Hey Tav,

Unfortunately I have been unable to find the time to tally the bug hunt score as of yet, however steady progress has been made (with some slowing as of late). I agree that at this point, it would probably stimulate another batch of fixes.

In terms of guidance, it should be pretty straight forward. It effectively involves searching launchpad for bugs that have been closed as fixed since the frost began, creating a list of the bug numbers, fixer, points, and descriptions, removing any closed bugs from the list that were only closed and not fixed during the frost period, and reporting back with that list.

The scoring system used during last release is quoted from Bryce's announcement email: "High priority bugs are worth 9 points, Med are 6, and Low 3. We also now have 'Critical' bugs. We'll give 12 for those."

Formatting example of the list (from the last release):

Pts BugID Assignee Description ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 3 171593 Diederik Snapping menu items and shortcuts 12 168588 Johan Engelen assertion failed, file sp-conn-end.cpp 3 171783 Bulia Byak rclk on palette should change outline color ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 18 Goal: 500

Once the initial list is done, maintaining it should be relatively easy by comparison, especially with the list in the wiki.

If you go ahead with the bug hunt tally, it will be easier to determine where we're at in the "schedule" for that piece of the wiki page as well.

I should be available via email, irc, or jabber during the day over the weekend (I'm -7:00 GMT). If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Cheers, Josh

Hi,

I haven't seen any bug hunt scores. Are they posted somewhere other than the developer's mailing list? I think having the scores on the developer's mailing list helps stimulate bug fixing as it makes the release more real. I can help with this if given a bit of guidance.

I also am having a hard time keeping track of all the details of the release as most are buried in old emails. I propose creating a wiki page listing things like:

Release wardens Schedule Bug hunt details Splash screen contest Release candidate builds

I can put this together too.
