Bug/Feature tracker

@christoph-hart Low priority should also be listed so they aren't lost, and people can see it as already been raised at a glance. So definitely a more adapted tool would be better (I don't know Mantis).

Alright, then we have a
Confirmed Buglabel for each bug report that goes through the "bug vetting process" (issue raised in the forum and confirmed by multiple parties). When a bug report is raised in the forum, we'll discuss it and decide whether to stick aLow Prioritylabel or aHigh Prioritylabel to it. When this is done, the forum topic will be closed and I'll move it to GitHub issues.Sounds good? This gives us enough flexibility to talk and discuss while keeping the issue list clean and organized.

the forum topic will be closed
Closed = still viewable and no new replies?

@d-healey yes. You can comment on the issue from then on if there‘s something to add but this will prevent that the conversation is split between the places.
-
Also maybe we can tag the forum topics that are supposed to lead to a GitHub issue with a certain tag (eg. "BUG TRACKER"), then it's easier to keep track of them.
Lots of rules :)

This is great! I am happy to see this happening.
-
@christoph-hart And either mark the thread as FIXED or even delete it, unless there's a good reason to keep it if the issue is fixed?
-
@ustk not sure if we need to delete the topic - when its locked it will automatically be buried by other topics.
I would also suggest to not marking the forum topic fixed - if you want the information of which bugs are still active, just use the Github issue list (Closed issues will automatically be removed from the list).
-
so just to be clear on how best to report a bug:
- open a thread, make sure it's valid and other people can reproduce it
- make an issue report on GitHub
- post the GitHub issue link in the forum thread
Correct?
-
@crd Yes, but please wait between step 1 and 2 until it has been confirmed by at least one person.

yeah not sure that works..I arrive looking for a bug ... find it in the forum with a "confirmed bug" and "high priority"....
so I go look in Github only not to find it (its been deleted as finished). So at this point I dont know the status: fixed? Not loaded into Github yet? forgotten? missed? We need a "fixed" status I think...and if that points to a release that would be good, sounding more and more like we should use a (cough) proper bug tracking system...but we could just ad "FIXED" to the forum entry I guess..

@lindon Closed issues on GitHub will not be deleted, they just don't show up in the list of open issues, so if you click on that link in the forum topic, you'll get a valid issue that will be marked as closed (=fixed).

@christoph-hart -oh okay, all fine then nothing to see here, everyone back on their heads....
