[OPEN-ILS-DEV] JSPAC removal blockers, what and which are they?

[Peters, Michael]

As Mike R suggested, I've created a simple Google form where you can rank the 15 "missing" features from 1 to 15, with "1" being the most important feature to your organization.  We'll give everyone some time to rank these, then average the values to find the rankings of importance.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dHNXYVpXZ3NtWnFoYWN1RlN0TThIOEE6MQ

Enjoy!

Sincerely,
Mike Peters

Mike,

If you were to set up such a thing (maybe just a google form?) and hijack any bug-specific threads with a reminder of it, I think that would be great.

Another crazy idea...

What if we surveyed everyone and allowed groups to rank importance 1 to 10 (or however many we have) and then we could aggregate an idea of which features people see as the biggest impediment to upgrading so developers can work on those highest ranked first?

Example:

Bug Name                           Rank Importance (1 to 10)
Spell check is missing            10
Copy Location Search is Missing   1

Dan,

I think your flu-influenced idea is great.  I do believe that Launchpad is an impediment if you want more opinions and anything you can do to put the word out over the General Discussion list will get a much wider audience.

Maybe a little JSPAC backgrounder email to explain to non-devs what is in the works would help generate some interest as well....

If adding comments to bugs in Launchpad is a barrier for participation
(having to sign up for an account, etc), then posting to the mailing
list would be helpful too, IMO.

Also, in the unlikely event that Kathy and Ben missed something that
matters to you in the current round-up of missing features, feel free to
raise that!

Dan

P.S. crazy flu-influenced idea - we could push one JSPAC removal bug to the
mailing list each day to solicit feedback, so that everyone is looking
at the same bug at approximately the same time...
