PhoneGap Issue Gardening Call 2011-11-28

Goals for the call

  • Disable issues on GitHub/PhoneGap
  • Mirror issues from GitHub/Callback to JIRA
  • Typical issue gardening (culling, assign, prioritize, and update)

GitHub Issues

  • Our users are still logging issues under GitHub instead of JIRA
  • We do not want to force users to use JIRA, because they will simply stop logging issues
  • So, our maintainers will take on the responsibility of mirroring GitHub issues on JIRA. This includes comments.
  • We will need to transfer existing GitHub issues to JIRA
  • Brian will be creating JIRA issues to transfer these tickets

Disabling GitHub/PhoneGap Issues

  • At the moment, user's are logging issues on both github.com/phonegap and github.com/callback
  • We will disable the github.com/phonegap issue tracker and make github.com/callback the only point of entry
  • Brian will create JIRA issues to do this for each platform

Platform Specific Tasks

Android

  • Simon has already taken care of transferring issues from GitHub

iOS

  • JIRA issue for Shaz to transfer issues from GitHub
  • Becky is not on the call, so we will not be walking through the iOS issues

BlackBerry

  • JIRA issue for Michael to transfer issues GitHub

WP7

  • JIRA issue for Jesse to transfer issues GitHub

Docs

  • Michael will move the existing GitHub issues to JIRA

Side Discussions and TODOS

Renaming GitHub repositories

  • Hold off on renaming Cordova until it's finalized
  • It's confusing enough for our users

Committers and Contributors

  • Brian will look into how to find a list of approved committers
  • Where "committers" are those who have signed the CLA
  • At the moment, we aren't sure how to check if someone has signed the Apache CLA

PhoneGap Documentation

  • In the future, we need to create code style guides for each language

White-listing

  • We need to standardize the format for white-listing
  • We will open up a discussion on callback-dev about the format to use
  • We do not want to use a regex because each platform has a different parser

Multiple Issue Trackers

  • We should kick up a discussion on callback-dev about using both GitHub and JIRA or just JIRA
  • It's difficult to maintain both, but most of our community will not be interested in signing up for Apache Callback's JIRA to log a bug

Copyright License

  • We need to remove copyright references in the license files
  • Brian will follow up with our release procedure
