Recommended seetup & usage
We recommend the following usage:
- Use the issues tracker to create issues, tasks, milestones and deadlines for your project, and assign it to your team members. Think of issues as "tickets" they allow you to plan tasks and future features, as well as to be used for bug tracking.
- The mailing list is the preferred way of communication, but you can also use forums.
- Use subversion (SVN) for all kinds of files requiring version management: HDL and software/firmware, schematics, PCB layout, manufacturing files, etc.
- Use the Documents module for providing "release" versions of Documents; Typically you would show versions 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 on the Documents section, and all the intermediate steps (1.1, 2.3.1, etc) would be managed via the SVN.
- Similarly, use the Files section for "release" versions of important files, such as binary installation programs, drivers, schematics, gerber files, firmware etc. Again, intermediate versions of these should be managed via subversion.
- Use the wiki for storing the information you want to conserve about your project, but for which you don't have specific documents; meeting minutes, informal, high-level descriptions, objectives, etc.
- Use the News section for publishing important events, such as a new exposition or review meeting.
