Revision as of 13:17, 23 January 2007

This is an early draft and not yet ready for comment.

Milestones

Mylar milestones are released 1 week after Eclipse milestones.

  • 2.0M1: February 16, 2007
  • 2.0M2: March 30, 2007
  • 2.0M3: May 11, 2007
  • 2.0RC1: June 15, 2007
  • 2.0: June 29, 2007

Platforms

  • Eclipse 3.3: Mylar 2.0 and future Mylar releases
  • Eclipse 3.2: Mylar 2.0 will be the the end-of-life for 3.2 branch
  • Requires Java 5 and later

Priorities

Committers will prioritize bugs without external contributions (i.e. patches) in the following order:

  1. API & Tasks framework
  2. Task List and Task editor UI
  3. Task-Focused UI
  4. Context framework
  5. Connector improvements

Themes

Tasks

  • Increase Task Editor information density. The task editor is a very frequent target of interaction, and we need to continue streamlining it. When opened it should show the user the most relevant information with minimal clicking and scrolling required. (158921).
  • Support date view in Task List. A common way of organizing tasks to work on in the current week is by day. We should support this by integrating the Task Activity view's date range container presentation with the Task List. (147084)
  • Support integration with planning tools. Many task repositories have facilities for task planning in the form of milestones, due dates, and other organizations of tasks. The Task List and Task Editor should support such extensions, for example, allowing the Task List to be organized by milestone. (e.g. 152490).
  • Support task dependencies. Many tasks are related to other tasks, whether it's because they should be worked on in sequence or are subtasks. We should make these dependencies explicit in the Task List and Task Editor. (137543)
  • Streamline task creation. Make it easier to create tasks, fork them, or promote local tasks to repository tasks. (154896, 152211)
  • Improve task activity timing. We currently have a task activity mechanism, but it is not explicit enough, and does not capture time spent outside of the workbench. It should also be extensible to OS-specific monitoring. (135668).
