https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Bug_management/Development_prioritization#Why_was_the_priority_lowered?_This_is_important
might be relevant here. In short, there's often a miscommunication around
how to use priorities. The priority is read as "is this important?" but a
lot of times it indicates if someone is working on or going to work on
something now or soon.

Andre also has Q sessions on Phabricator and I'm sure he will cover
Priorities.

My session idea would get a bit more hands-on than Andre's session. It's
sort of 'the next step'.
I'll be doing a live dive into problem descriptions, problem reproduction,
and how things like code search, deploy train logs and Gerrit can help you
look into a ticket that (mostly) someone else has written.

The last time I tried to set a phab ticket's priority, I was basically told 
that volunteers shouldn't be doing that, i.e. changing priorities of phab 
tickets was reserved to WMF staff.  Some clarity around this would be 
appreciated :-)

Would anyone be interest in a session about triaging tickets ?

One of things I do quite often is just take a project in Phabricator and go
through the tickets and determine if:
* The problem (still) exists
* Additional information can be gathered
* Proper projects, tags and work board columns have been applied
* Set a priority
* Ping any person that I think might be able to give more input and/or
could fix or need to know about the ticket

This is work that doesn't require too much of a commitment and can often be
done by most community members if they have a bit of a technical background
and can be very useful to other developers as you make the tickets more
actionable and better navigable, saving ppl time.

So I was thinking, maybe I could do this in the first part of the session
showing how I do this ?
And then maybe others could participate as we go along and I help them if
they get stuck or have questions?
I think it could work quite well in an online format.

Hello all,


Following up on this thread - Komla (cc'd) and I are planning to moderate a
few sessions at the upcoming Wikimedia Hackathon; each focused on a popular
bot to show how one can set it up on their language wiki <
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T306593> [1]. We are currently recruiting
session leaders who are owners / maintainers of a popular bot (for example,
<
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Small_wiki_toolkits/Starter_kit/Bots_and_Tools#Bots>
[2]). We want the session leader to address some commonly asked questions
about setting up a bot (see the task description for details). If you are
interested in joining our efforts and running a session around a bot that
you own, please share your interest in the Phabricator task linked above.


Best,

Srishti
