Starting with this coming Monday's bug triage, I want to try and make sure the community's voice is heard. In order to do that, I've created the “triage” keyword in Bugzilla. Every week, I'll announce a theme and use this keyword to keep track of the bugs that will be handled in the meeting.
As we discuss the bug, it will be modified, probably assigned to a developer, and the “triage” keyword removed. Some people may see this as bug-spam, but I'd like to keep the email notifications on so that people who have expressed an interest will know that we're giving the bugs some love.
This week, I'm going to focus on Parser-related bugs. There are currently 10 bugs on the with the “triage” keyword applied. A bug triage meeting needs about 30 bugs, so I have room for about 20 more right now. I'll be adding to the list before Monday, but this is your chance to get WMF's developers talking about YOUR favorite parser bug by adding the “triage” keyword.
I will reserve the right to remove the “triage” keyword — especially if the list becomes unwieldy, or if the bug has nothing to do with parsing — but I wanted to start to open up the triage process a bit more and begin to provide a way for the community to participate in these meetings.
Mark.
