I completely agree. Here's how I view it: * Goal: reduce the open bug count from http://jira.xwiki.org/secure/Dashboard.jspa#Created-vs-Resolved-Chart/10470 as much as possible. * Consequence: the goal is to take the lowest hanging fruits. * This is an occasion to close easy bugs that we wouldn't look at otherwise * It also serves as cleaning up our JIRA * Devs are free to chose by themselves the bugs they work on * It is *not* a day to implement important bugs listed in the roadmap, although devs can take some from there if they wish * It's only about bugs, not other type of issues Thanks -Vincent >> Thanks >> -Vincent >> >> PS: To see past BFD events, see: >> http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/DevelopmentPractices#HXWikiDays _______________________________________________ devs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
