[wtp-dev] Bugzilla and Milestone Plans

[Arthur Ryman <ryman@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I've been working on generating milestone
plans from Bugzilla and have something ready for your review. I created
a new page that links all the plans for the WTP 1.0 release [1]. That page
links to the bug list reports which are now being generated for each component
and milestone [2]. These reports are mainly extracted from Bugzilla, but
each bug also links back to the corresponding milestone plan item if one
exists.

I've also added a document that describes
the mapping between Bugzilla and the milestone plans. We need to make a
few tweaks to the milestone plans to make the mapping more straightforward.
Please comment on the mapping.

Also, at present these reports get generated
by the build script for the plans, however they should really be dynamically
generated to reflect the state of Bugzilla. I'm looking at either PHP or
an XSLT servlet to handle that. This should make the builds much simpler
and faster.
