Hi Folks, As part of my RT cleanup, I've decided that TODO bugs should have there status set to 'open'. The rational behind this is two fold: a) if it's really a valid TODO item then it is an open issue (where as new TODO item would theoretically be pending review) and b) to reduce the number of 'new' bugs. I'm hoping b) will encourage devs to look at 'new' bugs on a regular basis (yes, you can view new bugs while excluding TODO bugs but this takes an extra step as long as the version of RT we're using won't let you save queries).
I've also been trying (slowly) to get the subject line for all TODO
items into this format:
[TODO] <subsystem/component/topic> - <summary of task>
Robert has changed the online TODO list so that it is sorted
alphabetically by subject (THANKS Robert!).
http://www.parrotcode.org/TODO.html
This causes all TODO items for the same subsystem/component/topic to be
clustered together. For example, all of the IMCC TODOs now appear
contiguously:
(37244) [TODO] IMCC - cleanup grammar
(37248) [TODO] IMCC - create a compiler API
(32667) [TODO] IMCC - documentation needs updating
(37245) [TODO] IMCC - fix symbol handling
(37243) [TODO] IMCC - generate exact location info
(24251) [TODO] IMCC - improve error messages
(34669) [TODO] IMCC - make imcc.l compatible with modern flex
(37247) [TODO] IMCC - remove globals
(32391) [TODO] IMCC - remove lexer's identifier length restrictions
(37246) [TODO] IMCC - remove stack calling conventions
(37242) [TODO] IMCC - separate PASM and PIR parsers
It would be a great help if TODO submitters would adopt this new subject
line format.
Cheers,
-J
