[xwiki-devs] [GSOC] Org registration deadline and admin needed

by Ecaterina Moraru (Valica)

Hi, Reminder: According to the timeline https://developers.google.com/ open-source/gsoc/timeline February 9 16:00 UTC is the Mentoring organization application deadline. Because of the differences in stipends for students around the world that were introduced thi year, see https://developers.google. com/open-source/gsoc/help/student-stipends I will not be this year a mentor or an org administrator. I find the segregation offensive and contrary to the principles I was promoting as part of the GSOC program. I ask someone else to continue with the registration process, in case we want to attend. You can find all the documents needed at http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleSummerOfCode/ OrganizationAdministratorGuide We also need proposals so mentors should revive proposals from previous years or propose new ideas for this year. Thanks, Ecaterina Moraru Eduard Moraru

[xwiki-devs] What is a bug?

by Vincent Massol

Hi devs, The story: * Some reporter (Anca in this case) reported the issue https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-13947 as a bug * Caty modified it as an improvement * I didn’t quite agree and also consider it to be a bug So I think it would be healthy that we agree about the difference of bug vs improvement. This is not meant as a flamewar but more as a discussion to see if we could reach an agreement. If not, then so be it, we won’t have a common agreement. Here’s my POV and what I consider a bug is: "A bug is something that was NOT wanted by the developer. It's not related to its severity and there can be minor bugs and important bugs” I realize that another definition could be “A bug is any behaviour that a user consider not normal” but I find this more hazy and subject to interpretation so I prefer my first definition. For Caty a bug is “[…]broken/not working behaviour.” but that definition is not precise enough IMO since for me the issue in XWIKI-13947 is a broken behavior (I consider that the right behavior is to have the same top and bottom margin for boxes) and thus would match Caty’s rule. I also consider that there can be all types of bugs: visual bugs, performance bugs, feature bugs, etc and thus I don’t consider that visual issues are always improvements and never bugs. So an improvement would be about doing something differently than in the way it was voluntarily implemented. WDYT? Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] New threshold for BFD (#135)

by Alexandru Cotiuga

Hi devs, Today is BFD#135: http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/XWikiDays#HBugfixingdays As the goals described in http://markmail.org/message/v3jb64dw3e6e4mut (0 difference between resolved and created bugs for 1600 and 365 periods) have been achieved and there are still bugs to be fixed, I propose a new goal of achieving the same result for a 500 days period. Starting BFD#15 we can monitor our current status for the 500 days period, which is 28 bugs behind: http://jira.xwiki.org/secure/Dashboard.jspa?selectPageId=10352#Created-vs-R… And the dashboard to follow the progress during today's BFD is: http://jira.xwiki.org/secure/Dashboard.jspa?selectPageId=13801 Enjoy you BugFixing Day, Alex
