[webkit-qt] Bug Triaging Days

[Simon Hausmann]

Hi,

I would love to see bugs.webkit.org become a really useful tool for bug 
tracking, beyond the patch staging area it primarily is right now. Imagine 
that with a properly cleaned up list of bugs we'll also get higher quality 
reports and less duplicates. It's easier for reporters to see that the same 
issue has been reported already. We'll be quicker in processing feedback and 
pinning down important issues.

Thanks to Tor Arne and Jocelyn we have now everything in place for climbing 
our mountain of unprioritized and untriaged bugs in Bugzilla [1].

If you look at the filters linked from the wiki page at

	https://trac.webkit.org/wiki/QtWebKitBugs

then you can see that we have about 300 untriaged and about 100 trigated bugs.

With these numbers it's hard to see what's important and what isn't. I expect 
that many of these bugs are fixed already. But I also think that there'll be a 
number of really important issues in there that we currently simply don't see.

We have to make an effort to get this under control. In the team here in Oslo 
we decided to dedicate two days next week for this. We're going to stop doing 
what we would do otherwise and try to all pull into the same direction.

I'd like to extend this into a bigger effort: Please join us on our first 
QtWebKit bug triaging days next week!

	Tuesday 16th and Wednesday 17th of March

I think it would be fantastic if we could get as many people on board as 
possible.


Simon
