We might want to clarify that we *always* resolve *all* bug reports with a known fix. It's the feature requests where we fall behind, especially those without patches.
And, of course, we always close all tickets against a particular version before releasing it (which often means moving feature requests to a future release.) It does sound like it would be a record for S1 over the last four years. (Thanks for cleaning these up!) Though, in the beginning, we were able to keep the lid on the reported issues, so it's hard to tell if it's historic over all seven years. Back in the day, we were probably hitting 100%. The reported issues bulked up during the Struts 1.1 death march, when we fell behind on the feature requests (many of which overlapped). We'd have to be careful with the wording, since something like this is easy to spin the other way. According to JIRA, 85% of Tapestry's and Wickets issues are closed, Spring 2 is at 82%, and Hibernate 3 is at 67%. * http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAPESTRY * http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WICKET * http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/spring/browse/SPR?report=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.project:openissues-panel So, we might want to mention something about many open source projects have over 80% of issues closed at any time, and Struts is creeping past 90%. One concern would be that if we start focusing too much on open tickets, people might think twice before opening a new ticket, and I don't know if that's a good thing or not. -Ted.
