Notes
- API will be very young and is likely to require time and bugfixes as usage ramps up.
- Our Bugtracker plugin support is in a similar situation, though less likely to require a large amount of fixes or modification.
- Ubuntu:
- Consider the distro team wishlist too.
- Steve M and Pat M (USG):
- mass bug editing number 1 request (setting and changing milestone for multiple bugs, adding a comment and changing status for a set of bugs)
- date range queries for open, modified and verified
- navigation within a set of query results (a next/previous bug session hanger)
- performance as a major issue (cited 10-30s page loads)
- cited the lack of ordering of bug queries using columns
- would like to be able to define fields per-project for new bug reports (my idea is to have a little schema language, request the information from the reporter, and then dump it into the description -- kiko)
- Mentioned a verified status for post-release QA.
- MOTU:
- also cited performance (cited 3-second page loads)
- Auto-detecting threads related to bug reports
- Bazaar:
- Mass bug editing would be high on our list
- Consider https://wiki.canonical.com/BazaarInfrastructureNeeds
- Performance also cited
Bug tracker integration candidates
- Java bugtracker integration (david.herron@sun.com)
- MySQL bugtracker integration
- JIRA
- The Bug Genie
- BerliOS
