I've just committed a fresh set of changes to XPCGI's CVS repository. These changes are in place on XPCGI's own project at http://www.visi.com/~gyles19/cgi-bin/XP/story.cgi?ACTION=LIST+STORIES&PROJECT=XPCGI This set of changes adds up/down links in the 'display by rank' list. These links allow you to move stories up and down the list by changing their rank numbers with a single mouse click. There is also a 'renumber ranks' button at the bottom of the page. Since the move up/down functionality uses decimals, I added a button that will renumber the ranks by sorting the existing ranks in numeric order and then renumbering from 1. Cards of rank 9999 or higher are not altered. I made some other tweaks as part of this enhancement but they're all minor behavioral changes and bug fixes. -- Joi Ellis Software Engineer Aravox Technologies jo...@ar..., gy...@vi... No matter what we think of Linux versus FreeBSD, etc., the one thing I really like about Linux is that it has Microsoft worried. Anything that kicks a monopoly in the pants has got to be good for something. - Chris Johnson |

If you visit the project's Home Page, there's a link XPCGI in Action which leads to a functional installation of XPCGI which contains XPCGI's own story cards. There is also a Playground project and a few others people have created.

The rank is a computed field based on the user's priority and the engineering risk value. The story owner isn't supposed to alter the enginering risk, but they could adjust the priority up or down. That could be used to make the cards adjust position. >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. That shouldn't be difficult. How about a 'project velocity' field on the project card which can be set at any time? It'd be used whenever the timeline was requested. >3) As for 2, but you can also view completed stories Hm. How would you do this? Just list the completed stories sorted by completion date at the start of the timeline? >4) Store the data to a proper database, like MySQL, rather than flat files. Why? This isn't a user story, it's an engineering decision. And, GDBM *is* a proper database. Besides, I can't run MySQL on my ISP, and SourceForge's web server doesn't support what XPCGI uses. >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.

If you know Java, I'd love to have someone create the beginnings of a unit test harness using HTTPUNit, a test framework based upon JUnit. I use JUnit daily at work, I'm just not familiar with HTTPUnit. -- Joi Ellis gy...@no..., http://www.visi.com/~gyles19/ |

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 |
