  • 1.  Needs Discussion Issues

    Posted 10-01-2010 14:02
    Dear TC members,
    
    as you may have seen by the notifications that have been send out by 
    JIRA today, I did a cleanup of the issues that have a "needs discussion" 
    component set.
    
    This is what I did:
    
    1. There are many issues that have a resolution and the status 
    "resolved", and where "needs-discussion" is set to bring the issue to 
    the attention of the TC so that TC members could object to the resolution.
    
    For some of these issues objections have been raised already. I have set 
    the status of these issues back to "open".
    
    For all other resolved "needs discussion" issues I suggest that we keep 
    the "needs discussion" flag for another week. If no objections are 
    raised by when, we should remove the "needs discussion" flag. I have 
    added a note to these issues.
    
    2. There were a few issues that had "needs discussion" set although 
    there are other issues that have the flag also set, and where the topic 
    that shall be discussed is the same. In that case I have kept the 
    needs-discussion only for one of these issues.
    
    3. A few issues had a needs-discussion, although it seems that there is 
    consensus on the resolution. I have removed the needs-discussion for 
    these issues.
    
    4. A few issues had the needs discussion component set in order to alert 
    Patrick of a change resolution. I have removed the needs discussion 
    component from these issues, but not without notifying Patrick by mail. 
    This seems to be more appropriate to me, since there is nothing that 
    needs discussion in these issues.
    
    5. I've added resolutions for a few needs-discussion issues.
    
    
    The result of the clean-up is that we now can easily differ between 
    issues that are resolved and where purpose of the needs-discussion 
    component is to bring the resolution to the attention of the TC (these 
    are the resolved ones), and those where a resolution is still under 
    discussion (these are the open ones).
    
    As said above, I suggest that we remove the needs-discussion from the 
    resolved issues in a week if no objections are raised in these issues.
    
    The remaining 13 open "needs-discussion" issues may be discussed in the 
    TC calls.
    
    Best regards
    
    Michael
