[Koha] For #koha meeting - bugs database policies - enhancements and cosponsorship

[Galen Charlton]

Hi,

Apologies for the delay sending this out.  One of the items discussed
at KohaCon was a desire by interested parties to have a global list of
proposed and active Koha development projects.  The purpose of this
list would be not only to let people know what new features may be
coming down the pike, but to give interested users and funding
agencies a way to coordinate the funding of such work.

The general outcome of the KohaCon session was a suggestion that the
Koha bugs database (bugs.koha.org) be used for this purpose.  Specific
changes that might support that include:

* turning on bug voting
* encouraging all active developers and vendors to create bugs for all
prospective enhancement projects, supplementing the RFCs distributed
via email and the wiki
* adding a custom field, status, or tagging convention to Bugzilla to
let interested parties identify projects that are seeking sponsorship.
* adding some canned reports to the bugzilla home page to identify
sponsored projects.

Regards,

Galen
