<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">As some of you may or may not have noticed, I’ve spent the last 2 weeks living in Launchpad Land triaging our, rather large, set of bugs.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I noticed a few things I’d like to bring up with you all now:</span><o:p></o:p></p>

</span></span><![endif]><span style="font-size:11.0pt">There were a lot of bugs that were fixed, but not closed.
</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3"><![if !supportLists]><span style="mso-list:Ignore">2.<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span><![endif]><span style="font-size:11.0pt">There were a lot of bugs that were triaged for dev doc bugs - not for manuals.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3"><![if !supportLists]><span style="mso-list:Ignore">3.<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span><![endif]><span style="font-size:11.0pt">There were a lot of bugs that were re-triaged, and instead of being fixed per release, were being moved from Juno -> Kilo -> Liberty -> Mitaka -> Newton -> Ocata. By the time I got to them were completely
out of date and already fixed. But this is a scripted action that we are pausing for now.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">We need to find a better way to triage these bugs, and ensure we're actually completing them on time.<a name="l-204"></a> I've been tagging more bugs with low-hanging-fruit and in the last week I've noticed
a lot more one off contributors.<a name="l-205"></a> Which is great! But this doesn’t fix our problems…
</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I proposed an idea at the docs meeting which was agreed upon and I would like to trial. (You can see our meeting minutes from yesterday here:
<a href="http://eavesdrop.openstack.org/meetings/docteam/2017/docteam.2017-01-26-21.03.log.html">

</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I'd like there to be designated bug triager for all 'new' bugs.<a name="l-220"></a> There are approximately 1-3 bugs max that come into the manuals per-day<a name="l-222"></a>. It's not a heavy job, but it's
something we have to start doing regularly to lighten the load and ensure we’re catching the right issues at the right time.<a name="l-223"></a> Joseph suggested we could rotate the responsibility, and Andreas suggested that each core takes on this responsibility
– which I completely agree with.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Using the appropriate guide tags, the specialty teams would then in charge of ensuring their bug lists are looked after. The rotation would be aligned with the release cycles (another suggestion from Joseph,
thank you!).</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Other projects take on similar ways to triage their bug list, and I think it would be a valuable move in the future for all of us to take on this responsibility. Thoughts, concerns, feelings, questions?</span><o:p></o:p></p>
