vijaycs85's sandbox: Drupal Board

Use alternative projects like lullabot issue board or Contribkanban

What is it?

DrupalBoard is a distribution (going to power http://www.drupalboard.org) that allows to build scrum boards for the projects in drupal.org.

Why do we need?

1. drupal.org has more than 27,000 project (modules/themes/distributions).It is very hard to find the stable module with good support
2. Contributing to any module is very hard because of the way issue queues maintained in drupal.org
   Both maintainers & contributors don’t have better understanding of what is important/focused at the moment, until involved heavily on a particular module development.
3. www.drupal8multilingual.org, www.drupal8cmi.org, www.drupaldate.org and etc... trying to solve this very same problem, but it is too many places/sites to follow to contribute to different projects.

How it helps?

1. This main site(www.drupalboard.org) lists all the projects available and high level view of each projects (like status of maintainers, how much issues getting burned by day/week/month).
2. Extend to rank the modules maintainability and response time - encourage maintainers to act on issues.
3. Visibility of top contributors and future maintainers
4. Spend time on concentrate and work on issues and direct developers to help vs Spend time to "find" an issue.

Why can not implement in drupal.org

1. It may be over load or excessive customisation in drupal.org
2. Good to have sub-domain with option to maintainers to customise, manage
3. More visibility and contributor credits

How it works?

1. Maintainer(s) of a Drupal project (module/theme/distributions) with more than X user downloads and/or Y no.of.issues(should definition X & Y from the statistical data of drupal.org) requests for a board.
2. After manual verification, the site will be approved and new sub-domain PROJECT.drupalboard.org will be created
4. Maintainers are free to create list of boards like focus board, novice board, triage board, etc (e.g. www.drupaldate.org), users and instructions specific to project
5. If there is no activity on a project for more than X months, the sub-domain will be automatically removed.

What do we need to build this site?

Development

1. Most of the common functionalities are in Rocketship. IMHO, it is good to release as beta.
2. The main domain functionalities will be covered as part of this distribution

Hosting

We need a Drupal hosting provider.
