And on the seventh day Clover spoke: >> *What to do and what not to do in Bugzilla* > >document title and heading don't match. I like the title better. Can you >change it to "Rights and duties when triaging bugs"?
I like the other one better, so I changed the title to "What to do and what not to do in Bugzilla". :-) >> If you want to get bugzilla privileges > >change all "bugzilla" to "Bugzilla" Yes. >> You should report a bug in the NEW state under the condition that >> you've gone gone through the triaging process as listed in the >> two mentioned guides yourself. > >You should only report a bug in the NEW state after going through the >triaging process as described in the two above-mentioned guides. Yes. >> You should look at all the bugs you've reported ... >> at least every two months and test whether they still exist. > >"all the open bug reports" Yes. >I prefer "periodically" over "at least every two months" "Periodically" can also be every five years. >> Therefore, don't abuse your privileges > >"Don't abuse this privilege." or "Don't abuse your privileges." I like the "therefore" here. It connects this sentence with the one before. |The more powerful editbugs privilege gives you the privileges of |canconfirm and also the ability to edit most aspects of a bug. |Don't abuse your privileges. doesn't sound very well. The two sentences seem to be very alien to one another. >> Whenever you resolve a bug, CC yourself on the bug so that you >> are informed when new facts come up. > >"When you..." and "CC yourself so that..." Yes. >> If you're uncertain about resolving a bug, leave it alone! > >When in doubt, leave it alone. I changed it to "When in doubt about resolving a bug, leave it alone!" >> the bug reporter has not responded to questions for four weeks >> and the bug can't be reproduced with a current build. > >nit. "one month" is easier arithmatic-wise than "four weeks" Yes. >> The exception are bugs in other software which we have to work >> around. > >Not neccessary "bugs". I already explained this in <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >And I think the form of "be" word goes with the subject: "The >exception is issues in..." Really? >> Bugs covering these exceptions should not be INVALIDated by anyone >> other than the module owner or module peer. > >I count one "exception". Right. >This is a bit ambiguous: if you are not the module owner or peer, can >you invalid'ate a bug? You can invalidate a bug as long as the bug does not cover the exception. >Tech Evangelism should link to TE project page Done. >> Bug reports about crashes, hangs, dataloss, or severe security >> exploits (e.g. remote execution of arbitrary code) get the critical severity. > ><tt></tt> around "crash", "hang", etc? >Also, they should link to the keywords page: > >Bug reports with crash, hang, or dataloss <a>keyword</a> or involving >severe security exploits (e.g. remote execution of arbitrary code) get >the critical severity. No. All bugs covering crashes, hangs, or dataloss get the critical severity, not only those that have the keyword. >> If a bug belongs to a different Product or Component it should be >> reassigned. See this description of the products in bugzilla. > >If a bug belongs to a different Product or Component it should be >reassigned (see the <a>component description</a> of the products). The link does describe the different products. If you click on the link to one of the products the product components are described. So I think the current wording is correct. >> Make sure that you also test Thunderbird or Firebird bugs with the >> Application Suite and move the bug to one of the core products > >"core components" This was written in light of the coming bugzilla reorganization. >Thunderbird and Firebird should both link to projects/<product>/ page. Yes. >> If you don't know where a bug belongs, don't touch it! >> ... and don't leave bugs in the JS engine Component if you know >> that the malfunction being described is a DOM problem. > >didn't you say "don't touch it"? I say "don't touch it, if you don't know what you're doing". The last sentence says "please touch it, if you what you're doing". Simon -- Rusty: You scared? Linus: You suicidal? Rusty: Only in the morning.
