Hi, A reminder that the tracker is to help developers to make the next stable release. As we have more users this means we get many more reports which should not become such a burden that it slows down development.
1) Priorities The first thing for everyone to understand is that we need to prioritize. Just because a bug is easy to fix doesn't mean it is the best usage of our time. This is also a great opportunity for new developers to tackle low/normal bugs since it is unlikely the core team will be able to tackle them. That said, even reviewing these fixes take time, so the sooner people can help with the High/Medium confirmed tasks the better. 2) Triaging The inflow of bug reports is massive, so triaging is a never ending effort. For anyone willing to help with triaging we have compiled this "bug triaging playbook" to help out: https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/Process/Bug_Reports/Triaging_Playbook We will be handling reports which aren't clear or seem like feature requests by closing them immediately. 3) Bcon2 During Bcon2 we should focus on stabilizing the new added features, while tackling any other known issues. It is also a good time for the modules to look at the pile of confirmed bugs and set their priorities straight. In other words, to cherry-pick the issues that we plan to address in time for Blender 2.81 and set the High Priority ones (or lower some to Medium). This will also be our compass once Bcon3 comes to determine whether we are to work on new features (bcon1 for blender2.82 starts at the same time) or stick to addressing high priority bugs. ========================= Some juicy numbers: We have close to 1,300 confirmed bugs at the moment. Confirmed bugs per priority, 1,296: - High: 18, Medium: 737, Normal: 275, Low: 266 Needs triage by developer, 374 bugs: - September: 180, August: 194 There are also quite some "Waiting for Developer to Reproduce", besides bugs from previous months. Speaking of August and September, from these months alone we have 146 confirmed bugs: - High: 11, Medium: 106. Normal: 4, Low: 25 Thank you everyone, Dalai _______________________________________________ Bf-committers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers
