<div dir="ltr"><div>Guys,</div><div><br></div><div>We have a beautiful contribution guide: <a href="https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Fuel/How_to_contribute">https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Fuel/How_to_contribute</a></div><div>
<br></div><div>However, I would like to address several issues in our blueprints/bugs processes. Let's discuss and vote on my proposals.</div><div><br></div><div>1) First of all, the bug counter is an excellent metric for quality. So let's use it only for bugs and track all feature requirement as blueprints. Here is what it means:</div>
<blockquote style="margin:0 0 0 40px;border:none;padding:0px"><div>1a) If a bug report does not describe a user’s pain, a blueprint should be created and bug should be closed as invalid</div><div>1b) If a bug report does relate to a user’s pain, a blueprint should be created and linked to the bug</div>
<div>1c) We have an excellent <a href="http://fuel-launchpad.mirantis.com/project/fuel">reporting tool</a>, but it needs more metrics: count of critical/high bugs, count of bugs assigned to each team. It will require support of team members lists, but it seems that we really need it.</div>
</blockquote><div><br></div><div>2) We have a huge amount of blueprints and it is hard to work with this list. A good blueprint needs a fixed scope, spec review and acceptance criteria. It is obvious for me that we can not work on blueprints that do not meet these requirements. Therefore:</div>
<blockquote style="margin:0 0 0 40px;border:none;padding:0px"><div>2a) Let's copy the <a href="https://launchpad.net/nova/future">nova future series</a> and create a fake milestone 'next' as nova <a href="https://launchpad.net/nova/+milestone/next">does</a>. All unclear blueprints should be moved there. We will pick blueprints from there, add spec and other info and target them to a milestone when we are really ready to work on a particular blueprint. Our <a href="https://launchpad.net/fuel/+milestone/5.1">release page</a> will look much more close to reality and much more readable in this case.</div>
<div>2b) Each blueprint in a milestone should contain information about feature lead, design reviewers, developers, qa, acceptance criteria. Spec is optional for trivial blueprints. If a spec is created, the designated reviewer(s) should put (+1) right into the blueprint description.</div>
<div>2c) Every blueprint spec should be updated before feature freeze with the latest actual information. Actually, I'm not sure if we care about spec after feature development, but it seems to be logical to have correct information in specs.</div>
<div>2d) We should avoid creating interconnected blueprints wherever possible. Of course we can have several blueprints for one big feature if it can be split into several shippable blocks for several releases or for several teams. In most cases, small parts should be tracked as work items of a single blueprint.</div>
</blockquote><div><br></div><div>3) Every review request without a bug or blueprint link should be checked carefully.</div><blockquote style="margin:0 0 0 40px;border:none;padding:0px"><div>3a) It should contain a complete description of what is being done and why</div>
<div>3b) It should not require backports to stable branches (backports are bugfixes only)</div><div>3c) It should not require changes to documentation or be mentioned in release notes</div></blockquote><div><br></div></div>
