FDS-SMV Development Activity Monitor.

Now there are now two new options for monitoring the development activity of the FDS-SMV project.

The Google Code Hosting site has added a new page for viewing updates.
http://code.google.com/p/fds-smv/updates/list

If you prefer to see the updates through an RSS feed reader, that is also available.
http://code.google.com/feeds/p/fds-smv/updates/basic

These two new features enable users to keep up with the FDS-SMV development efforts in a more open and convenient manner than before.

In addition to monitoring the activity of the Google Code development site, you can also keep track of Discussion activity through your choice of either an RSS or an Atom feed.

RSS: http://groups.google.com/group/fds-smv/feed/rss_v2_0_msgs.xml
Atom: http://groups.google.com/group/fds-smv/feed/atom_v1_0_msgs.xml

FDS-SMV Issue Tracker Tips...

When visiting the Issue Tracker, there are a few tips to keep in mind that will help you find what you are looking for.

Modifying the List View:
Above the list of Issues there is a pull down combo-box that will list for you the various filters for what Issues will be displayed. It is usually set to only show Open issues, but there are otherfilters that will allow you to see All issues and Your issues. If you have clicked the Star next to important issues that you want to keep track of, it will also show you Starred Issues.

This leads into another tip...

Starring Important Issues:
By starring an issue, you not only mark that the issue is important to you. It will also allow us on the Admin side to sort the list by the issues that have the most stars. This helps us know what issues are the most important to all users.

Finally, here is a little information online giving you additional Issue search tips from Google.
