That covers comments you shouldn't make, and also has one line about changing fields (which does indeed overlap). It doesn't say what you should do though. >> At the moment people have to tell >> future triagers the same stuff everytime they upgrade permissions. > > Who is upgrading permissions regularly apart from me? Asa, for one. If there are going to be regular bugdays, I assume he will continue to do that regularly. And then there are other people who do it irregularly. Out of interest, what instructions do you give people when you upgrade their permissions? >>>Are there are large number of cases of people misusing their privileges? >>>What are the most common mistakes people make?

Well that's in the document. :) Pretty much nobody should be resolving things as WONTFIX unless they're a module owner or peer. And people shouldn't be resolving things as WFM, just because it does work for them. In fact it's probably mis-named, we need a WORKSFOREVERYONEELSEBUTTHEREPORTERWHOHASGONEAWAY resolution. >>>The instructions for upgrading privileges should match those outlined on >>>http://www.gerv.net/hacking/before-you-mail-gerv.html . >> >> If they are consensus, fine. > > Consensus? They are the _law_, dude :-) If this doc says that the procedure is to email you, then you can certainly define the procedure, and this doc should reflect that :) But going back to the point above, you're not the only person with editusers privileges. Even if everything does go through one person, it's still better to have stuff documented, so that procedures are transparent, and can be picked up easily if that one person goes away (of course I hope you won't be going anywhere, but one never knows) > If so, such developers should be contacting me with the names of people > they think are not using their privileges correctly. They probably should, but it's a lot less effort for them to just correct the mistake and tell the person not to do it again, which is I imagine what you would do anyway in most cases, isn't it? -- Michael _______________________________________________ mozilla-documentation mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/mozilla-documentation
