Hi all, With the feature freeze looming in less than 24 hours, it's time to shift or focus to quality improvements. We have a whole bunch of new awesomeness, and perhaps even more new ideas. For now, we'll have to take a step back and admit that we can't do everything at once, and concentrate on what we have created and put in place so far. We want to create this stable baseline which we can make work really well, and then, only then think about architectural and feature improvements again. For now, it's time to stabilize, fix regressions, fix bugs in order to make the stars align for a good first release of Plasma Next.
That means that we also need to shift our work to a slightly different process. I'd like to include in our Monday meetings a shortlist of "most important bugs to tackle", so that we don't get lost in the sheer number of them, not all bugs are equal, and some are definitely more annoying than others. In order to get a quick overview of bugs that affect us, you can use the following predefined search: https://bugs.kde.org/buglist.cgi?cmdtype=runnamed&namedcmd=plasma-shell&list_id=942085 In order to file new bugs, please place them under the plasma-shell product for now, so we can more easily keep track of them. We will need some more refined bugzilla strategy here, but for now, this at least helps to not lose overview on the critical issues. (Just to make sure: the bugs are assigned to my by default, that doesn't mean they'r taken: If you plan to work on a certain bug, check back quickly on IRC, leave a note in the bugreport, or make it clear otherwise, so we prevent duplicate work.) We'll also open up for feedback from the community shortly, with the Alpha release that will be tagged on Thursday (and likely be released the Tuesday thereafter, stability permitting). For now, though, arm yourself with coffee/tea/hot beverage of your choice/cold beverage of your choice/cookies/more than one of the above, some patience, and a relentless sense of quality and let's Kill all the bugs! :-) Cheers, -- sebas http://www.kde.org | http://vizZzion.org | GPG Key ID: 9119 0EF9 _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
