There was a question on wikitech-l about bugs resolved LATER and what to do with them. As part of my review time today I went through a bunch of them to see if that was further action; a number of other folks participated via IRC.
Between things that could be reopened cleanly (sometimes with new dependencies) or closed out as already-fixed, WONTFIX, or INVALID, we took it down at least from 324 LATERs to about 250. Nice!
Also poked some miscellaneous bugs and a couple code review bits.
Gave some internal feedback on a test fundraising banner.
Hopefully helped some guy in Spanish on IRC with his group permission question, but might have just confused him further. We’ll see. :)
Spare time spent tonight on further work on BugTender:
- basic cleanup to search screen
- ability to select a set of resolutions (‘open’, ‘fixed’, or ‘other’ pseudo-states covering several resos each)
- can sort bug list by id, creation date, last mod date, prio, resolution. prio & reso are alpha order. Dates may not work in some browsers.
- URL and bug links in comment text — bug links open the bug in the app, URLs open in separate window/tab
Hi, Brion: the correct thing to do here is to remove LATER from your bugzilla altogether. See, e.g., https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35839 (note the five digit bug number) for extensive discussion of the point.
Hah, I had forgotten, that isn’t even the oldest bug on that point. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13534 for the better, more generally applicable bug.
