[HACKYSTAT-DEV-L] Issue Reduction and Related Admin Hassles and Hackystat Bug

[(Cedric) Qin ZHANG]

Hi,

The new issue reducer is now deployed, you can find the result on csdl 
telemetry wall. But Mike and I found that the issue number is 
underreported. There are a couple of reasons:

1. All issue data are sent with workspace prefix "C:/jira/", so 
everybody having a csdl jira account should set this as their workspace 
root in Hackystat. Mike sent out the email request month ago, but it 
seems that most people in CSDL has not done so (including Mike and me).

2. When creating a issue in jira, you can put anything in workspace 
field. This field MUST corresponds to one or more of the workspaces in 
Hackystat-7 project (besides, it's case sensitive.) My recent finding is 
that Mike has 2 open 7.3 issue, one has non-existent workspace name, the 
other has the wrong case.

I start to believe it's a hassle to manually make sure the correctness 
of issue workspace field.

3. There is bug in Hackystat workspace root configuration. It appears 
that DailyProjectIssue instances are not invalidated when you modify 
your workspace root. As a result, after everyone in csdl adds "C:/jira" 
in their workspace root, we need to restart our server to invalidate the 
cache objects. I record this as a bug for Hongbing.

Cheers,

Cedric
