There are three settings related to voting for each product: Max number of votes a user can make for bugs in that product Max number of votes a user can make for any one bug Number of votes needed to auto confirm a bug Most products have these values set to 5/2/5. Some have it set to 0, as Herbert mentions. But Base, for some reason, has these values set to 5/2/10. So two questions from me: 1) Does auto-confirm make any sense for us? Remember, marking something as "confirmed" takes it off the radar for QA. But if something is in the unconfirmed state and many users are voting for it, shouldn't that mean that QA should give more attention to it, to try to confirm it? If we skip over QA entirely then we miss the opportunity they have to do additional testing of other versions, uploading sample documents, etc. So I'd be in favor of disabling the auto-confirmation entirely. We shouldn't skip over QA. 2) What values should we set of the max number of votes per product and per bug? In one sense it doesn't really matter, since we don't really have a view of what the top vote issues are. But if the goal is for users to express their preferences, why not set it to 10/10/0? In other words, let them express the fact that a single bug matters to them most of all if they want. -Rob > Herbert > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
