[Xesam] [Ticket-a-day] Initiative

[Evgeny Egorochkin]

Hi guys.

Now that our collaboration infrastructure is set up and flames are over, we're 
supposed to start improving ontologies.

Unfortunately the laid-back approach of people sometimes commenting on some 
random ticket takes a bit more time to get issues resolved than it could 
have(from my experience of course). Also, some direction as to what needs 
attention right now might help, if not increase the rate of our progress but 
at least would cause less troubles to people who depend on our work by 
addressing the most important issues first.

So my proposal is:

I find a ticket that doesn't have any blockers or dependencies, so it can be 
resolved right now, I start bugging people, asking for opinions etc etc. 

Bugging doesn't mean getting in the way or distracting from important matters. 
It simply means attracting sufficient attention to get stuff done, asking for 
feedback issues, coordinating discussion.

This way we don't have to wait 2 months to know for sure that people not 
commenting on the issue are ok with whatever direction it takes as opposed to 
being unaware of its existence or something. Also communications may take 
simpler forms such as a list of wants and needs from a particular Nepomuk 
stakeholder as opposed to a thought out proposal.

Thoughts? Ideas?

P.S. Silence = agreement. You've been warned ;)
