So anyone on the administration team knows that one of the most really un-fun things is going to each issue that's marked "Claimed", looking at the date the task was claimed, looking at the estimated time laid out, pulling out their abacus and fiddling with it for awhile, and coming up with whether or not they need to set the task as "ActionNeeded" or not. Also, going through all the "ActionNeeded" tasks and marking them as "Open" if it's been > 24 hours. Tons of fun, let me assure you.
So let's knock that off, with two new tricks!
- Henceforth, all task timelines will be one week, unless other arrangements are made. This will allow for things like weekends, exams, or us dragging our feet reviewing things. Also, math is hard. Looking at a calendar is easy. ;)
- When marking a task as "Claimed", give it a label like DueDate-2007-12-14. This will then show up as a nifty, sortable field in our issue tracker, so we can instantly see what tasks are overdue and need their statuses changed. Kudos to Moodle for this tip!
