Last week we had our first Bug Day of the year.
*---How it Went*---
We looked at bugs (excluding enhancements) that had not seen any changes in
over a year, a little over 250 bugs. The bugs came from a number of
different products and components. We started looking at the bugs in
"General/Unknown." Attendance was lower than what we wanted. Andre,
Matanya, and I triaged bugs and had help from developers in #wikimedia-dev.
Probably a good idea to send an email to wikitech-l and mediawiki-l
about a day before these things happen, and another one immediately
when they start.
- Hosting the event in a different IRC channel
- We held the event in #wikimedia-dev. We were able to get help from
developers on the channel, but it was hard to tell if users joining were
there for the Bug Day. We felt greeting each user that joined could have
increased noise on the channel, and could have been annoying to other
users. We may hold the next even in #wikimedia-office if there
are no other
meetings scheduled for that time.
Wouldn't that further reduce participation?
Thank you for your participation and support! We hope the coming Bug Days
will get better and better.
Thank you for hosting this. While I couldn't make this one, I hope to
help out in a future bug day!
Cheers,
