Improving project communication: The ChangeLog

[Christian Hammond]

Hi everyone,

It's been a productive (and very busy) few months for us here at Beanbag/Review Board. We've had our heads down working toward the long-overdue (but justifiably delayed, for reasons I'll get into in another post) Review Board 4.0 beta 1, growing the company to further fund development, and working on and shipping improvements for our Power Pack and RBCommons users.

That said, I've dropped the ball on keeping people informed on where we are with Review Board and what's coming. We haven't had a Review Board release in a few months, and we're sometimes slow to respond to threads here. That's created a perception that not much has been going on, which was brought to my attention today. Definitely not the impression I meant to leave, but absolutely understandable. So that's something we're going to fix.

ChangeLog

This Thursday, we're resuming an old series of blog posts we called ChangeLog. This will go into the work we're currently doing for Review Board, Power Pack, RBCommons, Review Bot, RBTools, and the company itself.

Through ChangeLog, we're hoping to better communicate what we have in the works, time tables (and the reasons for any delays), challenges, architectural decisions, and answer any questions from the community.

We're planning to make this a weekly blog post. We'll be posting them to the community support list, Twitter, Reddit and the Beanbag Blog.

Send us your questions!

I'd like to answer some questions each week about our projects and development. These can be about long-term plans, features, architecture, integrations, extension capabilities, business, pretty much anything (though we'd prefer keeping anything support-related separate).

If you have anything to ask for this Thursday's ChangeLog, please reply here.

Thanks!

Christian

My number one question is about the timeline for Python 3 support;
Upstream support for Python 2 is ending in just a few months.

[Christian Hammond]

That's definitely going to be the big topic.
