I would like to set a particular forum area or node in for my project page. Now it is so that all projects are assigned to a container. The hardcoded path should be only a prefix and allow contributors to chose rest of the path on drupal.org. This would make issues just issues or feature request and not forum like thread with a lot of noise. To allow for discussion to take place where they can easily be found I should be able to create a forum node and assign it to the project.

Project: CVS integration » Project
Version: » x.y.z
Component: Miscellaneous » Projects
Status: Active » Closed (won't fix)
  • this has nothing to do with CVS integration, so i'm moving it to the "Project" project. (confusing, isn't it?). ;)
  • i'm marking this as won't fix for a few reasons:
    1. issues are supposed to allow follow-ups. that's how they get resolved. people post patches, review them, test them, comment on them, etc, etc. eventually someone applies a working patch and closes the issue. there's only noise if people abuse the functionality and post off-topic, meaningless things into an issue.
    2. you are free to setup a forum on your own site to discuss your own projects if you want general, open-ended discussions that aren't tied to specific issues. if you want to link to this forum from a project node, you could change this into a feature request for adding an optional "Link to a support forum" to each project node. that's a more reasonable request.
    3. you can already use the /project/issues/user link (my issues) to track all issues you've either created or posted a reply to.

given all of that, i see no reason to make the changes you're proposing.

sorry,

Yes, it is very confusing. How many modules are actually involved in the running of a project on Drupal.org?

Thanks for moving it to the right place though.

2 modules: project (for 90% of the job) and cvs (for the remaining 10%: the cvs integration). that's it.
