I'm speaking with the developers of another bug tracking system in a private thread, and a couple linguistic things have come up that might be interesting:
* renaming 'unconfirmed' to 'untriaged', and perhaps automating when a bug goes from untriaged to confirmed? (which might be better named 'fixing' or 'waiting for a fixer' or something...) I'd like an even better word, but I think 'untriaged' conveys better what we hope will happen when something goes from inbox->ready for developers/stats/etc. * renaming 'priority' to 'importance'? I think, again, that conveys in slightly less abstract terms what we mean by the field. More abstractly: * how do we get broader exposure to incoming bug flow? lkml credits their high rate of bug fixage to having thousands of eyes see every bug report; bugzilla means that only a few people see any given bug report. * is it time to drop severity? The only way I can think of offhand that we actually use it is when we imply that cosmetic->usabilty and crasher->High priority. Maybe we should just drop the field altogether and figure out another way to deal with those? Anyway, thinking out loud- Luis _______________________________________________ Gnome-bugsquad mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-bugsquad
