Calculating Story Completion

    I just started using XPWeb a few days ago and I have one question:

    Wouldn't it reflect the completion of a story better, if the task completions where weighed in the average?

    The current case is this: a story has three tasks, one of one hour ("create DB-Table"), and the other two have about 10 hours each. I just finished the one hour task, and now the story completion reads at 33%, even though I have only finished under 5% of estimated task weight. Get the picture?

    If you agree that weighed averages would be better, I'll just make the change and send you the patch.

      Hi Jochen,

      I think you make a good point here. I'm interested in the patch.

      Now, it's always delicate to make such a change, so the way I usually do it is: make it configurable in the Config file and inactivate it by default...

      It's been a very long time since anybody else than me participates to the code. I'd be very glad to receive your patch. Please send it to x_p_web at hotmail dot com and I'll integrate it in next release!

        Okay, I posted the patch in the patch-tracker (duh...). Let me know what you think...

      ATM I hardcoded the change into the Planning Models, but I'll make time tomorrow to make it configurable and then send you the changes.
