Misleading descriptions of MantisBT forks at github

Hi all,

maybe one of the users with appropriate access rights can change the project summary at https://github.com/mantisbt/mantisbt
At the moment it's "Official repository of Mantis Bug Tracker"
This is confusing because this gets also copied as the default summary when forking.

Most of the users forget to change the description after forking.

https://github.com/davidhicks/mantisbt 
https://github.com/jreese/mantisbt
https://github.com/rombert/mantisbt
...

Also confusing "Official mirror of Mantis Bug Tracker on Github"

https://github.com/vboctor/mantisbt
https://github.com/grangeway/mantisbt
...

IMO "Mantis Bug Tracker" is enough information at this place and not misleading.

Cheers
Roland

I think we should consider becoming a mentor organisation. Opinions?

Cloned bugs on the tracker

All,

Today, SL-Gundham moved a whole bunch of issues from the E-mail 
reporting plugin project, to the main mantisbt project.

Having a look at a few of them that seemed familiar, I realized that 
they were duplicates, so I started marking them as such.

Then I realized that there were more than 20 of them, all of them cloned 
issues, that occured on or around Nov 23, 2011. All of this happened 
around the time when a user "belfar" mass-updated these issues with a 
note "teste".

In all cases, the cloned issue had not been touched since that day 
(except for the project move mentioned above), so I decided to delete 
these issues from the tracker to avoid clutter.

www.mantisbt,org/bugs for tests

Maybe one of the administrators can set this user to VIEWER
http://www.mantisbt.org/bugs/view_user_page.php?id=22687
He does not stop reporting test issues

Contribution towards adding template support to master

Hi,

César Izurieta (copied on this email ) has posted a couple of diffs
and a screenshot which represent the progress towards implementing
templating for the master branch. I've taken the opportunity to post
this to the mailing list, for further exposure.

I for one believe this is a great opportunity which we should pick up.

http://www.mantisbt.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=20000#p47232

César: you might need to register to the mailing list to post replies,
so be sure to do that.

Robert

"Dashboard" plugin as a customisable My View

Hi,

I've spent some time over the holidays to learn how to do a Mantis
plugin, and packaged the hacks I've made to the "My View" page of our
own installation into a separate "Dashboard" plugin:

- Displays boxes with issues, mostly re-using My View page code
- Uses "saved filters" for the boxes, instead of code-based filters.
- Has a plugin config page to specify how many boxes per row, and which
saved filters to display in which order.

The code is on github: https://github.com/rolfkleef/mantisbt-dashboard

It's a rough cut, version 0.1: it works for us, in Mantis 1.2.8. It can
probably be expanded to per-user or per-project views, and certainly
needs a review on coding standards and security.

- Thanks for the plugin architecture  It was easier than I thought!
- Feedback is welcome, patches and pull requests too.
- If it meets the requirements, I'd be happy to move it under
https://github.com/mantisbt-plugins/

I've also briefly looked at what "My View" issues are in the tracker
right now: a couple might be solved by such a plug-in, and I still need
to look better at some others. And, the Scrum Board plugin lookes really
cool, as a project dashboard in addition to a personal dashboard.

More later...

Thanks,
--Rolf

One more try - aye or nay

Dear all,

I guess you're more or less getting used to my sending walls of text
regarding the future development of MantisBT and all that. I will try
and summarise my thoughts and present a simple, short, proposal.
Hopefully this will be on your mind during the following weeks:

1.2 theme: stabilisation

We need to gather all corner cases and unexpected behaviours in the
application, and incrementally deliver fixes for them to 1.2 . That
does not mean fixing all 1100 bugs, but aggressively focusing on small
bugs and releasing 1-2 such versions, we can 'get back in the loop'
and focus on quality. This includes my commitment to set up a CI
environment which runs our unit tests, SOAP tests and hopefully soon
browser-based tests using selenium 2.

1.3 theme: where do you want to go today?

We have a zillion things which we can do for 1.3/2.0/whatever. We
can't do them all. We probably can do very little, but let's do the
ones that count. I am willing to prepare a survey, perhaps similar to
the git user's survey and spread the word about it. Let's find out
what our users want and what makes them unhappy. And then we can focus
on delivering a couple of features for this version.

Think about it, but not too much  and let me know what you think.
This applies to developers but as well to users. I would think that
your feedback is much more important than ours.

Robert
