I would basically agree with Stephane. There has been a tendency recently to move all development issues to GitHub issues. This should be restricted to bugs and well planed enhancements. Preparatory discussions should be carried on the development list and, for broader issues where we will need memory, through Wiki pages.
I also agree with that.
However, I don't think that fully answers my concerns. The list of GitHub issues that are either bug reports or clearly defined enhancements is quite big.
I also think that we need more management of the Dynare project with a reasonable work plan and deadlines that we can monitor.
Indeed. So far I was more or less implicitly assuming that GitHub issues were enough for planning, and the realization that it is not true led to this discussion.
Concretely, what do you have in mind? For example, are you thinking about a wiki page listing all major objectives for the next release, with deadlines, people in charge, and links to more details (GitHub issues or other wiki pages)? I can probably make a first draft of such a plan.
