Hi everyone,
I am excited to say that we're running out of tickets in the trac. Most of
the bugs and inprovements are already fixed, so here is the planning I
propose:
As you may know, we're currently on the version 0.1.5. The issue fixes
needed to set it as a RC (release candidate) are:
- Ticket #30: Check all the views in search of inconsistencies regarding
permissions. For a full list of the expected permissions and user roles
please ask me.
- Ticket #50: Fix the calendar module. The current problem is that if the
translation is activated, the jquery calendar module does not activate the
links towards the real calendar that lists the events and viceversa.
- Ticket #55: The debate module does not have permissions regarding the
manipulation of the notes. Everyone can modify the notes and move them.
- Ticket #166: The "Add debate" form. Currently Tamara Atanasoska is
working on it. ATM to create a debate it has to be done from the
administration. Most people asks about "columns" and "rows" and stuff. The
debate module works mostly as a scrum board, you can see an example of a
scrum board here: https://scrumy.com/demo
We expect to have the 0.1.5 release soon (before the GSoC coding period),
unless some other release blocker ticket comes out (at the time of writing
this email a bug in django 1.4 raised).
Once 0.1.5 has reached RC quality we need to start the documentation
update process and the strings translation. The translation is managed
through the Transifex platform [1] and the merging process of the catalogs
in e-cidadania will be handled by myself at least for now.
Search of new features
I think we can start proposing new features to improve the platform.
Currently there are a few basic features that at the end of the GSoC should
allow the citizens to complete a participative process using a determined
workflow (debates->proposals->voting) and that will allow us to release the
0.2 version (the first public stable) by December.
Just think about tools that can be used:
a) In the platform, to improve communications or realtions between
citizens
b) Applications that can be applied to participative democracy, either to
develop new work methodologies, or improve the current workflow.
Features I propose:
- Personal messaging between users
- Possibility of publishing a proposal in a social network (needs
discussion regarding publishing in private spaces)
Best regards,
Oscar Carballal Prego
