Add a "trivial" label #45
Comments
Done! :-) |
I question the use of a label "trivial" - if it's that easy to fix it: Fix It! If one cannot fix it - it's most likely not that easy - right? ;-) |
I think there are many good reasons for a trivial component. Libreoffice for example has their Easy Hacks which have been a big success (see http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Easy_Hacks). They allow new contributors to participate in the project and in addition they might save time of real developers. In the gnome bugzilla for example there have been bugreports to correct the address of the FSF marked as trivial. I had fun writing a script to take care of that and hopefully something great got developed by some other developer at the time. Often when I report bugs I am not at my workstation but remote, thus reporting the bug makes the issue remembered and gives me or others the opportunity to solve it later. In conclusion I see the trivial component as one for new contributors, or contributors looking for a small challenge in the evening. Trivial bug reports might need time to be solved, but they do not need in depth knowledge of the software architecture. Thanks. |
Thanks for the detailed explanation - under that view point it kind of makes sense. I'd suggest to call it 'Junior Jobs' with the clear definition that a new contributor can easily dive into ownCloud. As a result we (long time ownCloud devs) need to give some more explanation on such tickets. |
Perfectly fine with such a rename. Your label is indeed more speaking for itself. |
Or "Papercut" as it's called within KDE. A small detail that doesn't break anything, but keeps annoying you. |
Hi,
there are often reports such as untranslated strings, or code formatting issues.
I think a trivial tag would be great for them, so inexperienced users could solve them.
So nice to have a working bug tracker. Thanks!
