[Xpcgi-devel] Hi Joe

[Nick F. <nic...@sm...>]

Looks like there's just the two of us on the list at the moment, but I
thought I'd use the list so it gets archived. XPCGI looks quite handy for
us. I wondered how/whether you would like additional requests and stories
given to you, via this list, or some other way. Anyway, some more stories
for you.

1) The user should be able to say move the rank/priority of this story up or
down, and it swaps rank/priorities with the story above/below it, keeping a
list structure. Make top rank, and make bottom rank would also be nice.
Note: a pile of task cards is precisely that, a pile, not with fixed
priorities and then sorted. It's a lot easier to shuffle cards about that
editing the priorities by hand, and trying to guess a number which puts it
where you want.

2) It would be nice to take the current estimated stories, velocities, the
story estimates and ranks, and produce a timeline, projecting into the
future of which stories will be done when.

3) As for 2, but you can also view completed stories

4) Store the data to a proper database, like MySQL, rather than flat files.

I feel bad asking you to do work and I'd like to be able to help, especially
if it makes it happen faster, but I'm not a perl programmer. Let me know if
there is anything I can do.

Nick
