Hi folks, We currently have about 150 open issues. Sometimes it feels like stuff is added an never looked at again. We need to do some cleanup/categorization, i.e. triage.
In the past, a triage process which has worked for me is: - Allocate an hour a week for triage. Any longer than this, it just gets boring, and hard to carve out time to do it. - Go through as many issues as possible in this hour. - For each issue, categorize it as bug/improvement/idea etc - Specify the priority. - If high(ish) priority, specify a target release - Identify the low hanging fruit - Once a bug has been triaged, add a label "triage/<weeknumber>". This will allow already triaged issues to be excluded from the current triage. Eventually all issues will have a triage label. At this point, the triage should be limited to those issues with the oldest triage labels (which can be identified by the week). The eventual goal is to have every issue looked at at least once a month or so, even if no action is taken on it. - Blocker issues should be looked at every triage session. If there's no objections, I'm volunteering to do this myself, starting next week. If you start getting notifications for issues from months/years ago, it's this. Cheers, Ivan
