--- Comment #285 from Petr Mladek <pmla...@suse.cz> 2012-04-18 03:41:26 PDT --- IMHO, it currently works the following way: If you add a bug here, you send a message to developers. Hey, this is something that people really hates in this release. It annoys many people and discourage them from using this application. This is something that you should solve ASAP. Developers look at the bugs and fix them if possible. Note that developers are in CC in many other bugs, read mails, have other tasks from other people, have their personal life. They maintain their own priority lists. So, this bug does not enforce anything. It is still only a helper tool. Though, it seems that it works pretty well. My view of why we need this bug: First, any software has bugs and we can't fix everything. Any fix could potentially create another bug. Also we could not make everyone happy. Some people might like a feature that annoys other people. We can't make everything configurable because it would be hard to maintain all options. Even if we make it configurable, people will fight about defaults. So, we will always have any bug reports. Next, this bug won't be needed if people set severity and priority correctly. Unfortunately, it does not work in a real life. If a person gets into a state that she reports a bug, she is often quite annoyed and wants a solution quickly. The bug is often quite important for the person, so she tends to set high severity and priority. One the other hand, some people does not know about this setting and they use the default values. All this can be corrected by people doing the bug triage who see many bugs every day and could better prioritize them. Unfortunately, we do not have enough people this time, so many bugs still have the severity and priority set by the reporter. So the query for all bugs does not show the most annoying bugs on top. Finally, this bug is a workaround for the above problem. It is mostly updated by people doing the regular bug triage. They know the bigger picture and do their best guess what belongs here. They try to do not include their pet bugs. Of course, everyone has its own opinion. Also this bug is opened for anyone. Well, I think that it has worked quite well so far and we do not need any complex rules. IMHO, the name "most annoying bugs" set the right feeling in most people ;-) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
