Hey everyone,
If you're a developer and have a chance sometime soon, please visit the bug tracker to view what bugs are assigned to you. If you feel a bug assigned to you is wrongly assigned or that it is unlikely that you will work on that bug, please unassign yourself. We don't want to discourage anyone from taking on a bug because someone else's name is on it.
As long as my LP-fu isn't bad (forget the stats on the bug page, I did it not including bugs marked "fix committed") the bug tracker currently has 1,791 open bugs (wishlist not included), 748 are marked as new, 167 marked High, and it appears that bugs w/ patches is at 84. Those numbers aren't horrible, but I'm sure there are a number of bugs that can probably be closed at this point.
If you don't code, but want to help the project, you can give us a hand by trying to help us reduce the number of "New" bugs mentioned above. Trying to reproduce bugs is always helpful if they're not confirmed or if it looks like it was last confirmed a couple years back (or on old versions). I'm not sure if the tracker is as open as it was, but hopefully you can modify the status and such without needing to be a team member. If so, please review http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Bug_management to find out how we do things.
Any Qs, as always, please don't hesitate to contact me.
Cheers, Josh
One possible option with LP is to enable bug expiry - this will automatically close any report whose status is "incomplete" if no new comments are added after an expiry period (default = 60 days, I think).
Advantages: unreproducible or incomprehensible reports are automatically closed, giving us a cleaner & more manageable tracker.
Disadvantages: we'll inevitably lose some valid reports too...
Any thoughts?
