Activity: Intro to FOSS Project Anatomy
SugarLab: Students can perform several roles, such as developer, content writer, and translator. I found interesting to have an "What can I do in an hour" page. To report a bug, the person should go to the GitHub page and open an issue on the appropriate component. There are several types of tickets such as defect, enhancement, and task. Each ticket has who reported, priority, component, severity, bug status, milestone, version, distribution/OS, and description. At the time if this writing, the last commit was made on Apr 29, 2018. The Development Team's Roadmap is updated at the beginning of each release cycle.
The Sahana Eden Project: There are multiple ways of contributing. As in the SugarLab, there are domain-specific roles (e.g. GIS Specialists) as well as common roles (e.g., developers, testers, designers, translators, etc.). The project as an issue tracker with several tickets, encompassing categories such as defect/bug, enhancement, documentation, and task. These categories are mostly similar to the ones from the SugarLab project. The information for each ticket is also similar between the projects. Few additional fields are due date, cc, and launchpad bug. At the time if this writing, the last commit was made on Jun 15, 2018. In the roadmap, they list milestone, including the progress, the number of tickets closed and active, the planned date, and the features. however, this page doesn't seem to be updated very often.
