Mental note: must remember to use word "nebulous" more often, I like it.
As do I ;-)
Anyway, integration with existing services would be very good, but I doubt it will be possible. I don't think there's a way to automatically create a mailing list, trac project, and so on and so forth, and I'm not certain it would make sense to make such a feature possible. I suppose something like this would be a possible goal to look towards if we ever start working more seriously on single-signon and the like, but for now, I think we're stuck reinventing the wheel.
At the very least, there could be a link to a pre-existing mailing list and trac instance. For those projects/strikeforces/SIGs that don't have existing bug trackers, which would you think of using? Are you suddenly going to write a new one in Haskell? :p
Your SIG idea sounds possible, let's play it out. I'll go with web development, since I'm personally involved there. I suppose the idea would be I could create such an interest group, and hopefully developers on other frameworks (Happstack and Snap for instance) could join the team. Users may come and start requesting features, and everyone interested in solving the problem could participate in the discussion. Seems like it would fit right in with the strike force proposal, just under a different name. I have no objection to trying to name this something more generic such as SIG.
Yeah, to me "strike force" sounds like a more temporary thing designed to get something done, and then dissolve once that library is written. -- Ivan Lazar Miljenovic Ivan.Miljenovic@gmail.com IvanMiljenovic.wordpress.com
