User:Nlee/Task tracking
Organizational brainstorming, notes, and feedback page for my Independent Research project (create a task tracker that can be implemented on the wiki).
Task/Project Trackers to Investigate
- [dotProject]
- [Tutos]
- [Trac]
- [Bugzilla]
- [[1]] - a list of bug tracking software, there could be useful things in here (to be looked into)
Trac
After a bit of trouble getting Trac set up using my resources (Olin web servers don't use Python, which Trac needs), Andy Getz generously offered to host Trac for me [here]. Having finally gotten it up and running, I will be testing it out and trying to find as many features as I can.
- learn how to generate reports and queries
- get admin access - intsall webadmin package [[2]]
- learn how to configure/customize components
Potentially useable.
Update
Thanks to Matt, I have been able to get a vmware instance of Trac running, so it should be more editable than the other version (and easier to edit). Once a reasonable set of user criteria have been established, I will be doing some basic usability testing with others, to see how easily people can do what we want them to be able to do.
To Do
- finish reading (part five onward is optional)
- continue working with Trac
- get others involved in testing Trac
- scoping out other trackers (optional)
- Python tasks (due Monday)
- types of data: numbers, strings
- how to write functions to deal with these things
- area of a circle
- converts feet to meters
- general conversions (in > cm, ft > in > cm, cm > m, furlongs > mi, mi > km, km > m, m > ft)
