Hello there, The Cyrus Bugzilla is a very important component for all of us, community users and Cyrus developers alike! I suppose most of us have, at least once or twice, logged a new report in Bugzilla, but then what happens with that report? >From the other side, the Cyrus team sometimes doesn't sort through the series of legacy tickets to see what (in terms of tickets) it is they are supposed to be working on or which tickets they need to close. As a result, reports quickly back up in the queue and are soon to be rarely paid sufficient attention to. Similarly, I can imagine, it must sometimes be... confusing to see a large number of tickets still be open, or a large list of versions you never know existed, and the version or milestone of a ticket be set to something that doesn't really make sense. Ergo; something needs to be cleaned up. While some things I can just go ahead and do (after short deliberation within the Cyrus team, of course), *WE NEED YOUR HELP!* Let me emphasize that point; Without your help, all I can do is close the tickets and wait for people (probably some of you) to reopen them... Here's some of the things I can do and have done to make it easier on all of us; - I've cleaned up the list of versions by accumulating versions the Cyrus team is unlikely to pay much attention to, into series of versions. Ergo, 2.1.1 through 2.1.13 have all become one single '2.1.x' entry. Note that this includes the 2.2 series, while 2.3 has been released ~5 years ago. Same goes for milestones. - I've installed the BugzillaReports extension for Mediawiki, so we can easily create lists of bugs and share those lists. See, for example, the following Mediawiki page; http://www.cyrusimap.org/mediawiki/index.php/Bugs_Resolved_in_2.4.1 You can help us make Bugzilla just a little bit more accessible! Here's how (the contents of lists are updated instantly); - A list of Open Bugs per legacy version has been created: http://www.cyrusimap.org/mediawiki/index.php/Bugzilla_Cleanup - A description of what you can do with such reports is described here; http://www.cyrusimap.org/mediawiki/index.php/Bugzilla_Cleanup_Guidelines We're talking a list of 174 bugs at the time of this writing. What we would like to see, is have this list be smaller. If you have any questions (like, any, whatsoever, somewhat related to Cyrus), please feel free to drop me a line, or contact my directly in the #cyrus IRC channel on irc.freenode.net. Thank you, in advance or in retrospect or both, for your contribution(s), Kind regards, -- Jeroen van Meeuwen Senior Engineer, Kolab Systems AG e: vanmeeuwen@xxxxxxxxxxxx t: +316 42 801 403 w: http://www.kolabsys.com pgp: 9342 BF08 ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://www.cyrusimap.org/ List Archives/Info: http://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/pipermail/info-cyrus/
