Good morning all,
I've just opened http://bugs.impara.de/view.php?id=2141 . Cc'ing it here for discussion:
--------------------------------------------------------------- Here are the current Mantis severities:
feature trivial text tweak minor major crash block
I find these hard to use because:
- there is no "normal" severity. Some issues are neither minor nor major. - there are too many - some are more like categories - tweak sounds like something used for Tweak issues - the meaning of some is obscure (text)
I'd like us to choose a simpler set of severities, perhaps evolving them over time. Ideally old issues will have their severities adapted accordingly. Here's a proposal to get the ball rolling:
serious - crashes, hangs, release blockers, data loss, security breaches, breakages in important stuff normal - every other kind of breakage or problem, except for.. wishlist - things which are more like enhancement requests
