Support/Kitsune/BugGuidelines

This document summarizes the bug guidelines for what should be fixed in the old codebase and what should be deferred to Kitsune, in conjunction with Support/SUMOMigrationOrder.

Overview

Note: Kitsune refers to the new codebase.

• Feature requests go to Kitsune
• Important & urgent bug fixes for old codebase are done in maintenance releases
  • Important bugs are those that break basic functionality required for site usage
    • Examples: adding/editing a wiki page, adding/editing a forum post, administering users, login process
  • Urgent bugs are those that are highly time sensitive
    • Examples: security hole, EU ballot specific functionality (custom start page, etc), new Firefox release handling
• All other bugs should be deferred to Kitsune.
  • Generally: if it's neither important nor urgent, it can wait.
  • However, decision to defer to Kitsune can depend on Support/SUMOMigrationOrder

Specifics

This section depends heavily on Support/SUMOMigrationOrder.
