Hi John,
Welcome among us.
You help is welcome also in this moment.
And thanks a lot for the explanations, that's right that we have not a
good utilisation of our management 's bugs plateform.
Your cleaning is falling down at the good period with our future
plans. Like this, we will have a better management/view of the bugs,
wishlist, Question,...
Oh I should introduce me : I am Olivier Girard (french) that you know
me better as Cenwen.
Best regards.

Hello all OpenShot Developer,
I would like to introduce myself to the team. My name is John
Volk, I do not know how to program but would like to help with the
bug management of OpenShot. I'm sorry for all the bug mail going
to the whole team, but I'm still trying to familiarize myself with
the guidelines for triaging bugs. From what I can tell most of you
are developers actually working on code, but I think it is
still crucial for you guys to know whats going on. Well here are
the things that Johnathan would liked worked on in terms of bugs.
* *Duplicates* - I still think we have lot of duplicate
reports that need to be consolidated. The trick is to
find the best bug report to link all the duplicates to.
* *Remove* the "wishlist" tag.
* *MLT Related Crashes* - I would love to somehow separate
all the MLT related issues, including segmentation
faults, flashes of white, video decoding issues, etc...
Maybe we could use an "mlt" tag, or something similar.
It is my belief that most of our bugs are related to
MLT rather than OpenShot, so once they have all been
identified.... the next step is to mark them as
"invalid" or assign them to the "MLT" launchpad project
instead. However, let's not pull the trigger on closing
or moving these bug reports quite yet. But eventually,
I would like them to disappear from our bug list.
* *Incompletes* - Many reports just don't have enough info
to reproduce the issue, or they are just vague
"something broke" reports. I would love to mark all of
these bugs as "incomplete"
It is also very important that everyone is consistent when
organizing bugs. I am trying to follow
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/HowToTriage as best as possible. I
will summarize below.
* *Wishlist - *When the importance is set to wishlist, set the
status to*Triaged*.
* *Patch - *When ever you add a patch to a bug mark the
attachment as a patch and add the patch tag. This is what
the triage guide says to do, but I do not know if the tag
is necessarily. Any thoughts? (I wouldn't mind deleting it)
* *Importance - *The importance needs to always be set. The
default is medium. see
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Importance for more details.
* *Confirmed - *The status should be set to confirmed when the
bug is affecting more than one person. If you (not the bug
reporter) can reproduce the bug it can also be marked as
confirmed.
* *Triaged - *The status should be set triaged when a bug can
be confirmed and is ready to be worked on by a developer.
see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Improving
* *Incomplete - *Not enough information.
One thing that needs to be worked on is setting more bugs to
triaged. Yesterday there was only one or two bug triaged. The
whole wishlist is triaged now too.
This is what I am trying to follow, but if OpenShot already
follows a different system, please let me know. I am looking
forward to working with you all.
BTW During most of the summer starting tomorrow night, I will only
be able to be at a computer on Saturday nights.
