Hi Roman,
(some comment I put on the jira issue but are better posted here)
Great idea. We had started something similar but now you've given it a
name: a Paper Cut. What we've done so far was to identify easy to fix
bug and mark them as easy in jira.
For example here's the current list of issues marked as trivial in
XWiki core (we need to extend this notion to all jira projects right
now I think it's only in core):
• Trivial:
http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?mode=hide&requestId=10534
• Easy:
http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?mode=hide&requestId=10535
Here's some work to be done IMO:
• Review existing issues and verify the difficulty is correctly set
• Add these custom fields to all projects in jira
• Prepare a page on dev.xwiki.org to explain this Paper Cut thing
• Promote it on the xwiki mailing lists, twitter, etc
Thanks
-Vincent
PS: I'm not sure XWIKI-3335 is that trivial... :)
