Announcing the Project Management and Delivery Excellence Initiative

Ladies and Gentlemen, great discussion!
Regarding tools - we are going to use Atlassian stack (professional and free for open-source projects) to maintain basic ITIL processes like Problem Management, Change Management, Release Management (I am thinking about Incident Management and Release Fulfillment as well). The work is in progress. We will share some updates soon.

I have a proposition - let's move the discussion about existing issues and improvement ideas to a separate thread. We would have one place to store them all. What do you think about this?
If you would like to create a separate thread, we have forum "Dash Core Team": https://dashtalk.org/forums/dash-core-team.48/
Or you could choose another forum, but I would like to ask not to bring it to Slack. Forums on this site are much better for discussions and references.

Thanks. :)
 
Lurking here as well, but I also like the discussion that's happening here.

We do need to grow up as a community and business, our tools and processes will change, and we will surely encounter growing pains and hurt feelings. Just make sure to voice your opinions and contribute as best you can, so that your ideas are heard.

coingun I am not a member of any Slack channel, yet I'm sure no one would say I'm not helping Dash daily. We can help out, all of us, in our own way, contributing to this discussion or seeing a need and filling it.

Please keep the ideas flowing, it's good to see.

Slack is not good for long discussions. It is just a private IRC, but easier to use and with a few extra features. It is great for certain things, but not for others.

The situation of the dash core team forum is unclear. Your link works and you can still find the threads there, but it is not visible from the homepage. I know Propulsion said that he would delete it and move the threads somewhere else because it had no clear purpose (I agree). I think that threads discussing ideas should go to General or maybe Development Tech Discussion.
 
My suggestion would be to create a Telegram group. It works great in phone and computer, it is free, open source and has customizable notifications. I would include in the group at least 20 active members of the community. If anyone sees something weird, he writes to the group. It would only be for this kind of events.

I had a closer look into Telegram and it looks quite promising.

The only issue I see is for people like me (without a mobile-number) it's not possible to use it at all, not even with the desktop client.

I give people my username instead of my phone number, but I had not thought about not having a mobile number... In the past I think I used some online number to receive a verification message in services to which I didn't want to give my real number (as far as I know, that is the only thing Telegram needs if you are using the desktop client).

I did notice "Dash Core Team" is not on the homepage and was going to ask Propulsion about it.
Please don't put this discussion in "General Discussion", it will be buried fast and hard to find later.
"Development Tech Discussion" seems the best place, and maybe we can move "Dash Core Team" there, or make another sub-category and name it "Project Management" or something?

Yes, I also think that Development Tech Discussion is for tech things and many of the things we need to discuss are more day to day management, not tech... but when we start creating forums then things get confusing... it is really difficult to find the equilibrium :confused::confused:

I'm never one to shy away from offering ideas, and I'm pretty good at organizing. I see a need here to rearrange things slightly, so here's what I think would work.

1. Remove "Development Tech Discussion" from Dash Currency.
2. Create a new forum to house all ongoing Development discussion, calling it "Dash Development"
3. Create subforums to house the different types of development discussions:
Tech Development (the newly moved "Development Tech Discussion")
Marketing Development
Legal Development
Personel Development
Budgeting Development
...adding new categories as we see fit.

That way, all development discussion stays there, avoiding confusion and overcrowding of other topics or announcement forums.

Oh man. I remember the last time we rearranged the categories. What a nightmare.
Let me read this thread over the weekend to see what this is about.
 
May I share my vision of optimal structure of DashTalk:

Forum re-organization might take some time, therefore I decided to create a separate thread to list all known issues and improvement ideas (it can be moved later to another sub-forum)
https://dashtalk.org/threads/known-issues-and-improvement-ideas.5041/

PS. I am going to copy all of your ideas from here to the new thread(or will ask Propulsion to do it, if possible), but feel free to do it by yourself, if you want to.
