- Overhauling the dashboard to allow reporting widgets
- #2399043: Combine ticket and task content types to a single content type

juliangb commentedUpdate phase numbering.
Comment #3
n8j1s commentedAs things are being ported to Drupal 7, have you considered moving to a more field based approach. Using fields instead of custom tables to store information would allow us to take advantage of widgets from other modules and would give built in views support. I'm not sure about the database repercussions, using the Fields API tends to produce a lot of database tables. But in Drupal 7, I think it might allow the Project Management system to take advantage of more of the built in features of Drupal.
Comment #4
juliangb commentedYes, I'd love us to be moving to use fields. Could you provide a patch?
Comment #5
n8j1s commentedSure. I'd love to put some work into it. I think it's going to result in some pretty huge code changes.
I've added two issues to the queue here for discusion:
#1915300: Refactor Code For PM Namespace
#1915320: Move to a Field API based approach
Do you think these would make sense to add to the roadmap?

juliangb commentedAdded misc bugs to pre-alpha roadmap.
Comment #7
juliangb commentedNote to all, I've just updated the roadmap based on current issues in the queue:
- Some issues have been postponed from Phase 1 to Phase 3, as they were not true "basic functionality"
- Some recently posted bugs have been added to Phase 1
We are actually still pretty close to an alpha release, as a lot of the bugs posted in Phase 1 are small follow ups, and I think there is some overlap between issues.
I am aiming personally to push a lot of these this week.
Also, I've started a discussion on Drupal Groups about how we promote the alpha when it comes out - please do review and see how you could help: https://groups.drupal.org/node/303113

Comment #11
juliangb commentedI've just updated the roadmap based on where we've got to at alpha 1.
My priority will be to go through the list in order (i.e. next looking at Storm migration, but I'll also try to keep on top of patches submitted to the queue).
I have tried to structure the list a little more to give priorities for pre-beta tasks. All assistance very welcome as usual. Please assign an issue to yourself so that noone duplicates (I must get better at doing this).
Thanks to all that made the alpha release possible.
