Polish3.3

Revision as of 10:14, 19 April 2007 by Daniel Megert.ch.ibm.com (Talk | contribs) (Platform/Text & JDT/Text)

3.3 Polish Items

This is the raw list of suggested items. I suggest we continue the following way:

  • All submitters that sent considerable more than 5 items: Can you prioritize your list again and only keep your 5 most important items?
  • A fixed polish item should result in immediate improvement for the user in 3.3 for example by improving usability or adding UI coolness. Polish items should not be your favorite bug fix that could also be done in 3.4. Can submitters go through their items again and remove those that don't qualify?
  • Could all team leads add comments below their items until next Wednesday, April 11 if they intend to implement the item for 3.3? Please comment why you don't or can't. For committed items set the 'polish' keyword with the milestone target in bugzilla.
  • McQ went through the list and added the PMC's priorities

In the next status call we can discuss if submitters disagree with the priorization of their items.

I want to stick with the WIKI page as this is a good way to see overall progress and discussions. The 'polish' keyword is also used by comitters for bugs not in this list.

All bugs 3.3M7 or greater with 'polish' keyword

All open bugs 3.3M7 or greater with 'polish' keyword

Fixed items are colored in green

Deferred items are colored in red
