Re: Email to open new task
On Sun, 1 May 2005 01:26 am, Keith gave the following orders: > Is there a email --> new task interface feature in flyspray, either > current or planned? No, but there is an XML-RPC <-> Flyspray interface feature slowly being worked on. > If not, any comments/ideas on the best way to go > about adding such a feature would be great. Depending on whats > involved and if I get time, I'll give it a shot. Any email -> new task system should go through XML-RPC: Email -> your proposed email interface -> XML-RPC -> new task. Note that the XML-RPC "new task" function hasn't been written yet, but I have been meaning to get to it sometime soon(ish). I may just get to it sooner if someone else was working on a feature that depended upon it...(Continue reading)Another thing that stands in the way of your proposal is that there is currently no place in Flyspray to add anonymous users to a task's notification list. This also raises the point - if an anonymous user adds their email address to a task's notif list, how do they then get it removed if they don't want any more notifications? I'm not a big fan of any mail -> bugtracker interfaces that I've seen so far. Personally, I think that it's cluttered and ugly to see a full email (including headers) on a task details page; it makes it hard to figure out the pertinant information. Of course, there is no reason why you couldn't filter out information (eg unnecessary headers) for your proposed email ->
