Re: [w3c sml] Action 108 - tracking bugs

Reading through this, it confirms we have a process "bug".  There are two 
exits from Editorial, one needing review by the group of the proposed 
change (needsReview) and the other going straight to resolved w/o that 
review.  We already encountered this once in practice, where Kumar had to 
put a comment in the bug so he wouldn't forget to review the proposed 
change with the group.
Seems to me we need to separate the two, eg editorial and editorialReview 
or some such.

Best Regards, John

[w3c sml] Action 108 - tracking bugs






Please review the attached diagram. This is a proposal from the editors
to track the state of bugs. The ovals are actions performed by the WG
and the rectangles represent keywords we can use to track the bug
status. This proposal is a (very) simplified version of what the schema
group is doing. 

Keywords (they are lower case / camel case):

No keyword - the bug is new and ready for triage.

'needsAgreement' - the bug is being discussed or otherwise waiting on
some action and not yet ready for the editors.

'editorial' - the bug is ready for an editor to take it and perform the
required editorial action based on the resolution agreed upon by the WG.
Note that anyone entering a simple 'typo' bug should add this keyword
when they submit the bug so we don't spend time on triage for typos.

'needsReview' - the editorial change is complete but the editor would
like the WG to review the change. This state may be skipped. That is,
the editor may choose to move the bug directly to 'resolved' if she
feels that no review is necessary. 

'resolved' - the bug is resolved.

I will change the bugs we reviewed today to add the appropriate keywords
- assuming I don't get any major objections to this proposal.
