The new Roller roadmap

Tonight, I'm working on moving the Roller Roadmap into <a href= "http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/roller/Dashboard.jspa"> JIRA.

I have changed all of the 'Bugs' links on this and the other Roller pages to point to JIRA, but I was not able to disable the bug tracker at SourceForge. If you know how to do this, please tell me the trick.

Jeff Duska on the vision thing

Jeff Duska has posted his thoughts on the future of Roller. He has some interesting ideas on CMS-like features and slick client-side blogging UIs for the roadmap.

And Jeff: I should have told you to use macros.showEntryPermalink(entry) - my bad.

Atlassian's Legendary Service

Yesterday I woke up to find an AIM message from Mike Cannon-Brooks offerering to set up JIRA for Roller issue and bug tracking. Today, I woke up to find an AIM message on the screen from Mike informing me that he has set us up and that he has already entered our SourceForge bugs into the system. This is awesome! Take a look:

  • <a href= "http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/roller/Dashboard.jspa"> Roller Issues and Bugs - powered by JIRA
  • <a href= "http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/roller/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?pid=10000&tempMax=25&view=rss&reset=true"> RSS feed for Roller Issues and Bugs - powered by JIRA
Thanks Mike and thanks to Atlassian. This will make it much easier for us to manage and prioritize our "roadmap" feature list and our bugs. From what I've seen, I think we will also learn a little about good user-interface design in the process.
