Thanks. I don't think we should run it. I looked at 75 bugs - 10% or so of the medium bugs. I didn't keep hard figures (doh!) but about 4-5 became high, I closed maybe 20 of them, and the rest went to low. Except for one incomplete (https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpad/+bug/4730). This took me 90 minutes or so, so about 80 seconds a bug. OTOH, closing 25% of those bugs because they have become irrelevant is valuable, as is the improvements I made to bugs I didn't understand - we have some very uhm, brief, bug descriptions in there ;). I think we should just treat those bugs as untriaged and triage them; we'll close a bunch which is good, and we'll find things that really we do want to do, which is frustrating, but helpful - some operational stuff was in there, which affects us daily. I'm happy to chew through them by doing a page a day, though I would welcome anyone else joining in! On the bigger picture - Francis is working hard on the analysis of the critical bugs: we all know there is a big issue, the question is -why-: - Where are the criticals coming from (e.g. data growth, added-by a team( features/maintenance/contributors/other(e.g. flacoste, me n stub)) - which ones of the criticals that come in do we fix - who fixes which criticals (same breakdown With some clear data on this, we can start talking about ways to address it : I don't want to speculate about what we'll find, but I think any action like 'lets shuffle our bug database around' is premature *until* we know whats really going on. -Rob _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev Post to : launchpad-dev@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
