[Opensim-dev] MANTIS PRIORITY LIST PROPOSAL

[Charles Krinke]

I concur with Melanie.

In general, the issue with Mantis is that those things which are in the interest sphere of various core developers and patch submitters will be the ones that are fixed. 

So, our strategy is more finding, diagnosing and confirming repeatable failures, as a minimum. Beyond that, patches to fix Mantis issues are greatly appreciated. But, being an all volunteer organization, we have to accept the fact that issues will be fixed as each contributor finds and fixes those issues.

So, everything we can do to make developers lives easier by confirming notes, complete descriptions and diagnosis to minimize developers time is to our advantage.

Charles

"Severity" is a malleable term. To me, a bug that will cause me to 
lose appearance on teleports would be _much_ more severe than one 
that eats SQLite tables.

Because I _do_ care about my avatar's appearance, but _don't_ use 
SQLite.

So, I would think it's really hard to find an objective way of 
ordering bugs.
