Re: Bug Triage

Hi, Well even if Daniel is willing to step up and help me I think you should too if you are interested, having couple of people willing to drive it on is important - so if one falls out due to family problems, vacation, work etc etc then the others can pick up the slack, 2 guys might be not enough for that :-P I like daniels idea of focusing on X and Y package, up till now it's mostly been about allowing people to pick the package they want to work on and assist with that so we've usually ended up with 1 package per person and nobody working on the same thing, that seemed to work fine when we are dealing with the small packages. So if we try to focus on a single package or a task (for example documentation writing) it would be good. One extremely important thing we could do is pick a really popular package with low test count and go nuts - I think we should be able to setup some kind of a mashup with a smallish algo that tells us packages that are popular + test count + total bugs + current open ones ... Obviously something more clever than that tho ;-) Anyway brainstorm away boys - I'm hoping I found a power outlet soon at the airport or I won't be able to join in the discussion until tomorrow.
