There are right now 675 open issues. (we managed to close 63 just the last 7 daysâ¦).
A lot of those issues are very old. A lot are in a bad shape:
-> not reproducible -> *completely* unclear what action could lead to solve the issue -> outdated (e.g. small improvements submitted ages ago, but even the author does not care to submit a new version for Pharo4)
I think we should be more radical in closing issues. If someone submits something but can not even answer a simple question in 2 months â> this is the same as âI donât careâ.
2 months are to short. 4 or maybe 6. Yes, you are right 6 months is good.
The idea is that the issue will be closed, but with a mail to the âownerâ of the issue so that he/she can decide to re-open⦠and âwill work on that laterâ would be a valid answer.
There are open issues without any action on our part - for months. And that does not mean "we don't care". If someone reports an issues and don't have the time to react on comments/questions for a couple of months, I understand that.

So *PLEASE*:
-> check all the issue that *you* submitted. Are they still relevant? Is there enough information for anyone to do anything? -> check all the issues you where involved with in discussions. It is much easier for you than for me to understand what the conclusion of the discussion is. -> help checking *old* entries. Is is still relevant? What is the next action?
