Milestones

[johnnyman727]

I did some thinking about how we might want to focus our collective energy over the next few weeks to nail out all the highest priority targets. We can respectfully ignore any issues/PRs that don't fall into the milestone targets below except for egregious issues that have a specific label (like 'urgent') and outstanding PRs.

Here are the suggested milestones - feedback is welcome:

Milestone "Fullstack" - version 0.0.5

Complete by 10/26/15

Kelsey and Jon will be at Fullstack conference in London running people through the first run experience. Let's knock out any lingering problems that makes it difficult to get started with Tessel 2.

• Node 4.x CLI compatibility
• Node 4.2.1 running on Tessel 2
• Fix USB Booting issues

Milestone "Spec Completion" - version 0.0.6

Complete by 11/4/15

This exists, but I'm not sure what the items were

Milestone "Spec Completion" - version 0.0.7

Complete by 11/24/15

• Make Ambient/IR modules compatible with T2 @johnnyman727 (ostensibly functional, just waiting for testing on Tessel 1)
• RFID compatibility with T2 @johnnyman727 (ostensibly functional, just waiting for testing on Tessel 1)
• GPS compatibility with T2 @johnnyman727 (ostensibly functional, just waiting for testing on Tessel 1)
• Add the ability to enable and disable wifi @johnnyman727
• Add the ability to make Tessel an access point @HipsterBrown
• Add the ability to get a root shell @Student007

Milestone "Digging Deeper" - version 0.0.8

Complete by 12/09/15

• Report wifi connection success @Frijol
• Make it so you can connect to wifi networks with no password @HipsterBrown
• Add the option to select network security type @HipsterBrown
• Fix t2-compiler @tcr

Milestone "Almost There - version 0.0.9

Complete by 01/06/16

• Fix USB dropping off the bus occasionally @johnnyman727 (released off-schedule as firmware build 0.0.7)
• CLI identifies binary deps and can inject them @rwaldron
• Get a server up and running that can serve binary dependencies @reconbot

Several serious issues:

• You can only push a bundle once successfully
• First use of t2 ap over USB will crash @HipsterBrown
• t2 wifi -l only works once per boot
• control+c doesn't end Node processes (over LAN?)

Milestone "USB MODULES HOORAY" - version 0.0.10

Complete by 02/03/16 (moved from 01/20/2016)

• Commands sometimes hang on "Looking for your Tessel..."
• Make USB BLE module work with T2 CLI
• Make FRE for USB BLE @Frijol
• Make Flash Drives mount automatically
• Make FRE for Flash Drive @Frijol
• pin.pull in firmware @johnnyman727
• Add Tessel networking utilities to the tessel module @HipsterBrown

Milestone "Final Before Shipments Arrive" - version 0.0.14?

Complete by 03/17/16

• Make USB camera/audio module functioning with T2 CLI and OpenWRT @rwaldron
• Make USB 3G module work out of the box @HipsterBrown
• PWM Out in firmware
• pulseIn in firmware
• Get firmware updates over USB working

Milestone "Multilingual" - version 0.0.11

Complete by 04/17/2016

• Add the ability to print out latest Tessel logs (Moved from "Spec Completion")
• Rust Blinky works @flaki
• Python Blinky works

Re using Github milestones for this https://github.com/ZenHubIO/support/issues/44
Anyone have experience with Zenhub? It's native to Github and free for open source

[johnnyman727]

I use Zenhub but didn't know that they have multiple repo Milestone support - that's great. I'll try it out.

[rwaldron]

I just updated the list items to be checkbox items

[Student007]

@johnnyman727 I would suggest to make a milestone or a task list (and part of one of the milestones) about usability improvements to collect all that things and give it a home (and a badge).

But don't forgot/blend out a lot of that things could get deep impact but would be reasonable also for facing usage faults and behaviors early. So they are not to be started after the last milestone is finished.

It is about starting yesterday but to be landed tomorrow.

• Use projects on different workstations & t2 generate help t2-cli#396
• Colorize t2 list by USB, LAN, PROVISIONED and NOT AUTHORIZED t2-cli#381
• Switch from nomnom to yargs t2-cli#356
• Looking for your Tessel... t2-cli#340
• Progress bar when deploying t2-cli#287
• t2 update: autocheck for out of date firmware with each cli usage t2-cli#257
• t2 update: Use LEDs to indicate that it is updating t2-cli#253
• "Selected" Tessel w/ multiple LAN Tessels found t2-cli#212
• ssh-keygen relies on a binary t2-cli#147

(result by short cross looking issues)

[Frijol]

@johnnyman727 I like the idea & the simplicity of these milestones, but it looks like most of them are already in progress by you or others. Would like to be able to use this or possibly Zenhub so that I/others can decide what to work on next. Can we create an organized Zenhub backlog to fulfill this need?

[johnnyman727]

@Frijol yes, that's a valid point. I think it's actually a good thing that people are already working on these features because they will be more likely to get done. For new contributors. Perhaps we can encourage bug fixes (see note at the top about "urgent" bugs). What do you think about that?

[Frijol]

that sounds good. Also I've just poked through the Zenhub boards and sorted them out; separating "Backlog" from "To do" is useful.

[reconbot]

@johnnyman727 I’m all over "Get a server up and running that can serve binary dependencies” do we have a repo for that server or an issue I can track?

[rwaldron]

@reconbot here's the latest compiler script: https://github.com/tessel/t2-compiler/tree/tcr-new

[rwaldron]

These are notes from when @HipsterBrown and I did a "walk through" brainstorm for the pre-compiled module server. The subject was "socket.io v5.1.0" (which isn't a thing)

[Frijol]

@johnnyman727 do we have issue links for these two items from above?

Get a server up and running that can serve binary dependencies @reconbot
Make USB video/audio module functioning with T2 CLI and OpenWRT @tcr

[Frijol]

if not I can make them

[johnnyman727]

I don't believe we do. That'd be great if you could make them.

[Frijol]

done (linked above)

[Frijol]

...we shipped, so I'm going to resolve this
