Re: [epf-dev] Issues for Friday August 18th General and Overarching Issu

[Ricardo Balduino <balduino@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Steve,

There was an initial proposal and review
related to bug 150707 - Usability of OpenUP/Basic Tree-browser. The
current tree-browser in the published web site captures this proposal.
As a consequence of that, new pages were suggested, mainly under the Getting
Started section. 
I'd recommend us to double-check with
the current list of bugs, to verify if we are not missing anything. My
first cut is:

- 150767 Getting Started  -
this could be the text for the Getting Started node in the tree-browser
- write content for OpenUP/Basic Roadmap
- relates to bug 140019. I'd move this bug from the 'to be reviewed'
category and would reopen it.
- write content for Guideline: Using
OpenUP/Basic - we need to create a new entry in Bugzilla for this.
- Additional Resources: Articles, Training
Material and Presentations, Tutorials and Demos - this may be something
new we haven't captured in Bugzilla yet.
- About page - does it relate to bugs
146450 and 146452?

Please ping me if you have any question
or let's discuss that tomorrow.
Cheers,

Subject	[epf-dev] Issues for Friday August 18th General and Overarching        Issues Telecon

Hello everyone:
 
There is a wonderful _expression_ that goes
“…nothing else focuses a man’s attention like a noose” and right now
after disappearing for three weeks there is a very tight noose around my
neck…sigh. There are currently 35 bugs associated with the General and
Overarching issues. In my view most of these bugs fall into one of five
categories:
 
1)
    Minor issues (e.g. 146494
– index/contents.htm) which could be fixed with fairly little effort.
2)
    Issues which have been resolved
but not yet verified and therefore I cannot close them yet.
3)
    Supporting document and
presentation issues which require significant work still (examples are
150786 )
4)
    Won’t fix, the bug is not
important enough to divert the resources for.
5)
    Not a general or overarching
the bug will not be fixed as a general or overarching issue (a lot of documentation
bugs have ended up here).
 
Of course there are a couple that I have
no idea what they are about….
 
I believe a few of these issues have been
resolved but the bug has not been accepted, nor has it been verified. For
example, I assume that 133269 (“Add stake holder role to BUP) are done,
but have not been moved to resolved yet. 
 
Some of these bugs will not be resolved by
September 30th. For example, 146443 (No examples). Some bugs
like 146489 (Index seems light) could be worked on in our spare time. For
the related 146487 (glossary is light) someone could accept this and act
as a clearing house for updates. Perhaps our buoyant colleague Mark could
take this on now that architecture is done J
 
The challenging work that remains part of
the General and Overarching issues are those bugs associated with creating
and reviewing content for the core principles. During the DC face to face
Jim, Ana and myself began a review of the core concepts. Fortunately this
review suggested that much of what is already written can be simplified.
In my personal opinion, there are three “must have” white papers or guidance
ready with the October release of OpenUP
 
1)
    An OpenUP overview – Bug
150768 (this could also cover bug 150767 getting started)
2)
    A user guide to understanding
the core principles – Bug 147135 (which I have taken on sigh…)
3)
    The look and feel of the
intro page and the overall presentation of OpenUP – Per’s infamous bug
152354)
 
 
Here is my categorization of the General
and Overarching Issues Bugs….
 
Won’t fix can be resolved now….

For a successful telecon on Friday what I
really would like to do is simply keep the call topic restricted to bug
fixing, who will take what. So at the beginning of the call I will ask
for volunteers to accept defects from the “Trivial Issues” and “Requires
Review” categories. It would be lovely if all of these could be resolved,
verified and closed within the next two weeks.
 
If time remains, for the second part of the
call I would like to get commitment on proceeding with creating introductory
and user guide content for October (Intro/getting started, user guide to
core principles, and  Per’s re-architecting bug). I regard these
issues as critical because they influence how OpenUP shall be perceived
and positioned.
 
Looking forward to a productive call tomorrow
and to soon be able to say general and overarching issues are complete.
 
Best regards,
Steve
