The bug council has now triaged the bugs of 4 engineers with the most bugs targeted for 0.6 release. Their bugs currently count about 37% of all the bugs targeted for 0.6.
We've been able to scrub 51% of the bugs. Scrubbing here means that we either resolved a bug, or were able to move it to another milestone or to another engineer. If the same rate were to continue, and we were able to scrub all the remaining bugs today, we'd have 166 in 0.6 release + 12 in 0.5.06 + 12 untargeted bugs (80% of which most likely we want fixed in 0.6) bugs to fix before shipping 0.6 release. (I think the rate is going to go down a bit the further down the list we go.) So what is the scrubbing criteria? As you all should know, 0.6 is about *dogfood calendar*. So basically anything that stops you using the calendar is a potential blocker. Anything else, like stamping, summary table view issues, email etc. that does not match that criteria is subject to scrubbing. We do make some exceptions for some major stuff in non-calendar essential functionality. Incidentally, if you take a look at your own bugs and see stuff that does not match our 0.6 criteria, feel free to scrub it yourself. We've been getting about 8 new bugs per day (and like I said, targeted/fixed about 80% of those for 0.6), or in other words about 6 per day. We've also been fixing (+worksforme) bugs at about a rate of 7 per day. So just looking at the numbers and ignoring all the rounding errors we would be looking at a ship date something like 6 months from now. But do not despair ;) We've also been prioritizing bugs. If we only fixed P1's, we could ship in 4 days (the joys of statistics)! More realistically we probably will fix all P1 and P2 bugs, and (my guess) half of P3s. That would give us a ship date something like 7 weeks from now. And that is actually what we have in the schedule right now. All of this being a long-winded way of saying that yes, it does look like we'll be shipping 0.6 this year. -- Heikki Toivonen
