Dear all,

The status page below gives us an indication of the status of all bugs 
assigned to all products. I suggest we all bookmark it as it will be the 
basis for monitoring various tasks related to our products

Its here: http://tinyurl.com/yv2qo3

From problem management and release management point of view - 
Developers of their respective products should aim to apply correct 
status to the bugs as per the guidelines outlined in the problem 
management process documentation (which is yet to be published). While 
we await the full document, here is an extract from the document which 
briefly describes how to use bugzilla and the states.

Basically the bugs can be in one of the following states.

** *New* *- Bugs that have been reported but acknowledged

** *Assigned - A bug for which the developer has acknowledged that he 
has seen it and will investigate it (a bug has to enter this state)

** *Assigned – Request for Change – If a change is required and is 
currently being processed

* Resolved - A bug for which there is now one of the following 
resolutions is available.

/- Fixed/ (as workaround) - Provide workaround, provide pointer to FAQ entry

/- Fixed/ (by change) - Provide version number released which fixes the bug

/- Won't fix/ - Bug is present but for some reasons, we won't fix it for 
now - provide reasoning in the description

/- Duplicate/ - Bug is a duplicate of another bug - provide pointer to 
the other bug (which will be updated and should be referred to)

Reopened – A previously resolved bug has been reopened. The reason for 
reopening the bug will be included in the comments on the bug.

Verified* *– If the bug reporter and/or the testing process verifies 
that a bug is fixed (either by workaround or by change) then the bug 
enters this state*
*

Closed - A bug is closed either because its verified or because the 
verification process timed out.


A flow diagram which details how the states can change from one to 
another is in attachment. Please let me know if you have any questions 
related to this.

regards,
