Hello,

There are right now�675 open issues. �(we managed�to close�63 just the last 7 days�).

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 outdated (e.g. small improvements�submitted ages ago, but even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��> this is the same as��I don�t care�.

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 �owner� of the issue so that

he/she can decide to re-open� and �will work on that later� 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?
