I know it’s a little early to be thinking about it, but I’m already looking ahead toward my RCOS project for next semester. This JavaScript re-write is just about wrapped up, and I’ve got a presentation in a couple of days with what I’m doing until the end of the semester. What’s next? Groups.
A number of users of Tracks have asked for group functionality over the years, but nobody has actually done it. With the dependencies piece of the puzzle in place by December, next semester is a natural time to start allowing users to assign tasks to each other. I’m writing up a fairly extensive proposal for one of my classes, and I’ll post that here once it’s ready for public consumption. This is going to be an exciting year for Tracks!
Nothing’s final, and my choice (and participation in RCOS) could change, but I think adding group functionality to Tracks would be a huge win for everybody.
I’d like to thank Sean O’Sullivan, RPI class of 1985, who has generously supported the Rensselaer Center for Open Source and my work on Tracks. Without his support, these awesome features would not be happening.
