[Building Sakai] Maintenance Team review of outstanding Jiras

[David Horwitz]

The Sakai maintenance team has started work by reviewing outstanding issues reported against Sakai 2. There are currently 1900 open issues
that have are not assigned:
http://jira.sakaiproject.org/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?reset=true&&pid=10010&resolution=-1&assigneeSelect=unassigned&sorter/field=issuekey&sorter/order=DESC

Of these about 800 are feature requests that probably fall outside the work of the Maintenance Team, they will however require some review to
see that they are in fact Feature requests. The sheer volume of issues requires that the maintenance team be ruthless in closing issues that:

1) Are reported as affecting Sakai 2.4 and before.
2) Have incomplete details and requests for updates have been ignored
3) Are reported against components that are not in the release (i.e. preferable and sdata)
4) The team judges the work in ascertaining if a bug still affects a current version of Sakai outweighs the benefit of fixing it
5) The issue is a task that no one is working on

You can assist the team by reviewing the issues you reported in this bucket and making sure that they are up to date for current versions of Sakai or closing them if not. For your convenience this filter will show you those issues:
