of a few persons, risk to
truly confuses the others.
Basically, when a wish from a user is accepted by the projects members, it
becomes a task, managed by the task tracker.

Ok. I think it should be possible. I'll try to see.

I think that preparing links on upper levels
to limit the bug view to feature requests is needed then.
Alsoo the defaults that the bug links will not show the feature requests.
I always made the destiction between a "help" request:
"Help we to do this?" which usually is a general question
wanting and answer and a feature request or wish.
The former can be mapped to "support", but the latter
might be much more technical in the range of a detailed
thing to do.
Having categories without prepares separation
would not help enough, IMO. :)

Hi,
It will work like the bug tracker right, where you can easily browse by
category, search by category.
bugs / patch / task / support request will all be completely separated. But a
wish is usually a support request of one major category, isn't it?
-------------------------------------------------------

It is hard to judge if advanced categories will do the job,
because I don't know how this will work.
It should be possible to view the bugs and feature request/wishes completely
seperated from each other.

We'll soon have advanced categories in the support tracker. Wouldn't do the job
in an efficient way?
