So you suggest to close all bugs that are older than 2 years systematically or do you
suggest to only close not valid bugs? If the later how do you know it's still valid?
I personally don't like too much closing valid bugs.
I agree about closing bugs that cannot be reproduced (which is what we do) but I'm not
sure I like too much closing valid bugs even if they're old.
However I think it's a good strategy that during the BFD we start our closing bug hunt
by looking at oldest bugs first (this is what I've done several times personally). The
only issue is that we run the risk of looking at the same bugs and thus stepping on the
toes of the others ;)
Thanks

Well, another option is that we decide to systematically close bugs (not
new features/improvements/etc) that are older than say... 2-3 years. I have
noticed in this latest BFD that there are a lot of bugs that are no longer
reproducible and most of them are for the old versions that don`t even
behave the same way and that most of the stuff got rewritten in the process.
If we like, we could try to improve that and (maybe reduce the window to
1-2 years but) only close issues that have no comments/reactions to them.
Alternatively, there's the thing that Fedora does (and probably others)
where they systematically close bugs that are older than 2 versions
(basically older than the stable version that they support).
I guess there could be other ways that work for getting rid of old and
invalid bugs that are polluting jira.
Of course, this does not address active and valid bugs (since they need to
actually be fixed), but I think it would be a step towards the right
direction. On 12/07/2012 07:56 AM, Vincent Massol wrote:

be good to be doing this once every 2 weeks so that we're in the
green as a rule instead of the opposite being the norm…. WDYT?
I'd be a full +1 for this, except that I find that when something
happens too often, people tend to lose interest and the participation
will decrease. In the end, the marginal number of bugs will stay the
same, it's just the frequency that will change.
Yes I know. We need to find the good frequency so that devs don't loose
interest and participation is high enough. But ATM some devs could not
participate because they had something planned for the BFD day #8 and if we
have more maybe overall we'll have more participation?
I've racked my brain and I don't have a better idea for being in the green
than BFDs at the moment…
Thanks,
Eduard
Ideas welcome… Do others think that 2 a month is too much? IMO we could
try and see how it goes for a few times and then decide.
Thanks
