CSFE Workflow Extractor Tool (and a Survey)
Johannes Nicolai has been diligently working on a new project: "CSFE Workflow Extractor Tool" to help improve the future development of CSFE's tracker.
Seeing how current CSFE features are actually used is a great way of honing software usability. As such, Johannes developed an Open Source CSFE Workflow Extractor Tool that will automatically extract the tracker workflow configuration of your system and store it within an XML file. This XML file will not contain any tracker items, only your workflow configuration.
To help shape the Future of CSFE, take part in a survey about the new tracker workflow functionalities, and use the workflow extractor tool. After you've created an XML file, gzip it and send to panama@collab.net
Take the Tracker Workflow Manager survey
