[Pharo-dev] Penelope Re: Call for CleanUp of the issue tracker

[Ben Coman]

I have two tickets open on Penelope... https://pharo.fogbugz.com/default.asp?11550 https://pharo.fogbugz.com/default.asp?11551 I'd be happy to give them a go myself if I had access to the code and be able to test it. cheers -ben Marcus Denker wrote: On 17 Sep 2014, at 13:02, Nicolai Hess <nicolaih...@web.de> wrote: Yes but, 2014-09-17 11:25 GMT+02:00 Marcus Denker <marcus.den...@inria.fr>: Hello, There are right now 675 open issues.  (we managed to close 63 just the last 7 days…). A lot of those issues are very old. A lot are in a bad shape: -> not reproducible -> *completely* unclear what action could lead to solve the issue -> outdated (e.g. small improvements submitted ages ago, but even              the author does not care to submit a new version for Pharo4) I think we should be more radical in closing issues. If someone submits something but can not even answer a simple question in 2 months —> this is the same as “I don’t care”. 2 months are to short. 4 or maybe 6. Yes, you are right 6 months is good. The idea is that the issue will be closed, but with a mail to the “owner” of the issue so that he/she can decide to re-open… and “will work on that later” would be a valid answer. There are open issues without any action on our part -  for months. And that does not mean "we don't care". If someone reports an issues and don't have the time to react on comments/questions for a couple of months, I understand that. nicolai   So *PLEASE*: -> check all the issue that *you* submitted. Are they still relevant? Is there enough  information for anyone to do anything? -> check all the issues you where involved with in discussions. It is much easier for    you than for me to understand what the conclusion of the discussion is. -> help checking *old* entries. Is is still relevant? What is the next action? +1   Marcus
