[Scons-dev] Is Tigris issue tracking actively used?

[Andrew Featherstone]

Hi Dirk,

Ok it's good to know where to be looking. For me the number of open 
issues gives a (false) negative impression that the project's 
development is stale. For me, P1 bugs are triaged as "is an issue which 
causes detrimental behaviour (e.g. deletes source code, compiles source 
code with different flags, misses changes in source code), and must be 
fixed in the next release". Only two of the P1 issues have been 
commented on in the past two years, and some have sat still since 2009! 
As I said, this is confusing at best to someone who wants to get a feel 
for the current status of an open source project.

Moving forwards it'd be nice to know that tackling issues in the issue 
tracker is worthwhile, that comments don't go unread, etc. Who marks 
what issues must be fixed for the next version? Is there any plan for 
existing issues to be updated? Do the developers communicate through the 
issue tracker or some other method e.g. IRC?

Regards,
Andrew
