+1 for improving the issues. I call that the "checkbox attitude": Opening an issue is mandatory for a change to be merged? No problem, i open an issue (just a title), check the box, et voilà...
That's applying the letter of the law rather than the spirit of the law. Either the law is bad (too cumbersome for trivial changes?), or we are at degree zero of quality... I also call that quality-dry: It has the color of quality, the smell of quality, but it's not quality ;) Le lun. 28 oct. 2019 à 23:12, Myroslava Romaniuk via Pharo-dev < [email protected]> a écrit : > Hi everyone > > Maybe it makes sense to generate some github issue templates and encourage > people to fill in the related information from a prompt?
