Hello kiko, hello fellow MOTUs
I did receive some answers, thanks to everyone who has contributed so far, all your comments will get considered and used to compile a big picture! However, I'm sorry to say that I didn't manage to compile prioritised list that the launchpad crew asked us to do, yet. I don't have the feeling that we enough answers to form a representative opinion on what specs the launchpad crew should work on next, so I'd suggest that we leave people a bit more time to discuss the list I've sent around. Moreover, I'll be away from net for vacation starting on tomorrow. I've therefore asked Stefan Potyra to complete the task and forwarded him all emails that you have sent me so far, I hope this is OK for everyone. Please send further lists and comments to him. My current impression is that the list of specs is too long. The answers I received so far show a very mixed picture. There were quite some fearful comments about some specs (like the "Sorry, you aren't experienced enough to be allowed to report a bug"-spec), where I think that there is mainly misunderstanding involved. We could of course try to educate people more about the meaning of the various specs, but since the launchpad guys need the list rather quickly, I'm not sure if it is worth doing that. Having said this, I have a urgent plea: If you implement a spec, please, pretty please think about who is going to be affected by a change, and talk to them before starting to change launchpad. Any change that has the potential to have an effect on workflows we already agreed on is very likely to cause confusion and anti-sentiments. This already has happened in the past, unfortunately. And the answers I received so far support these observations. As a short mid-term summary, I've identified the following points as pretty important so far: * Fixing bug nominations-related specs * Activity log-related specs * Performance (currently lp takes about 3(!) secs for a bug page) * Unsubscribe from implicit subscriptions The list is rather short, I agree. I do hope that this email will be received as a 2nd call for help. Ideally our teams that are heavy users of launchpad bugs can discuss themselves what things of the list they would like to see implemented rather sooner than later. Thanks for reading this and your contributions so far. Now, I'm handing over to Stefan, who has thankfully agreed to take over until I return. See you all soon! -- Gruesse/greetings, Reinhard Tartler, KeyID 945348A4 -- Ubuntu-motu mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-motu
