I am think about the kinds of activities that can be done to close as many bugs as possible for the Launchpad 10.12 release.
I review all the bugs in the registry, answers, blueprints, and web every month. I do not expect any to find many closed or duplicate bugs. I tried searching other launchpad projects for overlapping issues, such as gpg and ssh keys, but there were only a handful of dupes. There are other ways to close bugs. Fix trivial bugs By trivial, I mean the fix can be put into review in 1 hour. For the purpose of the bugjam, the time might be 2 or 3 hours. The essential point is that the work is time-boxed, and that a contributor can do more than 1 bug a day. The registry team has a zero-trivial policy so there are rarely any such bugs for us to work on. We can fix trivial bugs in other Launchpad apps. Remove blocking issues There are several bugs that are could be easy to fix if a blocking issue was addressed. The team and user pages have could be redesigned to make the remaining ui bugs trivial, or at least simple. Reclassify the issue reported Our policy is to accept any bug that we are will to accept a patch for. We might be able to combine several bugs if we describe the kind of fix we will accept. For example. There are many bugs about presenting, editing, and deleting comments in several areas of Launchpad. I know that all comments are IMessage. I personally would not accept a fix that does not directly address IMessage; One fix for bugs, questions, and merge proposals. Reconsider a feature Team polls are in a bad state. We could fix about 10 bugs in a week by redesigning how polls are setup. We could also remove team polls and close all the bugs. Pay down tech-debt There are many tech-debt tagged bugs that are refactorings. They are not trivial, but they also do not require a lot of QA to confirm the issue is addressed. Many issues are about removing code duplication, remove unused code, or provide a test for code. I think many issues could be fixed in 3 hours. -- __Curtis C. Hovey_________ http://launchpad.net/
