Hey, Personally I would say that the way to approach "clearing the mantis" would be... not clearing the mantis :P
Rather, get someone to go through each ticket and jot down a summary of each; then you'll end up with a list of stuff that needs fixing (or changing, or adding). The core devs can then hold a meeting with a view to re-order the list based on their percieved priority, and then publish it as a list of short term goals. ~T James Stallings II wrote: > I think its a great tone Stefan :D > > I think that even failing to accomplish the goals of such an effort > would produce much benefit for the project. > > Sign me up :) > > *sharpens mantis pencils* > > > > On Sun, May 31, 2009 at 8:43 AM, Stefan Andersson > <ste...@tribalmedia.se <mailto:ste...@tribalmedia.se>> wrote: > > Again, this would be entirely by agreement - anybody not wishing > to do bug fixing can do whatever they like, but I do think even > core devs get a kick out of bugfixing now and then, and adding > stuff like those pesky last lsl commands. > > Regarding the mantis, there are several things that can be done; > and what I was _really_ thinking was that "clearing" would mean > "getting organized" > > If we can rally users and testers to help with the mantis, there > are a number of things that can be done; > 1) De-duplicate > 2) Place mantis is "feature" vs "bug" - I did say "feature freeze" > and this is roughly what I meant - the feature mantises would > linger, but would not be part of this endeavour > 3) Off major feature bugs onto the feature voting site > 4) Re-reproduce and close of non-reproducible > 5) Place major issues (that would require major restructuring) in > a "post 0.7.0" category > > This way, we could "clear" mantis, as in getting to a point where > all issues with the current feature set is fixed or closed. > > Again, only striving to set a tone. > > Best regards, > Stefan Andersson > > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Date: Sun, 31 May 2009 06:34:36 -0700 > > From: nebadon2...@gmail.com <mailto:nebadon2...@gmail.com> > To: opensim-dev@lists.berlios.de <mailto:opensim-dev@lists.berlios.de> > Subject: Re: [Opensim-dev] 0.7 Release Discussion > > I can agree with that, if everyone else agrees i have no problem > with it, I would just hate for anyone to think that we are locking > things up and they wont have our support.
