Thoughts on using JIRA more effectively

2006-06-02 Thread Matt Hogstrom
Having done two releases I have some thoughts on how we are using JIRA. I imagine that there are a number of thoughts on how we can manage JIRA. Currently we create a release and then pretty much dump most everything into it. What ends up happening is that we end up with more JIRAs than we

Have we considered using the voting system built into JIRA to figure out which JIRAs should really get attention? Sometimes when I have a few spare cycles I'll go looking for JIRAs to fix and this additional metric would help me choose. It would also give us an additional way to listen to the

Can we mark some of the older M* builds are archived?  That will help make the "Raised In Versions (non-archived))" portlet more useful.I'm curious... has everyone setup their JIRA home/dashboard to show more details specific to Geronimo... if not, I'd recommend creating a new "Geronimo" portal

So... an observation from a non-committer. If there's a JIRA that a non-committer would like to fix, can that non-committer be assigned the JIRA? I ask because the prospect of diving into something, spending several hours on it, and submitting a patch only to find out that in the meantime,

Here's what I'd like: - a prioritized list of stuff I plan to work on for a release (where the priorities are priorities on my list, not necessarily corresponding to severity of problem, etc.) - a list of bugs that *someone* ought to look at for a release - features (and more rarely, bugs) that
