Bugtracker Cleanup Day

We're going to clean up the Scribus bugtracker!

Why: Because it's long overdue, son

When: Sometime before the end of the 2015

Proposal

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
  • Define how to use the 'Priority' designation
  • 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 ?
