User:Ama Omega/archive/script jira triage

Details

Scripting now has its own jira project: https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SCR

This project is special in that it has additional features to better support triage and a scripting backlog. Start by finding the Agile menu in the upper left and choosing 'Planning Board' from it:

Next find the 'Views' menu on the top left and choose 'List':

You should now be at the 'Unscheduled' tasks view which looks vaguely like this:

Each issue listed here is not yet on the backlog and has not been triaged.

Note the two red arrows - either the menu currently labeled 'Unscheduled' or the Backlog button on the bottom right can be used to switch views to the Script Backlog. The Script Backlog contains the issues that have already been triaged.

Old Rules

Every other Monday at Kelly's office hours we will hold a Scripting jira triage. If you have an issue you would like discussed, please add it to the end of the issue triage list below. Please add a single line for each jira with:
your avatar name, jira id, jira subject

Process:

• Delete all issues in "Triaged Last Time"
• Discuss the issues one at a time from top to bottom
• After discussing the issue I will set the 'last triaged' field, change status if appropriate and comment on the issue
• Move the triaged issue down to the "Triaged Last Week" category.

Issues To Triage

Bugs

SVC-3170 Listeners in child prims get positioned at root prim position first, then switch to child prim position after re-rez (resulting in wrong listener / whisper radius)

Note from Cerise, since I always seem to miss these meetings: SVC-3170 was auto-closed at JIRA upgrade but still makes pain for people. The biggest pain from this bug is that the listen point moves after re-rez. I don't know if root or script prim is "better" as long as LSL picks one and stick with it! --Cerise Sorbet 19:28, 25 March 2011 (PDT)
