[Talk-ht] Need Help Managing Mapping Requests

[Mikel Maron]

Yes, I think we also have a separate set of tasks specifically for tool developers. Another for communication/coordination.
These as well need similar organizing to the mapping tasks. But as these are distinct modes, groups, probably separately listed, and perhaps managed by different folks.

My preference is to keep this all in the wiki for now, in one place. Problem we have at the moment is too much, spread around too many places, without clear organization.

Mikel,

Have you seen the shared Project Management spreadsheet ? :
http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0An_LB2U4zHBzdFRNR3dGczQycnZUcTJ6S2JjZ1o2dGc&hl=en

Maybe, it could be used for "self-ticketing", given, for a good start
for mapping, a good example of "Mapping Breakdown Structure" :) ? Maybe
both in Product Breakdown Structure, and Work Breakdown Structure ?
With "Who" (in OBS) then taking charge of the work in the corresponding
cells. 

Register by typing your name in the cell. And split a cell, going down
one level in the hierarchy, when someone comes along to help. And
insert lines below when more people come to help. Fairly simple and
flexible no ?

Jean-Guilhem
