To clarify things a bit:

Currently, I only plan to manage the feature requests and the voting

For that purpose, I'm looking for a solution to collect and present
feature requests, preferrably in the format they are in now (i.e.
Description, detailed notes, status and people working on it). The
voting functionality should be included, so that, for each voting
period, any (registered) user can vote for a number of features, can
assign weights to the votes, and the solution adds the votes up
correctly.

I'm not too eager to install a complete CMS plus add-ons, or bugzilla,
or something similarly oversized. As of now, I don't see an out-of-the
box solution, and I think that creating a tailored voting solution would
not be unrealistic, but I'm still open for suggestions.

I have a plone server - I have no experience with the polling/voting
products, but there are a few:

Thanks for the suggestions!

http://www.contentmanagementsoftware.info/plone/PlonePopoll

This one allows users to vote for an answer out of a prepared list. For
us, that would meant that I'd have to prepare a list of all feature
requests for the voting, each user could only vote for one feature, and
weigthed votes would not be possible.

http://plone.org/products/rating-engine

No released files, and no usable example. The description sounds good,
though.

http://www.contentmanagementsoftware.info/plone/usability-issue-tracker
and more:
http://plone.org/products/by-category/poll

Hmmm... I found ploneSurvey, but there is no usable documentation.

It is normally quite easy to install a product, and also very easy to add
a new site to the server and do some minor adaptations to the looks -
clolour, logo etc

So asuming that there will not be heavy traffic I could host the list if
you should favour that - only I'm in the process of upgrading the server
- so it will only be possible to go into production some weeks from now

That would not be a problem, I think... would you be willing to install
the rating-engine plugin for testing purposes?

Arno

I tried, but there were errors. Maybe my plone version is too old, I will try
to install on the new server - see if installs there.

to contact me off list if you'd like to elaborate.

What i'd like to achieve is to set up something which supports voting on
feature request.

A feature request has to be stored and presented in a formalized way,
and each voter must be able to enter several weighted votes once per
voting period.

If noone finds a suitable solution with some readily available software
I'll start thinking how to implement something myself in a few days.

Here is a feature request for the voting system: separate voting for simple

I know these terms are somewhat imprecise, but I found it difficult to vote
for my "top 5" last time when minor tweaks were mixed with major projects.

Hello Arno:

What is the present site based on? Straight html/css or is there some
CMS backend already in place?

There are lots of CMS solutions out there, many of wh/look attractive
on first blush but start showing assorted warts once you start using in
production. Given this, Plone makes my short list. It's not a quick
and dirty solution, however, as it involves setting up (and
maintaining) Zope application server, ZEO DB backend (not strictly
necessary but I recommend using for production sites), Plone, various
Plone "Products" (e.g. Polls), and http proxy front end, so if you're
looking for relatively "quick" fix then perhaps better off w/something
php based, particularly if you're also interested in implementing other
features like forum boards.

Some links (don't go too crazy exploring...):

-CMS Matrix

<http://www.cmsmatrix.org/matrix>

-Opensource CMS (good place to demo various offerings)

<http://www.opensourcecms.com/index.php>

A couple php based that would make my short list:

-e107

<http://e107.org/news.php>

-Joomla:

<http://www.joomla.org/>

Joomla gives you more eye candy but I prefer e107 (better security
track record - at least last I checked).

I've got project deadlines and going to be swamped the next day or
two. Afterwards I'll still be pretty busy but should be able to
squeeze some time.

Hello Arno:

What is the present site based on? Straight html/css or is there some

Well, the site is not managed by me, but as far as I know it's
hand-written php without any database.

There are lots of CMS solutions out there, many of wh/look attractive
on first blush but start showing assorted warts once you start using in
production.

Yup, just my problem :-)

Given this, Plone makes my short list. It's not a quick
and dirty solution, however, as it involves setting up (and

php based, particularly if you're also interested in implementing other
features like forum boards.

Well, I have almost decided that any full-blown CMS will be pure
overkill for what I want to achieve. Especially given the fact that a
module for voting like we used it would need to be created anyway...


Some links (don't go too crazy exploring...):

Fortunately I already explored many of these sites.

-CMS Matrix

<http://www.cmsmatrix.org/matrix>


-Opensource CMS (good place to demo various offerings)

<http://www.opensourcecms.com/index.php>


A couple php based that would make my short list:

-e107

<http://e107.org/news.php>

That one is unknown to me, I'll give it a look.

-Joomla:

<http://www.joomla.org/>

Overweight :-)

Joomla gives you more eye candy but I prefer e107 (better security
track record - at least last I checked).


I've got project deadlines and going to be swamped the next day or

About a year ago there was a "competition" for open source cms. I'm
forgetting the name but the award was several thousand US dollars. 5
finalist were:

Joomla
Drupal
Plone
e107
??? I forget...

It was either Drupal or Joomla that won. Point being here that e107 is
"up there" with the big boys. But then again, as you've noted, a full
blown CMS may well be overkill for your objectives. OTOH, once you've
set one up you leverage a scalable foundation where you can easily add
more features as the need arises. In the interim, you can disable
those that you don't need.

You know, it may be overkill... but then again, haven't we as a
community sort of been clamoring for a Bacula-official wiki for awhile?
I know you may not want to be the one doing that work, but I wonder if
we can't kill two birds here with one stone.

I've been running a DokuWiki installation with bacula related info on
http://paramount.ind.wpi.edu/wiki for awhile. It's not fully official in that
it's not under bacula.org, but kern certainly knows about it, and has pulled
some of the manual correction stuff into the main docs. DokuWiki looks to
have a pretty good plugin system, so if someone with more PHP-fu than I have
wants to try writing up a suitable ranking system I'd be happy to host it there.

Good point... if someone set up a CMS or Wiki with the (probably)
necessary modules to support the voting process, I'd manage the feature
requests and voting itself.

(But I do prefer something much more structured than a bare wiki.)

Unfortunately, both of those two plugins are a little too simple IMHO.

The poll plugin (and closely related userpoll) just allow you to pick a single
item from a simple list.

The doodle one is closer, but a) doesn't look like the UI would scale all that
well for 50 options, and b) just allows a simple yea or nay vote on each option.

Odds are that the doodle one could be modified to work, though.

Here's a bug requesting voting in DokuWiki and someone posting two
plugins that do the trick. What do we think?

Unfortunately, both of those two plugins are a little too simple IMHO.

The poll plugin (and closely related userpoll) just allow you to pick a single
item from a simple list.

The doodle one is closer, but a) doesn't look like the UI would scale all that
well for 50 options, and b) just allows a simple yea or nay vote on each option.

Odds are that the doodle one could be modified to work, though.

That's what I thought, too... anyone experienced with wiki coding?

A related question: Can you set up the dokuwiki s that certain pages can
not be modified by everybody, but can still contain these voting thingies?

[Bacula-users] Bacula Waits for 40min When a Client is Down From: Kyle Marsh

Howdy,

I'm working on a bacula setup for my college and I have found that
when a client goes down, whether it's firewalled, turned off, or
otherwise disconnected from the network, bacula seems to hang for
about 40 minutes before deciding that the client isn't there and
stopping. This could become problematic if we have several machines
down each night and could cause substantial problems if some backups
don't start until people are back working. Is there a directive that
allows me to specify something sane as the timeout period, and where
does it need to go?

Thanks,

Kyle Marsh
