being WMF's new "bug wrangler" I would
like to improve documentation on
bug management/triaging in order to make it easier to get involved and
understand how things work.
- Having all the relevant information at
mediawiki.org alone would be
useful. The other wikis could just point there.
- Do we need all these pages with all that content with so much detail?
I don't think so. It feels like you need to attend bugcademy before
filing a bug, which is not true. A single landing page should be enough
for making any regular bugzilla user useful and productive. Then you
might need additional pages for Bugsquad team, admins etc but then they
can sit in some corners clearly not for everybody.
- About Bugzilla awareness, what about using
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Bugzilla_Reports (or any better
extension you might be aware of) to provide automatically updated
listing of bugs in the pages where technical projects are being
documented? We used this for
wiki.maemo.org and I found it useful to
advertise the work that needs to be done.
- And what about processing more data from the Bugzilla weekly report
and show the trends over time? Everybody likes to see the progress (or
lack of), the new bugs, the most important still open, etc. Like
http://www.octofish.net/bugjar/ but adapted to the needs of the WM
community.
