Hm... I meant the Normal/Critical/Blocker thingy. If that's not priority, then I meant whatever that field is.
But I would consider bugs marked as blockers more severe and more urgent. I don't think the voting system will reflect the exact pain levels of the person. People exaggerate. For example, those surveys where you have 1-5, 1 = not likely at all, and 5 = definitely, people often circle all 5s or all 1s because they want to drag the curve in a certain direction. I'd likely only vote 10 votes on a bug or none at all, because I don't know how to really measure my pain per bug. Others who only want one bug fixed will vote 100 for that bug not because it's really painful but because they don't care about any other bugs. Giving people one vote per bug seems reasonable. It's basically saying, out of the hundreds or thousands of bugs, these are my top 10. Like Brad says, I think we should ensure we use the voting system to guide the direction of bug fixing before we try a new voting system. Also, if you keep voting limited like it is now, bugs with a large number of votes are likely to be major points of pain because they affect many people. Can we have a published list somewhere of the most voted bugs? There used to be the monthly "most requested features" of D, which was horrifically out of date, but it reminded us every month that it was there. A monthly post to the NG of the top 10 or top 20 most voted bugs would help keep people focused on the votes IMO. -Steve ----- Original Message ---- > From: Andrei Alexandrescu <[email protected]> > To: Discuss the phobos library for D <[email protected]> > Sent: Wed, December 8, 2010 5:15:24 PM > Subject: Re: [phobos] Upping the number of bugzilla votes from 10 to 100 > > The P1-P5 thing?
