[p2pu-dev] tracker motivation (Re: links in course edit view broken)

[zuzel.vp]

Hi,

Using the tracker is not mandatory, though it helps because I get
instantly notified when a new ticket is created. I also read emails on
the mailing lists which first go into my gmail task list and finally
into lighthouse. Posting request on new.p2pu.org could be also a way
though it is probably slower (if I am a participant I will get
notified of the course updates but I am only following some of the
courses). In general the stream of new tasks comes through different
ways, lighthouse just let you jump through a few steps (maybe a
feature like: http://help.lighthouseapp.com/kb/getting-started/how-do-i-send-tickets-via-email
could be useful to you). For me, lighthouse lets me have my todo list
organized (by using milestones, tags, comment threads, status updates
by email, ...).
