[Chandler-dev] Workload till 0.7.5

[Philippe Bossut]

Hi,

I've been working with Mimi on sorting through a short list of bugs 
(still, 512 bugs is hardly short...), feature requests and user feedback 
to create a plan for the next 3 months for the whole Desktop team. This 
plan will carry us till the end of 0.7.5 (see schedule here: 
http://chandlerproject.org/Projects/ChandlerMilestoneSchedule). Most of 
the raw material for this discussion is here: 
http://chandlerproject.org/Notes/OneDotZeroDesktopBugs

The objectives of this plan are:
- give everyone a good perspective of what we're doing while the pilot 
rearchitecture project is under way
- get to a point where we feel we could take the "Preview" moniker out 
(though we may not call it 1.0 yet...)

The work is distributed within the following "buckets":

- Month View
- Improve Dashboard and Triage workflow
   - Solve various "popping into Now" issues
   - Solve sorting of items in Triage sections
   - Improve Who column and Addressing/assigning field use
- i18n/l10n
- Script recording
- Support for new OSes (Vista, Leopard, Ubuntu GG and HH)
- Rearchitecture pilot project

There's still some thinking that need to be put in there but I'm getting 
to a point where I need to move things around in Bugzilla so I can move 
forward (handling hundreds of evolving bugs in Excel is driving me crazy).

So, I'm just about ready to do the following things:
- change the priority of bugs that *must* be done to P2
- move some *must* bugs currently slated to "Future" in 0.7.future
- reduce the priority of bugs post 3-months to P5 (before moving them to 
Future definitely but I want to make sure that those bugs we already 
triaged to 0.7.future can be reviewed again)

So, if you see lots of movement in your bug list, don't panic: I'm just 
trying to get the work load under control. I'll comment my change as 
much as possible but, if you feel strongly about some changes I made, 
leave a comment in Bugzilla to let me know why you disagree.

Remember also that one thing you can always do to help triaging this 
workload is adding a SWAG to your bugs :)

Cheers,
- Philippe
