Hmm, yeah. So my preference is EXPIRED followed closely by ABANDONED and last INSUFFICIENT DATA. I already wrote my considerations about INSUFFICIENT DATA in the other subthread. Why do I prefer EXPIRED over ABANDONED? The first is less loaded with emotion, while the latter implies some kind of guilt (at least to me). Thus the latter has a higher chance of provocing the reporter into blame-gaming and trying to prove that WE abondoned the bug and not HE/SHE. Since this is intended for bugs where we assume there wont be any productive data following, I'd think that would be counterproductive. Best, Bjoern N.B.: The launchpad bug states names provoke the reporter early on (NEEDINFO is called "incomplete" which is clearer in calling the reporter into action) and if that doesnt provide results tries to silently kill the issues (bugs get auto-set to "expired" after 90 days of inactivity with a countdown shown as long the bug is in "incomplete". When it happens nobody complains as launchpad already gave those 90 days before and you had it coming.) _______________________________________________ List Name: Libreoffice-qa mailing list Mail address: Libreoffice-qa@lists.freedesktop.org Change settings: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-qa Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice-qa/
