Hello,
There are right now 675 open issues. (we managed to close 63 just the last 7 daysâ¦).
Open issues are down to 658. Especially old issues need help! It *so* much less work for someone who was involved (maybe the original submitter?) in an issue in the past than someone who looks at it from scratch! A *lot* of old issues can be closed just by trying to re-create the bug and then seeing that it has been fixed ages ago,
-> 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?
Especially looking at your own issues, this is *very* needed. If an issue is open for 2 years, maybe the description is not well written? So ask yourself; Has the issue really enough information for *someone else* to act? (an issue tracker is not your personal TODO list!) Marcus
