If I understend well (but I think it is dangerous to test it) that we can have percentege set automatically based on status (new, in progress, resolved, ..).
After using redmine for some time I'd be inclined to set it that way, as it is tedious to keep it more meaningfully updated and we often forget to do it ;-)

Comments?

JAA is not keen on such automatic methods. We should try harder to be diligent about updating the percentages. If we can't learn then we can reconsider using the automatic method.

JAA thinks there is too much variation between the different tasks for some universal scheme to make much sense.

To close a "version":
go to roadmap
select the version
top right corner (usually outside my narrow window..) there is "edit"

... easy when you know how...

#9 Updated by John Abbott about 11 years ago

I'm not sure which version of redmine we are using, but a new stable release was announced just a week ago. Should we update redmine itself? (well, ask Cartatone to do it :-)

The main risk is that something might stop working; then again not updating may also cause problems...

Opinions?

  • Project changed from CoCoA to CoCoALib
  • Category changed from Administration to Documentation
  • Target version set to CoCoALib-1.0

This issue was under "CoCoA" instead of "CoCoALib".
I'm recovering these old and forgotten issues, so we reconsider them.

  • Target version changed from CoCoALib-1.0 to CoCoALib-0.99700

Should we close this issue? Is it quite old, and I think we have learned to use redmine reasonably well.

According to the redmine website, new versions were made in December 2019. Is there any point in updating our installation?
Perhaps we should ask Cartatone for his opinion?

I prefer to keep redmine fairly up-to-date in case there have been "security fixes".
The redmine website seems to show two versions being actively developed: 3.4.13 and 4.1.0
(maybe the version with a final 0 is a bit risky?)

It would be helpful to have a short "manual" for redmine which explains how to do some operations (e.g. create a new version).

Not urgent for this release; postponing (but with higher priority).

#15 Updated by John Abbott about 2 years ago

  • Target version changed from CoCoALib-0.99800 to CoCoALib-0.99850

According to the message at the bottom of each screen in redmine, the version we are using is about 5 years ago.
We should seriously consider asking Cartatone to investigate updating to a more recent version.

#16 Updated by Anna Maria Bigatti about 2 years ago

Remember to close (as "admin") the closed releases. (I've just "closed" some old releases)

#17 Updated by John Abbott about 1 year ago

Anna: could you produce a short user-guide for redmine.
I think it will be useful for both of us!
Not sure where such a file should be stored...
