[opensource-dev] Talk/shout circles on minimap, lost in the cracks?
I remember someone submitted a patch a long while ago that added shout and talk circles had been added to the minimap, so you could see who was within range. The Jira is mentioned as jira.secondlife.com/browse/STORM-1068 though it redirects to XD-217 and I don't have access to it. It's also referenced as https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-25117 which redirects to the same. The original thread is here: https://lists.secondlife.com/pipermail/opensource-dev/2011-March/006216.html I was wondering if this was tied up somewhere and just required someone to click "ship it" or if there was an actual problem? I poked at 3.3.1 and it doesn't have this feature yet that I can tell.

As punishment, we assigned it to them to find a better solution :-) In a sense, it did fall through the cracks... I should have bugged them about it before now...

LOL - maps of any kind, even in RL, are confusing! It's the nature of maps. However, for the power user they are designed to be a wealth of information. The circles, and some more of the items I reported a while ago and can no longer find on JIRA that were about making the nearby list more radar-esque, would help clarify many things if done well as well as provide a large dose of information.

[opensource-dev] JIRA entries disappearing into closed projects?
A while ago (a year or so) I reported something like 10 or so JIRA feature requests as a set, all under a meta umbrella. The requests all had to do with a design for improving the Near Me list to be a fairly basic radar replacement. I had placed them all under VWR when I reported them, but when Esbee switched them to STORM they somehow got her name as the reporter - not problem, I just watched the JIRA entries so I would be alerted to changes. Then one of my suggestions was taken up and implemented: the idea of adding the minimap to the Near Me list - I was happy progress was being made. Now I go looking and NONE of them are able to be found. I was able to find some I reported that were related - however the links relating them to the missing entries are gone too. Rather disturbed that it seemed like JIRA entries were being deleted, I just searched my email instead of JIRA. That resulted in the code I was looking for: STORM-642. Once I manually entered that into JIRA I found out that it has since evolved into CHUI-17 and locked out from public access. Is there any way to be notified when JIRA entries that you are watching or are creator of gets renamed so these kinds of surprises don't happen?
