Blueprints for OPlayWare
We track the features we intend to implement over the next few releases.
We call each feature proposal a "blueprint", and it can be a single paragraph placeholder for the idea, or a full-blown development specification. Once a blueprint is accepted, we can generate reports of the project roadmap, as well as notifying interested developers of blueprint status changes.
It's a great way to build a small community around an idea, feature or proposal.
Once we have a few blueprints in the system we can plan releases, and keep track of who is responsible for what. We can approve blueprints as goals for a particular release, and then generate a simple report of progress towards feature completion for that release.
Anybody can register a blueprint, https://blueprints.launchpad.net/oplayware
but only the drivers can make the decision as to whether that proposal is accepted for a meeting or a release.
