Help needed: old issues issue tracker entries
Hi, The issue tracker has 658 open issues. This number is more or less constant. We are fixing and integrating *a lot*, alone the last 7 days we managed to close 89 issue tracker entries. But the older entries see not much work. Of course one reason is that everything fixable gets fixed and only hard cases remain⦠but cases can be âdifficultâ for many reasons. I would be nice if everyone could help and have a look at older issues: -> Still relevant? -> Maybe already fixed? -> Is the description good? -> What is the next action that needs to be done? And keep in mind that the issue tracker is not a TODO list. If you see something odd and put and issue âoh, this looks oddâ but there is no action for a year, does it really make sense to keep that issue open? Every open issue takes energy away from the others. So please check if issues make sense of this kind: -> âIt would be nice ifâ but not even important enough for the submitter to do -> TODO issues that are huge projects in themselves -> â¦. It would be nice if *you* would check the issue that you have been involved with the last months and see what is needed to solve them. Marcus

down to 642! (of course we closed more than that, we are at more than 6 per day closed, but the thing is that new ones get open, too) With >600 issues open, if someone adds a comment in the sense of âthis can be closedâ, can you send me (or the List) a mail? Or put the issue on âfixedâ ? The problem is that with >600 issues, even an issue that is clearly commented as fixed has a very low chance of someone reading the note and closing the entry within any reasonable time frame if we rely on someone stumbling on it by chance...

The over 600 number looks scary sometimes.. but just by doing one after the other, we it is actually doable. The proof is that we closed 1587 already for Pharo5⦠and for Pharo all versions we are at 14295 issues âdoneâ. 638 looks small compared to that. Marcus
