SugarZilla

SugarZilla

Purpose

To create a simplified user interface to bugzilla for Sugar Desktop users.

For the reasoning behind this checkoutthis

What it needs to do

• present a simplified and user friendly interface to bugzilla
• all issues will need to be filed by a generic user as we do not want to force users to have to create a bugzilla login.
• reporters will be able, if they desire, to include their email address and be cc'd in on any changes to the report
• interface with the sugarlabs.org trac instance to upstream bugs

Phase I - Authenticate and display

Target date: TBD

• create working link to bugzilla (allow user to report using bugzilla credentials or generic)

• allow user to search existing reports for Sugar activities

• display search results in easy to read and understand format
  • Bug #
  • Assigned to
  • Summary
  • Current status

• allow user to drill down and display report
  • Bug #
  • Assigned to
  • Component
  • Version
  • Summary
  • Current status
  • Comments

• allow user to cc themselves to the report

• allow the user to add comments

Phase II - File new report

Target date: TBD

• Present user with list of Sugar Activities & related packages

• Present user with list of currently maintained releases (should be same as Fedora)

• Ask the user if this is a bug report or Request For Enhancement (RFE)

• Display to user all open bugs for the selected component/release
  • User can then either select a current bug to add their comments to

- or -

• • User can proceed to entering new bug/RFE

• At this point the component/release are already known and the user will be prompted to provide as much detail as possible in regards to the issue

• The user will also be encouraged to cc themselves to the report so they can be contacted by the developers if needed.

• Bug/RFE will be added to bugzilla and confirmation provided to the user

Phase III - Report upstream

Target date: TBD

• Take the newly created report and also submit it to the trac instance at sugarlabs.org

• Create a pipeline between bugzilla and trac instance so information posted in one location is duplicated in the other

Phase IV - Inclusion of non Sugar packages

Target date: TBD

• Sugar releases also contain a base Fedora/Gnome install and users will need to be able to file against those components as well
