The Great Inkscape Bug Migration is ready to start!

Please join us in moving Inkscape's bug reports from Launchpad to Gitlab. We're making a game out of it! Details on how to migrate bugs are available at this page:

http://alpha.inkscape.org/bug-migration/

Thanks go to Terry Brown and Chris Rogers for setting this up. The tools allow tracking the bug migration effort, and gamify it using a leaderboard and randomly discoverable "Special Bugs". Those who gain enough points to reach different levels will be mailed Medal Stickers after the event, and the top three highest scorers will be acknowledged with special prizes.

The outcome of this work will be good, well-described bug reports in our new bug tracker on Gitlab, thus making developers' lives easier as they work to resolve them. Our hope is that enough of the still-valid bugs get moved from Launchpad that we can shut down the old bug tracker entirely. Your work will help advance us towards this objective.

Why not give a shot at migrating a bug or two yourself? Can you make it to Bronze Level? :-)

Hi all,

I've got a little scripting project for someone interested in exercising their python skills for Inkscape over the next couple weeks. It involves collecting data about bug reports via the Launchpad API, and a similar tool using the Gitlab API.

One tool will use Launchpad's API to get data about bugs (age, # comments, length of description, etc.) and calculate a score. We essentially want to measure the "triaging difficulty" of each bug.

The other tool will use Gitlab's API to detect bugs that have been moved from Launchpad, what the LP bug # was, and the person that did the triaging work. It also does some simple quality checks on the ported bug - presence of tags, length of bug description, is the bug description in valid markdown format, etc.

If this sounds interesting, let me or Chris Rogers know and we can fill you in a few more details and help you get going.
