I know TracTrac An open source project by Edgewall Software that serves as a bug tracker and project management tool for WordPress. is not always the most intuitive application. Having to set up email preferences in a profile, then add your name to the cc box on a ticketticket Created for both bug reports and feature development on the bug tracker. to get a notification when someone comments is not an optimal user experience. However, it’s what we have right now, and I’m thinking that maybe that non-intuitive flow is part of why there are over a hundred tickets that have been looked at and commented on, and are sitting around waiting for reporter feedback and/or steps to reproduce. In a few cases, the reporter-feedback tagtag A directory in Subversion. WordPress uses tags to store a single snapshot of a version (3.6, 3.6.1, etc.), the common convention of tags in version control systems. (Not to be confused with post tags.) simply wasn’t removed when it should be, but most of them are still waiting for more info. If you have reported any bugs or requested any enhancements, please check the reporter-feedback queue to see if there’s anything waiting on more info from you. Thanks!

This keyword must be used on any tickets that may or need to lead to a string change from now until the end of the cycle. We’ll use this to track when to call the string freeze, and then to track any times we need to break the freeze. (I will update the translators as necessary over at http://wppolyglots.wordpress.com.)

We migrated all the .org tracTrac An open source project by Edgewall Software that serves as a bug tracker and project management tool for WordPress. installs and svn repositories (except WP.org plugins which had been moved previously) to a new server today and upgraded from Trac 0.11 to 0.12. Unfortunately, it didn’t go so well and trac is somewhat broken (sporadic internal errors, custom queries not working, reports showing wrong data). SVNSVN Subversion, the popular version control system (VCS) by the Apache project, used by WordPress to manage changes to its codebase. is working fine. We are working on figuring out the problem and will update this post once we have more information. Sorry for the trouble.

I’ve emptied and deleted the Awaiting Triagetriage The act of evaluating and sorting bug reports, in order to decide priority, severity, and other factors. milestone. This milestone had held 3.1 tickets before we decided to empty that bucket out and start again.

We still have nearly 500 tickets in Awaiting Review. We should try to whittle those down before betaBeta A pre-release of software that is given out to a large group of users to trial under real conditions. Beta versions have gone through alpha testing in-house and are generally fairly close in look, feel and function to the final product; however, design changes often occur as part of the process. hits and that gets flooded.

Dropped the Awaiting Review queue by about 150 tickets in the last two evenings. There’s another 450 there, and 290 in Awaiting Triagetriage The act of evaluating and sorting bug reports, in order to decide priority, severity, and other factors.. You may recall that Awaiting Triage were 3.1 tickets prior to us rebooting that milestone. Ideally Triage should be emptied.

Hoping to reduce both significantly before betaBeta A pre-release of software that is given out to a large group of users to trial under real conditions. Beta versions have gone through alpha testing in-house and are generally fairly close in look, feel and function to the final product; however, design changes often occur as part of the process. goes out and we get flooded, so I’m going to aim to handle about 50 a night.

Feel free to jump in at any point. 🙂

WordPress 3.0.1 is released. 55 tickets went into it. I opened the 3.0.2 milestone last week, and just now I’ve closed 3.0.1.

We pushed 3.0.1 twice, the second time about 20 minutes later, as we forgot about #14454. Not a big deal, but we’ve recommended over Twitter and on the announcement that you update again if you downloaded it before 2200 UTC.

We did a db version bump with the hope that we could force the APIAPI An API or Application Programming Interface is a software intermediary that allows programs to interact with each other and share data in limited, clearly defined ways. to return 3.0.1 again if you’re not at the proper version, but we don’t pass the db version via wp_update_check(). (@todo).

The Unassigned milestone has been renamed to Awaiting Review. (If TracTrac An open source project by Edgewall Software that serves as a bug tracker and project management tool for WordPress. gives you any “Invalidinvalid A resolution on the bug tracker (and generally common in software development, sometimes also notabug) that indicates the ticket is not a bug, is a support request, or is generally invalid. Milestone Name” errors, just refresh.)

Additionally, all open tickets in the 3.1 milestone have been moved to a temporary Awaiting Triagetriage The act of evaluating and sorting bug reports, in order to decide priority, severity, and other factors. milestone, to enable us to re-sort these without mixing these in with new tickets coming in, to ensure new tickets are reviewed as soon as possible after submission.

Per our timeline, 3.1 now says active development will begin in September 2010.
