sub milestone

[anonymous]

I need the feature to create children milestones.

For example, I planned V1_release as a milestone. OK. Now suppose I plan alpha, alpha2, beta, beta2, rc1, rc2 release, then I'd like to associate these releases as parts of "V1_release".

I'd like to assign these small milestones as children of greater milestone.

Or another example, suppose gnome development process, they have some of phases for each release. Feature freeze, String freeze, Hard UI freeze, etc.

If trac supports sub-milestone, then it is possible to manage these kind of release/development process.

Another long term goal...

Another use case for this would be to categorize high level features or subsystems within an overall release. In project planning this is sometimes called a Work Breakdown Structure. Even a very simple capability of associating milestones in a parent-child relationship would satisfy most my personal project management requirements. I don't necessarily need or want SubTickets (as I understand that) because I need this hierarchy reflected in the Milestones screen and not in each ticket.

Keywords in tickets partially fulfill my requirements in that they can associate sets of tickets for custom reports but what I'm missing is the ability to tie this into the Milestones feature. If anyone has any preliminary implementation ideas I could take a crack at it.

Thanks for your time, and thanks for developing great software like Trac!
