Grant - there are a ton of good patches from Paul in JIRA. There was also that one from a person at IBM, I think, the one that improved performance of interleaved add/delete operations. I think that one would be good to apply before it gets stale.
Other than that - yeah, go by votes, I'd say, although I suspect most people don't vote. I try to vote when I remember and like the fix. Otis ----- Original Message ---- From: Grant Ingersoll <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Lucene Developer's List <java-dev@lucene.apache.org> Sent: Wednesday, June 14, 2006 7:52:01 PM Subject: Bugs So, being the newbie committer, I have been looking through the bug list trying to figure out where I can contribute some help. It seems to me like there are a lot of patches/bugs that are languishing (through no one's fault, we are all busy and this is a volunteer project). I know you can vote on bugs and also give bugs a priority, but I am not sure how useful these are at this point since the highest vote getter is Issue 443 with a sum total of 5 votes (hardly a mandate) and a lot of them are listed as increased priority. There are also a number of bugs that date back as far as 2002 which I highly doubt are all that useful at this point unless someone wants to patch a specific branch. So, I guess I am wondering where I can be the most helpful? I would like to propose we close out some of these older bugs as "Won't Fix" (people will still be able to browse the closed bugs), perhaps any bug before Jan. 1, 2004. Would this be useful? I don't want to just do busy work, but I also want to have a better idea of where efforts should be focused so we can continue to improve Lucene. Anyone have any other ideas? Or maybe someone wants to convince me that there bug should be worked on right away... :-) If this is useful, is there anyone that is willing to help? Perhaps we can divy them up. I don't think you have to be a committer to manipulate JIRA, just a "Lucene Developer" which we could probably grant to someone if appropriate. -Grant --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
