This seems like a great exercise. It would be good if the Candidates page could be updated with links to the LP bugs created to reduce double work.<br><br>- Richard<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 3/19/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">

MOTUs and MOTU Hopefuls!<br><br>For a long time we've wanted to move away from using the wiki [0]<br>for new package requests. This is for many reasons, wiki pages like<br>this can get rather large (we have 450+ requests right now), doesn't
<br>work well with our normal workflow (bugs on Launchpad were we can<br>comment, prioritize, close, etc.), and get easily overlooked by both<br>users and developers.<br><br>After talking with Launchpad developers it was determined that they
<br>best approach would be to simply file bugs against Ubuntu and tag<br>them with needs-packaging . My only concern with this approach was<br>that users had to know the tag before hand and properly add it. I<br>thought we would want to have 1 URL that would take them to the bug
<br>filing page in LP *and* have the tag already there. The code for this<br>[1] has already been included in the Beta Launchpad. For people with<br>Launchpad Beta access you can test this out by going to [2] or [3].<br><br>
So, do we want to start migrating off of Candidates? I think it'd be<br>an interesting project for Hopefuls and other people wanting to get<br>involved with MOTU to work on. Just go through the list and check to<br>make sure that the app is even distributable and isn't already in
<br>Debian/Ubuntu, then move the contents to a bug report and tag with<br>needs-packaging .<br><br>-Jordan<br><br>[0] <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Packages/Candidates">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Packages/Candidates
