This week I’m taking some time to clean up Github Issues. Because we have so many stale issues, I’m being pretty aggressive with my pruning. I am closing issues and also putting them “under review”. If you are a part of any of these issues, you’ll probably notice a lot of email notifications this week.
If I’ve closed an issue you care about, don’t panic, just re-open it so we can discuss it.
As a part of this ticket review process, I’ll be starting some discussions about tickets here where I think it is warranted.
How will we know which ones are getting reviewed as you’re working on them?
I am using two labels to help me track things.
under-review: These ticket need something. Some of them are so old I can’t tell if they are still valid. Others need to be broken up into sub-tasks properly. Some are just confusing. They all need either the original author or a contributor to review it before I would consider it for work.
triage: These tickets are approved for work.
If a ticket does not have one of these labels, I haven’t gotten to it yet. Here’s a list of them so far:
nupic.core
I’ve only started on nupic.core so far, so there’s a lot more work to do.
This is a loooooooooong process. There are over 500 issues. I’m trying to do a little bit every day, but it’s going to take awhile.
@breznak asked me not to be so aggressive about closing issues, so I’ve backed off a bit, but I’ll probably be making sure there is a difference between prioritized tickets and some kind of “backlog”. Still working that out.
