I read the transcript, but I still don't think I understand. Let me throw a few "for instance"s at you to see if I have this right.
1. Someone running SnowGlobe reports a bug as a SNOW issue. It is later determined that it is also a problem in the standard viewer. So a VWR issue is cloned and the SNOW issue is marked as a duplicate? 2. Someone makes a fix to a SnowGlobe-only bug. It's posted as a patch on a SNOW issue. Correct? 3. Someone makes a fix to a bug that affects both and has been reported as a VWR issue. The patch gets attached to the VWR issue. Then it is decided to put it in SnowGlobe but not the standard viewer (yet). A SNOW issue is cloned from the VWR issue? Or if a SNOW issue already exists (case 1 above) then reopen the SNOW issue? 4. Someone makes a fix to a bug that affects both and has been reported as a VWR issue and it is decided to put it in both. Is a SNOW issue still cloned or do we just wait for the branches to sync up to catch the fix for SnowGlobe? 5. Someone creates a feature that he wishes would ultimately go into the main viewer. That's a VWR feature. Then it's decided to pick it up in SnowGlobe. The feature is cloned to SNOW? So, in summary, a SNOW issue should only be created if the bug only affects SnowGlobe or cloned when cherry-picking VWR bug fixes and features? And Linden does the cherry-picking, hence the cloning? Which means, as far as the developer-in-the-street is concerned, only create a SNOW issue if the bug only affects SnowGlobe? But if he makes a mistake and it really does affect the standard viewer, then who does the cloning? Yes? No? Maybe so?
