Re: Trac to Phabricator (Maniphest) migration prototype

Subprojects and Milestones are both special kinds of projects. Subprojects are like projects but are associated with a parent project. Unfortunately this doesn't really show up anywhere on the UI. There is quite a long discussion about this on the upstream issue tracker - https://secure.phabricator.com/T10349 Milestones are projects which are meant for tracking releases. A project can only have one milestone at a time and importantly the parent project is shown on the UI with milestones. I took some screenshots to show how they show up in UI. https://phabricator.haskell.org/M3 If you're interested about projects then the best place to read is https://secure.phabricator.com/book/phabricator/article/projects/ They are not very mature and I expect their usage will be refined in the next iteration. The UI for selecting projects could certainly be improved rather than presenting a list of amorphous labels. Matt On Mon, Jan 9, 2017 at 6:41 PM, Richard Eisenberg wrote:

Component -> Projects OS -> (Sub)Projects Arch -> (Sub)Projects

What is a (Sub)Project? I've been operating under the assumption that a Project is just a tag. Do these tags have structure? My best guess from your discussion is that when you choose on Project, you are then forced to choose one of a set of others. That seems like a good plan.

Keywords -> Projects Version -> Remove (It is a proxy for date reported)

No no no no. I don't think either of us will convince the other on this point, but we should be clear that we need input from others to decide on this one.

Milestone -> Project (Milestone)

What does this mean? What is "Project (Milestone)"?

I have some example emails. https://phabricator.haskell.org/M2

Looks good. Thanks for posting this!
