The Inbox Query contains all the
- open issues that
- have no milestone assignment.
The inbox tracker should do the following initial triage:
- Is the issue invalid? Close it, with a brief explanation.
- Is the issue a general question, like "How can I make a blinking button?" Close it and redirect to Stack Overflow or gitter; fodder for a redirecting response can be harvested from this message.
- Is the issue better filed against Flutter or the Dart SDK? Move it using the GitHub Issue Mover.
- Is the issue an obvious duplicate? Close it with a pointer to the duplicated issue.
- Is this issue a bug? Add the
bug
label. - Is this issue a feature? Add the
enhancement
label. - Is the issue a
P0
or aP1
? Assign the relevant label.- For P0s, let the team know and find an immediate owner. Fixes for P0s get patched into the current stable release.
- For P1s, assign an owner and ping them. We'll plan to get fixes for P1s into the next stable release.
- Milestone assignment:
- For very high priority issues, assign to the current or upcoming milestones; these are ones you know people plan to work on imminently
- For things that have a high likelihood of being triaged them into the next milestone during planning, assign to the 'On Deck' milestone
- For things we're not willing to close, assign to the 'Backlog' milestone
- Assign any relevant
topic-
labels, and - Edit the issue's title to best represent our new understanding of the issue; this will save time for every other person who needs to skim the issue titles in the future
- if an issue with the
waiting for customer response
label is not responded to in 14 days, it's automatically closed with an appropriate message - to move an issue to another repo, add the comment:
/move to flutter
For issues that clearly belong in the flutter/flutter repo, please do very initial triaging (for example, report 'flutter doctor -v' output with your bug), remove any of our github labels, and move the issue to the flutter/flutter repo by adding the comment to the issue: /move to flutter
.
We don't have a process for monitoring or triaging IDE issue in the flutter/flutter repo, but likely should. Some candidate github searches:
- https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22dev%3A+ide+-+jetbrains%22
- https://github.com/flutter/flutter/labels/dev%3A%20ide%20-%20vscode
To move flutter/flutter issues to the flutter-intellij repo, add a comment to the issue: /move to ide
.
