2 consequences:
* work on 5.0 can now start. on master,
* anyone who needs to commit some important bug fixes for 4.5 need to do so on stable-4.5.x

Hi devs,
We've closing the 4.x cycle and here's the result of bugs fixed vs bugs created during the past 360 days:
http://snag.gy/MZxh7.jpg
As you can see:
* More issues were created than fixed: 919 created vs 844 fixed
* During the whole time, the red has been winning
What this means is that overall we're loosing the quality war. Of course bugs are not evenly distributed and it may happen that created bugs are peripheral but they're still bugs and since they've been reported they have affected users…
Thus I propose that for the 5.x cycle we take some drastic action and do a Bug Fixing Day every week in en effort to have green be the default (ie more bugs fixed than created).
At least it would be great if we could try it for a while and see how it goes.
If you agree, what about doing that every Thursday, starting with the 21st of February(since 11th is the final 4.5 release)?
WDYT?
Thanks

Hi devs,
I`ve just pushed (to master and stable-4.4.x) a fix for a workspace bug [1]
that caused problems when a workspace name/ID contained an underscore. I am
mentioning this because the fix required, in order for it to be a proper
fix, that I do a clirr violation (remove the wikiName parameter from the
createWorkspace method because it was misleading).
Since this API is not used in any XWiki module that I know of, not in any
third party code either (correct me if I`m wrong), I think that the clirr
exclusion will not create new issues.
Just wanted to mention it. If someone does not agree with this decision,
please let me know so that we can make a better one.
Thanks,
Eduard

Hello all,
FYI I've transfered the xwiki-social-login from my account to
xwiki-contrib on github.
Old references should still work as I've cloned it in my account.

Hi devs,
I've installed the UI of a wiki through DW and I've noticed that the Sandbox.WebHome page had 2 revisions instead of the 1 revision I was expecting.
The first revision has a comment that says "Import: add attachment" and the second rev has a comment of "Import: final save".
However, if I skip the DW and import the XAR, I'll get only 1 revision AFAIK.
Is this discrepancy normal? Do we want it?
Thanks

Hi devs,
Similar to commons and rendering, we now have a CI job at http://ci.xwiki.org/view/Platform/job/xwiki-platform%20Quality%20Checks that runs every night and that checks if TPC thresholds are ok. If not a failure email is sent to the list and whoever caused the failure is supposed to add more tests to go back to the TCP level defined in the pom.xml of that module.
This is the last step of http://markmail.org/thread/j5yuaxixbyvytfr3
Let's hope we can make this work and keep increasing the xwiki project's quality as a consequence! I'm sure we'll find some issues but they'll be occasions to discuss quality and testability of our code :)
Thanks
-Vincent
