Issue Guidelines

    From The Document Foundation Wiki


    Standard practice

    Only issues that have someone to implement them may be reported on Redmine. Otherwise, report them on Bugzilla: https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/bug/.

    Only the designer and the dev working on the issue may edit it. Input from others belongs on the associated forum thread.

    Issue phases

    • 0% done: A designer has decided to work on an issue. If the issue requires dev work, the presence of the issue on Redmine means a dev is ready to work on the bug as well.
    • 20% done: The designer and dev have done their research and the goal and the scope of the project have been established.
    • 40% done: The tentative design is done and ready for feedback.
    • 60% done: The tentative design has been approved and is ready for implementation.
    • 80% done: The experimental implementation is done and requires testing and feedback.
    • 100% done: The design is polished and can be incorporated into the next release.
