oh, thanks for spotting that - indeed, it should read "one or more". 
I'll correct that in the draft.



Otherwise it looks reasonable to me: the full list of tasks is obviously
more than the resource limit you have at the end, but as long as the
wording allows bidders to only offer a subset, this looks fine.


Yes, that's the idea, bidders make their proposal based on items mentioned.

Re: [board-discuss] Drafting Tender "Cleanup & further improve ODF conformance"

2022-02-17 Thread Florian Effenberger

Hello,


I tried to factor in the changes and suggestions proposed into the tender draft 
at https://nextcloud.documentfoundation.org/s/ggqpciBK54rztJi, splitting the 
issues in high and low priority.

For Michael's suggestions, I wasn't sure about the priority, so put them into 
the low priority one, but likely that is wrong, so let me know what to put 
where.

Let me know also what you think of the approach in general.


are we fine with publishing the tender in that state, any further edits 
before we proceed with tendering that?


Thanks,
Florian

This is in the draft. We can add a similar note as mentioned above if 
we're unsure about the work required.


so i've discussed this with Armin now and we noticed that this would be 
a *lot* of effort and really should be a separate tender, and the 
gradients are currently listed separately in the Wiki page.


or, put another way, if you put the gradients into this tender there 
won't be any time to fix any other bug.

Was there any further discussion or feedback on this? If the list 
mentioned there is fine, I replace item 2 from the tender with it. If 
we're unsure whether that meets the budget or not, as the person days 
are listed in the tender, we can add a note along the lines of "Please 
propose a subset and prioritization of these bugs, that do not exceed 
the person days factored in for this tender, see below."


thanks for reminding me, due to too much vacation i forgot but now i 
just provided some feedback about some of the issues to Regina.


i haven't thought about how much time the selected issues would require 
yet, it's possible it might still be more than the budget which the BoD 
wants to spend, so i guess a fixed budget and then apply for a subset of 
the issues makes sense.

nobody knows how much work it is to set that up and what problems 
would actually be found, so i guess this item mostly amounts to "get 
ODFAutoTests to run at all".


I've tried to rephrase #1 a bit, let me know if this is better.


Is the current wording fine?


i guess, as long as nobody interprets it to mean "set up a public 
website" :)
