Hi everyone, As you may or may not have noticed from the hundreds of emails I have no doubt generated (I kept some of the traffic off the dev list with bulk changes, but you cant fix some things in bulk without losing data), I have been on some JIRA cleanup sprees both recently and in spots over the last several months. This included resolving completed and/or redundant JIRAs as well as moving obviously incomplete ones to different fix-for versions, archiving some of our ancient versions, and removing a few Components that were either duplicates, obviously-defunct, or the contents of which seemed far better served by identification though use of Labels.
One of the things I was aiming to do was clear the released versions of outstanding JIRAs so they dont show up on the front pages as being incomplete, as it was a little ridiculous that we still had things open for released versions going back to 2008. I have now got that number down to a grand total of 2 which I'm not too sure whether to resolve or bump forward, so can their respective owners noted below (or anyone else with a clue) please do so: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-3369 (Alan) https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-3079 (Ken) I am sure there is still a vast amount of cruft in JIRA that we can tidy up, there are still almost 500 open issues which seems more a bit much. I dont have anywhere near enough knowledge about many of the non-Java components to judge whether a lot of issues can be closed or not (short of them basically saying 'we will never do this' or 'this is done' and having commits..which, surprisingly, several actually did), so it would be good id those who do could take a look. This sort of thing would be *so* much easier to do if we could get things into a managable state and then keep it there with mere minutes of attention now and then. I'm not done looking at the Java stuff, I'm sure there are still duplicates and invalid things that can be closed and I know there are still several open JIRAs for the Java client that have work done on them that it should be possible to close (Rajith, I'm looking at you sitting with the most assigned open issues in the project :P).
