Notes from the Bugzilla Tracking meeting

Attendees : all App team - Date : Thrusday April 28th, 2005

Dependencies and Risks

• AE (Attribute Editor) : Notifications : Depends on Ted
• DV : Font Spec : we need to write a technical spec
• wxWidgets : Shadow and Grid are both big and somewhat risky

Assignment

• Recurrence : Alec : need someone as a back up (paternity). Biggest riskiest effort of 0.6
• Sharing : John : need to sync up with Morgen on what we (App) need to deliver (update: Philippe checked this morning with Morgen and, so far, no App task linked to sharing identifiable). Risk of spill on DV.
• CPIA : John
• Perf : Donn : sync up with Katie, check the keyword == perf bugs already logged and not fixed, log some as needs be (e.g. Start up time on Mac)
• Journaling : Donn : spec to write, share spec with Aparna and Heikki (QA)

Tasks to perform in Bugzilla

To do now (Philippe and Heiki) : update Bugzilla as appropriate in particular:

• Components : Update the components list and add: Application: Behavior, Application: Sidebar, Application: Trash and Deletion, Application: Drag and Drop, Calendar: Recurrence, Calendar: Minical, Journaling
• Set milestones and releases for 0.6
• Move bugs we won't address for sure to 0.7 and future
• Use the full priority range (make sure then that what's punted is marked for release 0.7)
• Get QA buy off to set severity more consistently
• Make task a keyword, not a flag

To do now (All) : as soon as the here above is done :

• Create tasks records in Bugzilla: each dev is reponsible to create its list of tasks (we went through this exercise once so it's mostly entering those in)
• Philippe : create reports and graphs accessible from the App Team page

To do later (Heikki or someone in Heikki's team) : the stuff here under requires Bugzilla hacking and coding

• Set hardware off or just don't display it (confusing and irrelevant to us)
• Add a field so that devs can number the bugs according to their schedule (create an ordered list of bugs)
• SWAG : add a combo box in the bug editing form that will populate the Est. Orig. automatically
