| 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 :
- to install/uninstall Minyaa with its code intrusions in JIRA
- to manage licenses to access different modules of Minyaa,
- to process background upgrades
- for enhancing existing features in terms of User Interface
- Workflow Functions (Conditions, Validators and Post),
- Auto Transition Service,
- …
- for following all big changes occurred with JIRA 4.x :
- New License Structure based on user limit,
- Migration from Portlet to Atlassian Gadgets
- New Starter program : 10$ for 10 users
- 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 !
