dotProject - Call to Action
Tags: 
Date: 18 June, 2007 - 08:04

Just a few weeks ago, I announced in this space the dotProject Files Module Update. The purpose of this update will allow your System Admin to replace the existing file system storage backend with Subversion for a more robust version control option. That said, I know Subversion isn't the only system out there...

If you are a dotProject user and would like to help make additional backends available, I need your input. More than that, I need your help. The only other system on my priority list is CVS but I know there are numerous other document management and version control systems out there that should be considered. Which ones are the most important to you? Which ones have you implemented? Which ones would you like to implement?

So here's the deal:

If you are interested in contributing and have a bit of PHP skill, drop me a note or leave contact information here.

I'd like to put the people who have common interests/goals in touch to coordinate efforts. If we can get together on this one, I think we'll be able to serve as an example of Open Source collaboration and move dotProject forward. There's a relatively clean Interface for you to work against, a set of coding standard checks I have worked on, and if it's for a relatively mainstream system, I will ensure that it gets considered for core dotProject. For inclusion, it must be clean in terms of code and IP...

Personally, I'd love to have SharePoint support....

Being crossposted to the dotProject forums shortly...

More/Better Time reporting

How about more/better time reporting in dP?

What I need is a way to produce reports of the time logged against various tasks in dP? Time by project, Time by Person, Time by project and person, etc.

Ideally at the end of a reporting period (typically a month) I need a summary report by project for a given company. And then I'd like another report where each project starts on it's own new page. Under that project I have the tasks detailed, and under each task I have the time log detailed.

As a matter of fact - I am not even sure dP has a time log in the sense I am talking about . I know you can log time on a task. But can you have a multiple time log entries per task/issue? Right now I use Gemini. When a task is open you can log multiple time entries per task. For each entry you an log who, how much time, the date, and a comment. So I can run a report and ask for total time for a task, and the detailed log entries with the dates/comments/hours. So if 30 hours is logged against something I can see the breakdown of the 30h.

Make sense? Probably not.
