I’d like to further explain my intension on funding committers for Platform and JDT.
It seems that my choice of words about the payment model makes a difference to many AC members. At least for Gunnar and Lars according to their comments.
My aim is that the AC supports a (potential future) decision to use FEEP funding for paying developers that „just" triage and fix errors in JDT and Platform. According to the error reports, Platform has 1,500+ problematic locations in source code and JDT 2,200 code locations to inspect. The sheer quantity of these problems makes it impossible to come up with a set of bugs beforehand b/c triaging them in average likely takes more than half of the time to fix a bug. And the platform teams are currently don’t have that time. Hence, I argue towards a „simplified triage-&-fix model“ where the payed developer can just go and fix whatever he finds.
This certainly needs a person the EF foundation believes can handle that degree of freedom. But this should not be our primary concern at the moment.
Eike,
Konstantin,
Remi,
can you please elaborate on your reasons for giving a -2? If it’s just a matter of payment model, I’m sure we can leave this part of the discussion to the EF or postpone it to a later point in time. If you disagree to the general „simplified triage-&-fix model“, I would be interested to hear your concerns. If you agree to the general aim, I’d be happy if you update your vote.
No matter how you decide, your comments are very welcome on bug 482037 [1].
Thank you,
Marcel
