I think this huge backlog is > one of the biggest psychological de-motivators we have! I think you are right about clearing the deck as part of a re-launch for a triaging inititive. I also think that now that we have bodhi and the bugs interfaces to compliment what we have in bugzilla we have more to work with in terms of workflow flexibility for different groups of people (users,developers,triagers). Is there a way to possibly group bugs by SIG? So we can have specific triagers associated with SIGs. triagers as a group are a team, but then they also act as a liaison to each SIG which controls the packaging and development of related of packages. That way SIGs might advertise their triager role to new contributors as a starting point, but make a commitment to mentoring those people so that in 6 months those people move on to handling more advanced roles in the SIG such as package maintainer, and new triagers are found for the entry level position. -jef _______________________________________________ fedora-advisory-board mailing list fedora-advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-advisory-board
