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
-Vincent

Sounds good. What happens with the monthly BFD that was supposed to
happen on the 7th?
To reduce the burnout, we should see each BFD not as a hard push to
close as many bugs as possible, but as a day when devs are free to work
on bugs, not on roadmap features.
Thanks

Sounds good. What happens with the monthly BFD that was supposed to
happen on the 7th?
Good question. Since we still haven't released XWiki 4.5 final, I think we should
drop it and replace it with the weekly BFD starting 21st
WDYT?

I completely agree.
Here's how I view it:
* Goal: reduce the open bug count from
http://jira.xwiki.org/secure/Dashboard.jspa#Created-vs-Resolved-Chart/10470 as much as
possible.
* Consequence: the goal is to take the lowest hanging fruits.
* This is an occasion to close easy bugs that we wouldn't look at otherwise
* It also serves as cleaning up our JIRA
* Devs are free to chose by themselves the bugs they work on
* It is *not* a day to implement important bugs listed in the roadmap, although devs can
take some from there if they wish
* It's only about bugs, not other type of issues
