Although "It's always been done that way" is a lousy reason for continuing to do something, in this case, "It's always been done that way" and it seems to work. My experience with other open source projects is that bugs are left as NEW until someone is ready to work on one. As long as it doesn't take months to get to working on bugs, leaving them as NEW for a few days or even weeks shouldn't be a problem. > ASSIGN in my opinion just means that this guy is responsible for this > component and could help to solve it. ASSIGN isn't equal to ACTIVE in my > opinion. If you add an ACTIVE state to bugzilla (should be doable) then I have no problem with you setting the state to ASSIGNED. Then again, as this project grows and more and more developers are willing to accept and fix bugs, you shouldn't be taking responsibility for every bug or assigning it to yourself. > Maybe a comment to the bug could help to say "Hey I will start working on > this now". Would this help you? The problem with this is that it requires looking at the long listing of bugs, not just the summary. That's very tedious. Either my original suggestion (leave new bugs as NEW) or adding a new status ACTIVE work for me. I don't think it's really appropriate for you to accept all bugs unless you're planning on working on them soon, but that's really up to you. I'd like to help fix stuff, and if it's easy enough for me to find things to work on, I'll likely do so. Cheers, Derrell All the advantages of Linux Managed Hosting--Without the Cost and Risk!
