Hi Jay,

My point is mostly the distinction between bugs and feature ideas:

- bugs may not be relevant anymore, submitters may have moved on,
   noone is looking at storyboard to solve them ... so, yes, fresh start!

- suggestions may be worth keeping: if submitters have moved on,
   there is noone to vouch for an idea upon ticket closure and it will
   be lost.

Now, I have no idea if storyboard is 99% outdated bugs or full of really
cool ideas ... nor do I have a brilliant (read: time neutral) idea how to find
the ideas worth keeping :)

Cheers,
 Arne

My thought is actually the opposite -- right now those ideas are open, in storyboard, sitting there for absolutely nobody to read. We don't look in it anymore at all.

If we close them, and put a message on them encouraging movement over to the launchpad, my hope is that any of those issues you've found valuable, once you see it's closed, you may go reopen it with a link in launchpad.

Let's be clear though: the status quo is not okay. We have old bugs in both storyboard and launchpad. Bugs in our community, right now, are rarely used and are not providing value. By keeping the status quo, we are implying to our users we are thinking about those bugs -- when we aren't. I'd rather have a fresh start than persist the status quo.

Hi,

I used storyboard not only for bugs, but also to jot down some ideas for potential
Ironic features/improvements, sometimes even with initial thoughts on how to
implement them. Maybe others have done this as well and I wonder if we would
lose some of these ideas by just marking all open items as invalid.

Cheers,
 Arne

I'm semi-onboard with closing the items out. Surely we could determine some logic? Maybe, dunno.

No concern with the messaging.

Hey all,

I've written a small tool[1] which should (I think; I can't test it all the way until I'm ready to actually change a thing) iterate through stories in a storyboard project, and close any open tasks as invalid with a message.

I'd like to point this script at all the Ironic-related Storyboard projects, closing all the issues with a message like the following:

"Hello Ironic contributor, thank you for filing this bug! We have migrated to the Launchpad bugtracker, located at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ironic, If this bug remains valid, please open an issue in launchpad with the URL to this story for context."

Are folks onboard for having all the tasks closed as invalid in these Ironic-related projects? Any feedback on the messaging?

Thanks,
Jay Faulkner

P.S. For other projects who might want to use the tool as well, wait until I use it for Ironic to help me smooth out any rough edges and then have at it!
