=Logging=
+
We use [http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/platform-ui-home/componentAreas.html?view=co component area tags] in square brackets in the bug Summary. These tags denote the area in Platform UI where the bug exists. The tags facilitate querying of all bugs in a certain component category.  Different committers own different components.
+
When logging a bug, you can use these tags to help the person triaging to understand the bug and to know who to assign the bug to.
+
 
+
=Triage=
+
 
+
* triage monkey assigns bug to the appropriate owner
+
* you can use the [http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/platform-ui/greasemonkey/ greasemonkey script] to automate category and ownership assignment
+
* owner examines bug and applies categorization
+
 
+
=Categorization=
+
 
+
==Real==
+
 
+
The bug is real and is one we intend on fixing in the milestone specific.  Although we cannot promise to address it in this timeframe this is our intention.
+
 
+
Status: '''ASSIGNED'''
+
Milestone: '''something reasonable'''
+
 
+
==Real No Time==
+
 
+
The bug is real but we do not have the time to address it.  We would entertain patches for these issues.
+
 
+
Status: '''ASSIGNED'''
+
Milestone: '''no milestone'''
+
Keywords: '''helpwanted if appropriate'''
+
 
+
==Real Not A Priority==
+
 
+
The bug is real but we do not feel it's that important.  We would entertain patches for these issues.
+
 
+
Status: '''ASSIGNED'''
+
Keywords: '''helpwanted if appropriate'''
+
Priority: '''P5'''
+
 
+
==Not Real==
+
 
+
The bug is not valid.  We will not address it further.  If it's a bug regarding established behaviour we do not wish to change mark as '''WONTFIX'''.  If it's simply not a problem as described in the report use '''INVALID'''.
+
 
+
Status: '''WONTFIX or INVALID'''
+
 
+
=Accepting Patches From The Community=
+
The following steps should be taken when committing patches from members of the community who are not committers on the Eclipse top-level project.
+
 
+
# examine the patch and apply if it's deemed acceptable
+
# ensure that the bug is assigned to yourself
+
# ensure that the bug has the "contributed" keyword
+
# mark the bug as fixed and include in the comment "patch applied"
