+ | Developer with similar interest or looking for projects to get started in Evergreen adopts an idea. Changes the status to “under development.” Idea moves into | ||

+ | Step 2. User searches percolator - **you can do some basic keyword searching in Blueprints.** | ||
+ | Step 3. User submits the idea, also using tag or category to identify cases where the user is willing to contribute funds, but is seeking co-sponsors or is planning to fund it, but is first seeking community feedback. - **I don't see much opportunity for flexible categorization.

+ | Step 4. Once submitted, percolator analyzes keywords to determine if it may be a duplicate. Presents possible duplicates to users. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Step 5: Community maintainers are alerted of submission. - **I don't see any alert mechanism (e-mail or RSS) for new blueprint submissions.** | ||
+ | |||
+ | Step 5. Adds an explanatory comment with a link to the ongoing project, possibly changing the status of the idea to cancelled. - **Click Superseded by and then link it to the duplicate project** | ||

+ | Step 7. Ideas with most votes/ | ||
+ | |||
+ | Step 8. Setting statuses - **There are various statuses: implementation status, definition status, and just plain status, that can indicate where the idea is in the development process. However, I don't see any flexibility for adding statuses or categorizations that indicate funding commitment.** | ||
+ | |||
+ | Pros of Launchpad Blueprints: | ||
+ | *You can link to a spec URL, which may be useful for groups that have already built more detailed requirements elsewhere. | ||
+ | *You can link it to a Launchpad bug, which ultimately is where the final code will most likely be posted. | ||
+ | | ||
+ | *For those already on Launchpad, no need to create a new account. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Cons of Launchpad Blueprints: | ||
+ | | ||
+ | | ||
+ | *For those who are not yet on Launchpad (the non-developer audience that would be posting ideas), a new account is required. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **f) Launchpad Bugs (Kathy)** | ||
+ | Step 2. User searches percolator - Yes, basic and advanced searching are available. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Step 3. User submits the idea, also using tag or category to identify cases where the user is willing to contribute funds, but is seeking co-sponsors or is planning to fund it, but is first seeking community feedback. - **Tags could be utilized to categorize ideas. A standard set of tags would need to be agreed upon by the community. Bugs that are really features requests are usually given an importance of " | ||
+ | |||
+ | Step 4. Once submitted, percolator analyzes keywords to determine if it may be a duplicate. Presents possible duplicates to users. - **Launchpad first requests a summary when submitting a bug. After entering the summary, it looks for potential duplicates before the user enters more detailed information.** | ||
+ | |||
+ | Step 5. Community maintainers are alerted of submission. - **Interested parties can subscribe to all bugs or can subscribe to bugs that use a certain tag.** | ||
+ | |||
+ | Step 5. Adds an explanatory comment with a link to the ongoing project, possibly changing the status of the idea to cancelled. - **Others can add comments. There is also a link to mark it as a duplicate. Enter the ID for the duplicate bug to create a link between the two.** | ||

+ | Step 7. Ideas with most votes/ | ||

+ | |||
+ | Pros of Launchpad Bugs: | ||
+ | | ||
+ | *For those already on Launchpad, no need to create a new account. | ||
+ | | ||
+ | |||
+ | Cons of Launchpad Bugs: | ||
+ | * Many developers will see these ideas as they are submitted. This may be too much noise. Further discussions with the developer community would be required. | ||
+ | * For those who are not yet on Launchpad (the non-developer audience that would be posting ideas), a new account is required. | ||
+ | * Some work would be required on the Evergreen wiki to link to canned bug searches to make it more accessible. |
