One of the challenges over the next couple of months will be figuring<br>out how to turn 'feedback' from deployments into useful 'information'<br>which the bug squad and deployment team can use.<br><br>As a first step, I would like to suggest that we keep deployment<br>
related threads on <a href="mailto:iaep@sl.o" target="_blank">iaep@sl.o</a>. After all, deployments are the<br>education part of the it's an education project. There will be a<br>number of benefits to this:<br><br>
1. Developers 'like' to work from bug trackers. Our bug tracker is<br>
at <a href="http://dev.sugarlabs.org" target="_blank">dev.sugarlabs.org</a> . An example of a good bug report is at<br><span><a href="http://dev..sugarlabs.org/ticket/1100" target="_blank">http://dev.sugarlabs.org/ticket/1100</a> . In this report Gary does a</span><br>
good job of clearly describing the problem. It is very common for bug<br>reports to turn into conversation very similar
to mailing list<br>conversations as the bug reporter and bug fixer narrow in on the exact<br>cause of the bug. There is some very useful metadata at the top<br>report describing exactly which version and component you can find the<br>
bug. Finally, there is a the Ownedby field. If a bug is identified<br>on a mailing list it is likely to be forgotten within minutes.. Once a<br>bug is entered into the tracker, someone owns the bug until they<br>assign it to someone else.<br>
<br>2. Developers like to work from feature requests. Sugar stores<br>feature requests on the wiki at<br><span><a href="http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Features/Back_Up_and_Restore" target="_blank">http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Features/Back_Up_and_Restore</a> . A good</span><br>
example of a feature request is<br>at<a href="http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Features/Back_Up_and_Restore" target="_blank">http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Features/Back_Up_and_Restore</a> . The<br>format of
the feature request make it easy for developer to figure out<br>how a new feature fits into the exist code base and how to prioritize<br>the feature.<br><br>These two process are not just 'make work.' Most non-teachers, have<br>
very little grasp of the processes teacher use to keep a class room of<br>squirmy kids focused on a learning objective. It is just going to<br>take awhile until we learn to understand deployers need and<br>specialized vocabulary.<br>
<br>3. By keeping the deployment discussion on iaep, we can work together<br>to figure out how turn feedback into usable information for developers<br>before turning it into bug reports or feature requests.<br><br>4. We can create a culture in which deployers and developers equally<br>
respected members of the sugar community.<br><br>5. By clearly splitting up the roles and responsibilities between<br>developer and deployers we start to lay the foundation for reviving<br>the deployment
