Compatibility/2014Q4Goals

Please list the individual tasks we need to complete to accomplish these goals before December 31.

Mozilla Web Compatibility Bugs

No bugs older than 6 months

All bugs in Mobile and Desktop components (older than 6 months) should be (re)verified. Most of the bugs which are left out there hanging are basically useless. Either we are making progress by being successful at contacting people. Either we could just close them. So instead of being maybe a big too extreme, we need to have a strategy around the way we manage them. We have the status contactready→sitewait. Maybe we need an additional layer contactready→⤾contacted→sitewait. TO_DISCUSS at Portland work week.

1. [Nothing] UNCONFIRMED/NEW
2. Needdiagnosis: the bug has to be tested and analyzed. NEW
3. Contactready: We need to find contact information and eventually contact. NEW
4. Contacted: An action has been taken to contact the company/person. After 1 month(?!) if the company/person has not replied, we go back to Contactready. ASSIGNED
5. Sitewait: We received acknowledgement that it has been taken into account. ASSIGNED
6. RESOLVED (FIXED, WONTFIX, etc.)
