Hi there, we are a small tram of social researchers working on writing a collective report together. The report has several chapters. Our plan is to use git to store changes and easily traceback to different versions as well as allowing everyone to experiment with new ideas.

I am trying to decide a branching strategy, and so far I guess something like feature branching could do. We could have a branch for each chapter..? And maybe, when a chapter is kind ready, we could merge into main..?

We will have members working potentially on different parts of the report in different moments.

Advice is needed. Thank you!

Hey everyone, I work as a business ans systems analyst and I need to manage a lot of requirements. We are using documents and spreadsheets, but this approach is sooo error prone and time consuming.

I am looking for something that I will use as the sole user, for the moment, as my company has other standards right now. This will help me in making sense of structure and avoid information loss.

My main needs are traceability matrixes for tracing requirements to implementation and test cases, versioning of requirements, tracing of changes in a requirement, analyze impacts of change requests.

I am looking for a tool that supports the following diagramming and modeling frameworks: UML, BPMN, SysML. ArchiMate support might be interesting. It also need to support written requirements and specifications, business rules, objectives.

The current project I am working on extensively uses ontologies, RDF/OWL, and XML. Support for these would also be useful, but not essential. I am mostly interested in the logic of the main requirements tracing processes.

I really liked the ease of use as it was in OSRMT. Unfortunately the software is pretty buggy and unmaintained. ReqView is another very good software for written requirements, but it supports diagramming only as attachment of files, and also is not free and open source :(

So, I tried Modelio, Papyrus, Archi, OSRMT, ReqView. Here's the source I checked the most: https://www.requirementsmanagementtools.com/opensource.php Something like Enterprise Architect from Sparx Systems is cool, but very complex to use.

Apparently, this kind of software is very niche and corporate oriented, so there is just a bunch of free and open source products for this kind of activities.

I am open for any idea! Thank you

Hi everyone! Due to so many projects I'm involved into, I need an easy way to organize and visualize tasks, dependencies, and durations in order to properly plan my week.

I'm looking for an organizer app that fulfills the following requirements:

• must have a calendar management systems
• it must support multiple caldav calendars at the same time
• must have a to-do list
• each time the user creates a to-do element, they should have the option to reserve a specific time on the calendar
• when they decide to reserve a specific time on the calendar, the calendar might be chosen among the multiple support ones
• to-do tasks might be visualized as a mindmap
• for every leaf / "outer children" of the mindmap, must correspond a to-do element with the specific calendar

Does anybody knows something that does all of this?

Thank you

This is probably something for spit cooking, but looks like it could have been an amazing torture device lol

Hi everyone, I have some technical questions regarding federation. Answers backed by documentation would be perfect.

1. Is there a way to get the list of federated instances of a specific instance?
2. (Regarding question 1, should this consider active followers between instances? If not actively defederated/blocked, when one account follows another from another instance, the two instances get federated, right?)
3. Can I get a list of actively blocked/defederated/muted instances?
4. How does this change between applications? Are for example Lemmy and Mastodon the same?

My goal is to possibly create a graph/network analysis.

Thank you for your help.
