Hi, both in GeoTools and GeoServer we have piled up a significant number of open issues. How do we pick the ones to solve?
Sometimes it's really hard. Voting on issues is not very common, and the few issues with many votes are usually associated to new features that would take significant time to implement. Issues with attached patches are also important not to overlook, however very often the "patch" flag is not raised, making the search quite useless too. So I was wondering and it occurred to me that counting the number of attachments is usually a good indicator of either the presence of patches, or at the very least an indication that the reporter went the extra mile to attach data, screenshots, something that makes the issue usually better defined and thus easier to solve. I looked around and found a Jira plugin that allows to index, and thus sort, by the number of attachments, and asked Codehaus if they were interested in installing it: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/HAUS-1921 Well, they did! Here are searches for open issues with the most attachments in GeoTools and GeoServer: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?reset=true&jqlQuery=project+%3D+GEOT+AND+status+in+%28Open%2C+Reopened%29+AND+%22Number+of+attachments+%22+%3E%3D+%221%22+ORDER+BY+cf%5B10210%5D+DESC%2C+key+DESC http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?reset=true&jqlQuery=project+%3D+GEOS+AND+status+in+%28Open%2C+Reopened%29+AND+%22Number+of+attachments+%22+%3E%3D+%221%22+ORDER+BY+cf%5B10210%5D+DESC%2C+key+DESC Well, they still return some oddball results there are interesting one in the mix too. It seems like an improvement over the previous "good jiras" search attemtps, imho. Hope it's useful for others too.
