The main tool of thunderbird-drivers is a rough prioritization of bugs done with a couple of flags: | The main tool of thunderbird-drivers is a rough prioritization of bugs done with a couple of flags: | ||
; Blocking: | ; Blocking: a bug that, if it were the last unfixed bug, we would hold a release for, rather than ship without. Note that this implies that fixing the bug is worth the time-value of not having the rest of the release in hands of end-users for that much longer. | ||
; Wanted: a restricted set of things that thunderbird-drivers think would be nice to have, but that we would be willing to ship without. | ; Wanted: a restricted set of things that thunderbird-drivers think would be nice to have, but that we would be willing to ship without. Note that wanted- doesn't mean that we wouldn't accept a patch; it means that we're not actively devoting any energy in trying to get this into Thunderbird 3. | ||
Note that as new information appears and time passes, the bugs that are considered blocking+ and wanted+ are likely to change somewhat. | |||
Do keep in mind, also, that there are many more desirable bugs & features than can possibly be shipped in any given release. A particular bug not making the cut for this next release doesn't necessarily mean it's not important, but it _does_ mean that thunderbird-drivers feels that there other are bugs that are even more important to devote some of our limited resources to. | |||
