Feature Requests |
In the past, users informally submitted feature requests by email, and
I collected them, then once a version was released, I would publish the
list for users to vote on.
Now that Bacula has become a bigger project, I would like to formalize
the process a bit more. The main change will be to require users
to carefully think about their feature, and submit it on a feature
request form. A mostly empty form is shown below along with an
exaple of an actual filled in form.
Once I receive and approve the Feature Request, possibly requesting
some modifications, I'll add it to the projects file, which contains
a list of all open Feature Requests.
Feature Request FormItem n: One line summary ... Origin: Name and email of originator. Status: What: More detailed explanation ... Why: Why it is important ... Notes: Additional notes or features ... An Example Feature RequestItem 1: Implement a Migration job type that will move the job data from one device to another. Origin: Sponsored by Riege Sofware International GmbH.
