We may have to manually migrate the useful blueprints to GitLab once
we
have a reasonable process for doing so.
One of my main hopes for the migration is to get a workflow for
collaborative pre-implementation design. Blueprints were a nice idea,
but
they were never fully implemented on Launchpad, and it shows.
It was impossible to implement because anyone with a launchpad account
could create a blueprint and edit any other blueprint. It was very
poorly implemented so it quickly became meaningless.
It'd probably make sense to use the Wiki for that, do you know if it
is
possible for non-committers to have limited Wiki editing rights (e.g.
an
"ideas" namespace with looser permissions, and moving the page to the
"roadmap" namespace later)?
Maybe, but I would rather have a system that a few maintainers who will
ensure the sanity of the system that can edit "blueprints" and anyone
with a GitLab account can comment on but not modify. Certainly anyone
on the mailing list can recommend a blueprint but it will in no way be
the wild west like the current blueprint system.
