I'm in the process of going through all the bugs. When I'm done, all of them will be assigned to a release of Revolution, which (for the record) doesn't absolutely guarantee they will be fixed in that release, but gives a good indication.

The criteria (roughly -- off the top of my head) are:

-- Is it crashing people's built applications?
-- Is it impairing significant functionality in people's built applications?
-- Is it crashing people in Revolution?
-- Is it impairing significant functionality in the Revolution IDE?


For all of these, votes serve to give a measure of how many people are experiencing the problem, and how much of a problem it is for them. Votes can rank bugs within these categories. Whether there is a workaround can impact the importance of a bug.

There are a myriad other considerations, but that gives a rough idea. If any of this isn't clear, or you think I'm being wrong-headed, feel free to say so.

Hi guys,


After seeing some blocking bugs (that crash RR) that never got a reply,
it would be nice to know how to make issues that are important and cause
delays in software delivery be responded sooner.


Votes on a bug seem to be more important that bug criticallity it seems.

If I lay 90 of my votes on a bug, will it be answered faster?
Do I get my points back after the problem is solved?

Thanks for any hints!!

Geoff,

On a similar point, I also don't know how these proceed. Following your
suggestion a few weeks ago I posted bugs 1374, 1375 relating to
behaviour
in Windows without QuickTime and inability to play WAV files. It could be
debatable as to whether these are bugs or feature issues, but the
Quicktime
issue seems to me to be a bug as in my copy of System Requirements, it
states QT needed for development (and only video features) but not for
Applications. So I don't understand why player controls and WAV don't
function without QT on the target machine.

Anyway, my question is really - what happens to these submissions now -
do I
need to do more?

Cheers
Steve

I think I set it to minor, which isn't quite the same thing as
not-important. ;-)

For what it's worth, you didn't submit this bug -- Monte did. The bug
submission didn't describe anything that was being harmed by the bug --
no product broken, no development being stopped. That's why I classed
it as minor.

So as a suggestion to anyone submitting an IDE bug: if you want it to
take priority, be sure add a sentence or two describing why it's a
problem.
