Aloha! We (Kate, Chris and I) are currently implementing a new workflow for work item management.
Previously we used one big monolithic TODO page in the wiki (greetings from the knights who say 'timeout'), over time nice work items magic was created in the lands of Ubuntu [1] which we are now also adopting for the benefit of Kubuntu. In a nutshell: Instead of one big TODO we now track work items in the whiteboards of related launchpad blueprints. A lot faster IMHO, though the format is something to get used to. Additionally we are getting a nice status site [2] (still being fixed up) it contains a nice burndown as well as a listing of all tasks associated with kubuntu-devs (primarily, but not limited to Kubuntu blueprints) as well as their state. If you are sometimes roaming for unassigned tasks: simply take a look at [2], all items assigned to kubuntu-members are technically unassigned, consequently if you take on one of those items you should change the assignee TO YOUR LP USERNAME (anything but LP user names will cause a big kaboom and possibly the end of the world as we know it). Markup 101: [lpusername] some nice description: TODO [lpusername] some nice description: INPROGRESS [lpusername] some nice description: BLOCKED [lpusername] some nice description: DONE If something is assigned to two or more persons, please note that you will need to duplicate the line right now, also an empty assignee is invalid (the reason everything that is unassigned is actually assigned to kubuntu-members). Hopefully someone will fix those two issues at some point, sorta annoying IMHO. For more information please take a look at [1] - superior nice is that it can also add work items from bugs listed in the whiteboard, thus enabling you to add work items in a bug that is related to a blueprint and manage items at higher granularity if you wish to. Serious magic that is. As we are still moving stuff around, it would be great if you could drop a mail or poke me if you notice something not working.
