Question

It seems to me that Wikis and Extreme Programming are like peanut butter and chocolate. Does anyone have any templates or plugins or anything that would support an XP project in TWiki? For example, I'm thinking of something like a web for the Planning Game, where you click a button to create a new story, then you can easily link tasks to the story or similar. I don't have a great feel for exactly how this would work so that's why I'm asking if anyone here has done this or something similar and might have some ideas?

Answer

Wiki:ExtremeProgramming and Wikis appear to have developed together. More thoughts and links start from Codev.ExtremeProgramming.

Take a look at XpTrackerTools. The code hasn't been made available yet, but it should be possible. Maybe RichardBennett could use some help?

I offered to help (as I'm interested in the same thing), but didn't hear anything back. Anyone else have more information about the code or code of their own?

I'm presently working on a system that supports tasks and stories, very much how the XP model works on the programmer-side. This is for my current Software Design class, so the prof. is making me tweak it to his liking (it is for the better). At present I'm stuck on a RegEx issue, which hopefully someone can point me in the right direction toward solving. It's live at my test server, since it's just for my internal testing, don't expect it to be that useful. If you try making just tasks, everything works fine, pages that also have stories currently don't work, but will, if I can get the RegEx issue figured out.

I sent an email to Richard with a pointer to the XpTrackerTools page asking him to respond. Hopefully he can, it would really be ashame if ended up duplicating work.

Check out RollupPlugin right here on TWiki. I just installed it, and it rocks. It does exactly what you want I think.
