Re: [wtp-dev] Untriaged defects....


Ditto to John's comments. Thanks to him, a large number of 0.7 defects have finally made it to the server tools queue. (and although I didn't really need extra defects, that is a "thanks" in the positive sense) Many were fixed in 0.7, 1.0, 1.0.1, or 1.0.2 anyway, but several fixes were delayed until more people reported the problem or are still valid today. Defects not getting to the right component for a year and shipping releases without triaging all our defects is a serious problem. If we can't keep up with the project inboxes then we should either assign new resource or simply get rid of them.

Re: [wtp-dev] Untriaged defects....






Arthur,


This is not the first time this has happened or the first time we have suggested removal of these ambiguous queues.  Make no mistake, it is a HUGE deal when ~80 bugs go unnoticed until when we are in release candidate mode.  We were specifically told not to monitor this Web Standard Tools queue because we were assured the defects would be triaged accordingly.  So, here we are...again.  


Proposal:  We use wst.web instead, and drop Web Standard Tools so this can be proactively avoided.


Reality:  This will never be an issue again because now I know it is incumbent upon me to include this queue in my queries and I and other diligent committers will keep it up to date.

Chuck,


The subproject leads own those components. I own the WST one. I thought I was keeping up, but was shocked to see so many untriaged. I don't know how they slipped by.


Many users don't know which component to assign a defect to so they just use the subproject. Also, there are some cases where a bug affects an entire subproject, or even the entire project.


I suggest we keep these, but watch eachother's backs. We should routinely do a query on the inboxes and route them to the right components.

No that should be removed too....    I would rather have the originator guess wrong, and see it moved to the right component, then have it sit there unseen.

Re: [wtp-dev] Untriaged defects....












If we choose to remove this component is there any value to keeping the "J2EE Standard Tools" component?

[wtp-dev] Untriaged defects....














It was brought to our attention this week that we have many untriaged defects sitting in various "inbox's"

A Majority of these were in the "Web Standard Tools" component where there is no clear owner, and it was brought up in the past this component should be removed from bugzilla.


Unless we have active triaging on this component, I vote to remove this component ASAP, to avoid this situation in the future.  Many of these defects should have been openned in components that I own, and

we had no idea they existed.


I want to thank John Lanuti for triaging many many defects in this component today, but we strongly vote to terminate this abandoned component.


Thanks - Chuck
