Discussion of roadmap/prioritization of new development +

transparency issues

 
  • Concern on lack of insight. Voting will help. Where is development going? What is targeted to be fixed? Yale's work: How does it fit in? General priorities?
  • Trying to do sprints by like features to maximize effort. Brad has led this.
  • Brad has asked Prioritization group to look at spring_backlog.
  • Voting will give better idea on what will be done. After voting, results will be worked through and posted.
  • Question on why TAC hasn't been more involved prior to vote. The thinking being is that TAC was supposed to be involved.Isn't the purrpose of TAC to help guide prioritization?
  • When are the "big things" going to happen? When will there be a clear idea of how it is coming together?
  • Roadmap hinges on voting.
  • How will Yale plug-in fit?  Plan is to roll-in to core. how not known yet. Considerable work to API for container model. Maybe next Quarter release. Yale work not quite completed. Hoping H-M can help with merge.
  • Consensus is that timeline would be very helpful for everyone.
  • How to increase transparency? There are open call-ins. maybe more insight into springt planning needed.
