I'm cleaning out my mailboxes; this is a little blast from the past. Might stimulate some inspiration here. Or something. :) ----- Forwarded message from [email protected] ----- Date: Fri, 23 Jul 1999 09:58:25 -0400 From: Jon Parise <[email protected]> Reply-To: [email protected] Subject: [whups] More design thoughts To: whups list <[email protected]> Alright, it looks like my mind is still in the design phase. Here are my latest thoughts: Whups is a project management system, so, at the highest level, we have a project. At this point, I think it's best for whups to support only a single project at a time (eg. the Horde Project). Projects are composed of products. In our case, imp, horde (core), troll, turba, etc. are our products. Most of what we focus on is at the product level. Products - Versions - changelogs - Bugs - Feature Requests - Developers Things like CVS, documentation, and FAQ's are composed of multiple products. So, that's where my thinking is at the moment. There a sort of heirarchy there. I guess it would be straightforward to just write the thing, but I want to make sure it's expandable enough to apply to projects other than Horde. You'll note I mentioned documentation. We're kinda lacking in that area, and I think it would be neat to include it as part of whups. Multiple people could contribute to or revise documentation in an online browsable form, maybe linked back to cvs. phplib is handling all of the session stuff / user auth stuff nicely, so I'll just use whatever chuck comes up with for that. Once again, I think bugs should be the first subsystem to be implemented. I still need to work out all the database details. I started some of that last night. I'm going to go pick apart some of the existing code to support this structure, but, once again, comments are requested. -- Jon Parise ([email protected]) .
