[Gramps-devel] getting closer to 1.0: let's triage bugs and feature requests

[Alex R. <sh...@al...>]

After few discussions it seems that we're getting closer to 1.0 =20
release.

Apparently, there is always many improvements that can be done at any =20
given time. What seemed to be a consensus of the mailing list is that =20
we try to stabilize the existing set of features, polish all we have, =20
make sure it does not break, translations look good, and the like.

Then the plan would be to start working on bigger issues (database =20
backend, gnome-print integration, new reports) after 1.0 is released.
Same would go for smaller (but important) issues like e.g. locale-=20
sensitive date parsing, which are good and useful things, but are not =20
exactly the defects as such.

I realize that it is hard to objectively determine whether any given =20
issue should go into 1.0 or not. However, let's make an effort.

Both Bugs and RFE trackers at sf.net/projects/gramps have now groups =20
titled "urgent", "1.0", and "post-1.0". If something is dear to you or =20
is bugging you in the last release, please post it (either to bugs or =20
RFE, as appropriate) and place it to the group you see fit, =20
accordingly. Nothing is final, we can re-assign the group if needed, so =20
file away those reports :-)

The authors of existing tracker items, please assign your items to =20
either group when you get a chance, otherwise I'll do it with certain =20
degree of random inaccuracy :-)

That way we can focus our efforts to get 1.0 out of the door in good =20
shape and then concentrate on another wave of big changes.

Thanks,
Alex
