Priority of resolving issues #28

Closed kevinresol closed 9 years ago

kevinresol commented 9 years ago

In the main haxe repo, when filtering the label "bug" in the issue list, I can see a few issues that are opened more than a year ago. I am not sure but isn't that bugs should be fixed at highest priority?

Among other things, I guess proper issue management is also important for the language's future development.

I think we're doing fine in that area. If an issue is open for a long time it's probably because nobody has yet found a good solution for it. These things can happen in compiler development.

It's perfectly fine to pick some low-hanging fruits as long as you don't go bike shedding constantly. I really don't see what you would like to see changed here.

What about some voting system like this or this? That would also help the Haxe team to focus on things that are most wanted.

I don't think that is necessary. I usually make it very transparent what is and isn't being worked on. Several factors play into the prioritization of issues and popularity within the community is only one of them.

Closing this. The topic is better discussed here
