Andre and me learned yesterday from Sumana that bug
days were held
previously on a weekly basis. This might complicate things, although
maybe actually not. A possibility:
1. Pick a day e.g. "Thursday is Bug Day!"
2. Find a small task / area in Bugzilla e.g. "Let's clean MediaWiki
Extensions >> Drafts"
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/buglist.cgi?list_id=172051&resolution=--…
3. Take a chat room less noisy than #mediawiki, or create one just for
the occasion.
#wikimedia-dev is usually best, in my experience.
4. Define a list of nicknames you, Andre, etc (and
their availability
that day. Define also 4 hours of higher intensity where all of you will
be there and focusing on the Bug Day activity.
5. Announce the day before to wikitech-l, mediawiki-l and optionally to
any other relevant list.
A few days before, please!
6. Keep all this up to date at
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Bug_management/Meeting_preparations or
the alternative page of your choice.
It feels like more work, but then again choosing smaller topics is
easier and if a week goes meh then it's not a big deal.
does
hold nearly all these best practices -- and if anything's missing, yes,
please add it. Looking forward to more bug triage events (and, very
importantly, FOLLOWUP on those triages, especially where individuals
said "sure, I'll fix that").
