Hi devs,
It seems we've never really used the "future' version in jira. I'd like like to propose to remove it.
The idea was that issues that had been reviewed and marked for later were supposed to use "future" but in practice we are not doing it.
WDYT?
The goal is to see which issues have been triaged, so that: - issues don't go unnoticed - users know that we've acknowledged their report Differentiating between issues that we're OK to address and those that we don't agree with should be done by closing issues as wontfix. Marking issues for which there is some progress should be done by marking them as inprogress. I agree that using the fix for field isn't semantically correct, so +1 for removing it. But we still need to track triaged issues. 1. How about adding a new value to the issue state? "New" means a new issue that hasn't been reviewed, "Open" means that it's an issue that has been reviewed and considered valid. This is similar to what others are doing, especially with Bugzilla. 2. How about adding a new field that better tracks progress, like what we recently introduced for tracking pull request status. The possible states could be: - new, waiting for review - waiting for user feedback - accepted - work started - stalled - done Personally I prefer 1, since 2 is getting too bureaucratic for my taste. -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/
