[Hawkular-dev] Spring cleaning

Some of you may have noticed (sorry for the spam) but I was playing with HAWKULAR JIRA. Few things: - Let's use the same terminology for the issues, this is JIRA's terminology: - Bug - A problem which impairs or prevents the functions of the product. - Feature Request - A new feature of the product, which has yet to be developed. - Task - A task that needs to be done. - Enhancement - An enhancement or refactoring of existing functionality Try to think from an Hawkular *user* perspective, so that the release notes are meaningful. Everything could be a task or enhancement, but thinking from a user point of view, changing kettle->dist is a task not an enhancement. Adding something that was not possible before for the user is a "feature request" not to be considered an enhancement (even though it is obviously an enhancement of the project). This is my workflow: - If a feature is broken, this is a bug (Bonus points if you can tell which release was affected, for the moment it's easy as there was no release) - If a feature didn't exist, it is a feature request - If a feature exists and does things faster/better (things changed in the UI for better clarity) this is en enhancement - If it's something that the end user would not really care about (added a test, changed some build stuff), it's a task. - tasks/sub-tasks are evil (as they all have the same kind). Instead of https://issues.jboss.org/browse/HAWKULAR-123 let's use the "Fix-Version(+component)" and properly fill the type. If tasks need to be grouped, please use links. - before closing an issue, check if the type, component, resolution, fix-version are filled and correct. (once closed you can only edit/change by reopening the issue and can't do bulk changes) Thanks, if we all do that, we'll have human readable release notes. Thomas
