bug squashing

Reply Threaded

Hi all.
What about a bug squashing party? I think if we sit down and examine
together the bugs, we'll find quite a few invalid ones, and together it
will be easier to decide which ones to close down.
Also users could be involved in the process (provided they have
0.9.2rc1), so to have more people and more platforms available for
real-time testing.
All the best.

How is this supposed to be conducted? I'd like to help cleaning out bugs
reported against 0.8.0 and earlier.

I guess what we should do is nominate a day / morning / few hours and
meet on irc and start walking through the queue and assigning the bugs
/ closing the bugs / tagging bugs as needing more info / trying to
replicate bugs. I guess Paolo's idea is that with collective minds and
effort we can resolve any questions there and then on the IRC channel
and move as many irrellevant bugs out of the way as quickly as poss.

Regards

Tim

Sounds good!
Any ideas for date, time and duration?

what about http://www.doodle.ch ?
I guess 4h should be good, if successful we can repeat it.

Yes, that's what I meant. I think we should have as many users as
possible (especially the original bug reporters), with a diverse array
of platforms (osx, win, ...) so we can first try to replicate bugs, and
if this proves impossible, close them down. I tried replicating a few of
them , and couldn't, so I suspect they are invalid, but cannot close
them without further evidence.

Hi all,
I write to encorage about the bug squashing!
How can we organize it?

I think thet more of one day is necessary to make it, may be is better
to organize them on the base of the operative system and the
disponibility of the developers.

I think it is a good occasion to close many bothersome bugs.

Any ideas about it?

Regards
Leonardo
