Re: [wtp-dev] [Action] Bugzilla house cleaning

Thanks Jeffrey, that's a very helpful
link and very 
interesting queries. 

I'm not sure we have agreement on the
procedure, though. 

Setting the target: 

I know the base platform eclipse doesn't
set the target until they 
are sure it will be in that target (that
might apply to some of our 
cases, but I hate to get started setting
a target, just to mean "not now"). 
We should use "later". I know
some have objected because that 
causes the status field to "resolved".
I'd advocate just changing our 
queries to included "resolved-later"
as meaning "unresolved" to us humans. 
From reading the bugzilla help workflow,
it sounds like 
"resolved later" is a normal
state, and we just have to 
educated ourselves on how to do our
queries. 
(And, if we all in WTP agree with this,
you could add it to 
your query page :)

inbox:

Plus, I'm not sure being in the inbox
is a sign of anything, other than 
its not being actively worked on ...
so, I agree, if it is being work on, 
it should go into the assigned state,
etc. But .. again, hate to see 
people assigning the bugs to individuals,
just to mean "has been 
triaged" ... I supposed to could
see about getting a "triaged" 
field, but not sure "untriaged
bugs" are anything we need to 
worry about right now. 
(I checked, and the base eclipse bugzillas
have TONS of bugs 
in the inbox). 
I normally assign to a person when I
mean "I think you should look 
at this soon, at least to diagnosis
... "  which if we change it to 
mean "has been triaged", then
not sure

Other opinions?  What problem we
trying to solve?

David

Subject	[wtp-dev] [Action] Bugzilla house cleaning

Hi team,

We have some house cleaning to do in bugzilla. Here's a laundry list of
what needs to be done:

1. Everyone, please verify and close all resolved bugs.

2. Component leads, please start defering bugs that we are not going to
fix
in WTP 0.7. We need to assign a target to these bugs.

3. Component leads, I notice there are quite a few bugs still sitting at
the inbox. They give the impression that nobody is looking at them,
although some of them are already being looked at or even fixed... Let's
get them out of the inbox and assign them to someone.

I've put up a Web page with some bugzilla queries in it that should help
you do this cleanup more easily. Here's the link to the page:

http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/development/bugs/bugs.html

This page is also linked from the main WTP development resource page:

If you have other queries that you want to see, feel free to let me know.

Thanks,
