Development:Tracker

Note: This page documents the development of Moodle's new issues/bug/enhancement tracking system - http://tracker.moodle.org.

Please check the Tracker page for guidance on using the bug tracker and reporting problems.

General information

The new system will be referred to as "Tracker".
Many user accounts have been created in Tracker (based on usernames from Moodle.org). Accounts for all Developers (those with the ability to check Moodle code into CVS) have been created, as have those with recent or much activity in the old system. Try to log in using your Moodle.org username and request a password. If no account has been created, then create a new account by following the prompts.
Users have the ability to create, change, and update issues. Users can not change the status of issues.
Users have the ability to "watch" issue. Use the "watching" option from the left hand navigation bar when you're viewing an issue.
The Filter system is quite powerful and comprehensive. Give it a try!
Note that issues are assigned to an upcoming release. Select "Browse Project" then look for "versions" in the center column. This is a great way to identify what issues are currently included in upcoming releases.
Users can do bulk updates. This feature is particularly useful to developers when assigning and re-assigning issues.

Tracker system has been configured.
User groups with appropriate permissions have been set.
All issues (open & closed) from old system (Bug Tracker) have been moved to Tracker. Note that issues have retained their ID numbers. Issues begin with the prefix MDL Tracker.
The field "Created" now displays the actual date the issue was logged (in the old system).
The field "Reporter" now displays the actual person who logged the issue (in the old system) on MOST issues. Some issues continue to display "anonymous" or blank in this field.

Attachments are missing from issues. These should be reattached soon.
Votes in the old Bug Tracker have not been transfered to Tracker. There is no plan to move these.

Log a new issue in Tracker! There has been a separate project set up in Tracker called "Moodle.org Sites". So all you need to do is select "Moodle.org Sites" from the drop-down list when creating a new issue. We'll review your suggestion and let you know.
