Alpha5 - Chandler Bug Triage

Working page for Sheila and Mimi to do a huge bug categorization of all the Alpha5 bugs for Preview. We put all the bugs into one of the 4 following buckets.

P1 Bugs that prevent playing around with the app, trying out the features

General Stuff

• P2: Bug#5308 - Sharing conflict notification UI
• P3: Bug#6545 - Change OOTB configuration

Performance ( Performance is really high priority for Preview but we understand that not all of these will get fixed. It was easier to isolate all the perf bugs together)

Trash and Deletion

• P3: Bug#8520 - When removing items from Dashboard, wrong dialog pops up

P4 - Stuff that makes it more likely for people to stick with Chandler (conveniences and nice to haves)

As with the other bugs, we recommend that any non-P4s in this list be upgraded or downgraded accordingly. The P4 items are broken into 2 groups.

• P4s that we could go ahead and punt at some point
• P4s that we would like to keep around simply to try and understand which ones come up more frequently in testing and dogfooding.

For the later group, we can then track some of these P4s that may be worth fixing for Preview because users run into them more often. In this case, we would upgrade them to P3 and have them fixed.

P4 candidates we could think about punting at some point

• Confusing, but not a big deal
• P3: Bug#5404 - grey out "choose file to import" OK button when no file selected
• P3: Bug#8616 - Conflicts on master event should display alert icon next to all occurrences in Dashboard
• P3: Bug#4535 - Reminders with deltas greater than recurrence difference might not fire
• P4: Bug#7786 - Settle on "delete" instead of "move to trash" in dialogs and menus
• P4: Bug#7414 - Unable to select certain events from preview pane

P4 candidates we want to keep in the list for now (to see how many should be upgraded and fixed)
