Bugtracker Cleanup Day 2015

Bugtracker Cleanup Day
We're going to clean up the Scribus bugtracker!

Why: ' Because it's time, son''

When: Sometime before the end of the 2015

Guidelines for Cleaning Bugs

 * Move obsolete 'Assigned' bugs to 'Acknowledge' status or 'Confirmed'
 * Clean up bugs that are >1.4.x
 * Update all Metabugs by creating a 'Metabug 1.5' ticket for each open metabug. This way metabugs don't show up in the stats as the longest open tickets.
 * Clean up tags
 * Clean up Severity category
 * Clean up Priority category
 * Clean up backend database of registered obsolete user

MantisBT infrastructure

 * Consider adding new Ticket Status Values (per this thread in the scribus-dev ML)
 * Define how to use the 'Severity' designation and create explanation document
 * Define how to use the 'Priority' designation and create explanation document
 * find out a way to not update the date of ticket so it doesn't clutter the 'Latest Activity' in the bug tracker
 * Increase the display/view default threshold file size of attached pictures from 200K to 500K

MantisBT Upgrades
Add some plugins capabilities to Mantis
 * lightroom capability to a bug to be able to view the attached images more streamlined
 * Ability to report bugs via email for verified testers
 * Add drag-drop
 * Add multiple files
 * Slicker UI by using a theme ?

How to test bugs

 * 1) Please have the latest Scribus 1.4.5 (optional 1.4.6svn) and 1.5.0 (though we recommended 1.5.1svn)
 * 2) If you can test multiple OSs that would be very welcome (using a Virtual Machine would be a good idea to do this)
 * 3) If you notate a ticket please do so in a way where you identify your OS, OS version, Qt version, Scribus version(, & Scribus revision)
 * 4) If your find a bug while you're testing a pre-existing bug PLEASE:
 * 5) * make sure that bug doesn't already exist
 * 6) * start a new bug report for said bug and NOT just mention that you a found a new bug in a comment of a preexisting bug.
