+ <body>
+ <p>By the end of the Q4 2015 period, &a.koobs; (koobs@)
+ started an initiative to form an experimental Bugzilla Triage
+ Team. The main goals of the team are to increase community
+ involvement (addition/training of new triagers) and enhance
+ current procedures and tools, among others. This experiment was
+ started with the participation of Vladimir (blackflow on
+ irc/freenode) and Rodrigo (DanDare on irc/freenode), who
+ approached koobs@ with a desire to contribute and get more
+ involved with the &os; Project. This experimental pilot project
+ has the task of setting up procedures for enhanced Issue (Problem
+ Report) management that include better
+ classification/prioritization, eventually leading to faster
+ resolution of the issues.</p>
+
+ <p>We are now happy to report on the progress of this
+ experimental team:</p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>We have set up the #FreeBSD-bugs IRC channel on
+ Freenode and we are successfully using it to exchange information
+ about triage processes, ask for help, propose changes and discuss
+ related topics.</li>
+
+ <li>We have identified the primary role of an Issue Triage
+ Team to be that of classification of problem reports of all kinds
+ (currently limited mostly to ports and obvious src issues) and
+ facilitation of issue assignment, which is making sure that the
+ reported issues are explained well, contain all the appropriate
+ information (or as much of it as possible), and are brought to
+ attention of the people who can act upon them.</li>
+
+ <li>Vladimir and Rodrigo are successfully training in bug
+ triage as well as porting processes (Vladimir is also taking
+ maintainership of some ports).</li>
+
+ <li>This experiment is benefiting from the introduction of
+ newcomers to issue tracking. It naturally resulted in a entire
+ review of the tracking proccess from its very elementary aspects.
+ This "fresh eyes" participation spotted minor details
+ along the proccess, giving the opportunity to scrutinize actual
+ procedures on a number of smaller points, followed by proposals on
+ how to improve the overall Issue Tracking and Management. The new
+ ideas include both organizational and technical ideas and
+ solutions, such as new or modified keywords or flags for better
+ classification, the triage workflow, and Bugzilla technical
+ improvements among others.</li>
+
+ <li>An important goal is producing documentation not only
+ aimed at people directly engaged on issue triage tasks, but also
+ documentation aimed at general users, about best practices for
+ using Bugzilla and the issue management workflow. Another
+ relevant point is that feedback from triage team can be used to
+ improve Bugzilla in terms of adjusting existing features to best
+ fit &os;'s needs, and development of new features (please see
+ Mahdi "Magic" Mokhtari's report on "Bugzilla
+ improvements").</li>
+
+ <li>We are still collating ideas in preparation of setting
+ up a Wiki namespace for the overall topic of issue management,
+ containing information for all the parties involved in issue
+ tracking: from users (reporters) to maintainers and committers.
+ The unorganized brainstorming document is linked in this
+ report.</li> </ul>
+
+ <p>Since the Issue Triage Team is very young, we expect more
+ information be available and more actions be reported upon in the
+ next Status report.</p>
+ </body>
+
+ <help>
+ <task>
+ <p>Set up the Wiki namespace and organize the brainstorm
+ document into a meaningful set of documents.</p>
+ </task>
+
+ <task>
+ <p>Recruit more suitable triagers into the team.</p>
