The implication in the UI seems to be that Resolved means the fix has been committed, and Closed means that it's been verified and all parties are satisfied?
Seems subtle, and probably just a matter of project-by-project convention. Closed seems to be the more resolute way to mark something as done and done. It all sort of feels awash since you can always just modify your searches to include or exclude tasks marked resolved. How about this for a proposed convention: 1) If you are the committer, mark something as resolved 2) If you are the original owner of the task or original assignee, then you mark it as closed after you're totally satisfied Does that seem good? So anything committed is at least resolved, and closed means the person who brought up the problem in the first place is officially satisfied with the result. -----Original Message----- From: Bryan Duxbury [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, January 15, 2009 2:38 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: JIRA statuses resolved vs. closed I also use resolved.
