I was thinking about this some more last night, and since I’m in software, here’s the software I think I’d want: Create a list of Alerts, each of which know how to do two things: 1) Determine whether a given jira issue matches the alert 2) Determine an Alertee for a matching issue. One of

I believe the first 3 dashboards can be done in JIRA itself. I have something similar, but unfortunately cannot share the dashboard (no permission it seems). The last one (breakdown of creation date? by year) is something that JIRA does not seem to be able to give. In terms of pulling data, I

I’m not a committer, but Solr is the first major open source project I’ve followed closely enough to get a feel for the actual community. The issues coming up in this thread have been rattling around in my head for at least the last year, and I’m absolutely thrilled to see this conversation. I

I also agree with Alex regarding tagging the issues and perhaps if possible/known, tag the effort/complexity level (high, medium, easy or beginner/seasoned etc.) that new comers can also contribute. This may help to get the low-hanging fruits to get done quicker and close some of them. Thanks,

I think the first step should be about increasing visibility rather than enforcing transition rules (so the report and reminder part). I've just been looking into Jira's reporting and it is quite flexible, but takes a while to wrap a mind around. Somebody digging in and coming up with great

I would love some new guidelines. One issue I don't see mentioned is a consistent way to tag the issues. We have tags, components, other things? And they are a bit all over the place. E.g. I don't know of an easy way to find all Admin UI issues. And I am not sure what to tag it even for the

Hi, As a project I feel it is unnecessary to have 2933 unresolved issues in JIRA. These issues have an *average* age of 1019 days (2 years 9 months)! Several reasons why I think this is bad * Looks bad on public stats * We lose oversight, important issues drown * Reporters do not get closure *
