Minyaa Suite was born to replace Kaamelot plugin, a plugin created 5 years ago, where I tried to merge all enhancements brought to JIRA, in order to meet our needs.

This first year was mainly spent:

  • for dispatching features by theme in dedicated modules,
  • for integrating different mechanisms :
  • for enhancing existing features in terms of User Interface
  • for following all big changes occurred with JIRA 4.x :
  • for extending Minyaa Time’s report with any type of Fields
  • for extending Minyaa Workflows with a Workflow Designer able to :
    • provide a graphical way to define your workflows
    • integrate more features provided by OSWorkflow (Common Transitions, Global Transition, Recursive Transition)
  • for assisting you in the adoption of Minyaa, which is easier to install than Kaamelot when procedure is followed, but can be difficult when a step is skipped.

Next year we will concentrate on the following points:

  • ERADICATE most intrusions performed by Minyaa, in order to :
    • simplify its installation,
    • support the UPM (Universal Plugin Manager)
    • perhaps support JIRA Studio (this will be a challenge!)
    • stop making the Atlassian Support guys crazy about Minyaa ;)
  • Continue to enhance Minyaa Workflows’s features (OSWorkflow has again some useful mechanisms),
  • Extend Minyaa Time with new features (wait and see!),
  • Integrate Myrddin plugin  in Minyaa Projects (Don’t try finding it… It was developed at the same time as Kaamelot, but was never released)
  • And always assist you in the adoption of Minyaa.

Happy Birthday Minyaa !
