This means the report doesn't have enough information for a developer to verify its a bug. > "Closed" (actually: Why do we have 5 different Closed states ?) This is so its a bit more clear why the bug is closed, Users may spend a lot of time to report a bug, so Fixed/Closed, Todo/Closed, Rejected/Closed, WontFix/Closed, all have quite different meanings - and anyone can see at a glance why its closed. > "Ready" This is to be used when a fix is ready but hasn't been committed (perhaps because of feature freeze or its awaiting feedback from the maintainer). > All other entries make sense to me, but these 3 > i do not understand. > > * What about adding a brief documentation for the Status field ? > To explain what the different status entries mean ? > > * Why is Status "Confirmed" not considered as an Open Bug report? > So maybe "Confirmed" might also need a clarification ? > Or is the public "Open Bugs" query just wrong ? Just checked and `Confirmed` has status open, there is some strange problems with bugtracker list display though, IIRC - not displaying some fields when not logged in. > * The Priority help page is not helpful. > So what priority do i give to bugs ? > I always set them to 3 (i keep hands away from that). > So what is it good for ?can it be removed ? Apparently removing fields gives problems with the database. > * The "Assigned To" and "Summary" Help pages are a joke, are they ? > Can't these help pages be removed ?
