Definition and Examples
Definition: TW issue tacker is a system to track tasks (e.g., a conference paper plan, a required feature to an application, or a machine problem to be fixed) related to the TW group, which usually involves multiple people and is estimated to take weeks to months to finish. It is NOT just about bug or feature tracking for the wiki system itself.
Action: An issue can be further tracked in actions, which can be reported on the issue page.
An issue you raised or are assigned to will also show up on your wiki homepage if you are a TW member. If an issue belongs to a project, it will also show up at the project page.
All issue related pages, including its actions and comments, are protected pages, because they are in the "tw" domain space.
Examples of issue usage:
- Plans and progress of a conference paper: tw:ISSUE-45
- Feature request: tw:ISSUE-17
- Fix a machine problem: tw:ISSUE-41
