Then we should either release earlier (we are progressing on this) or discuss the bug later (which couldn't be worst in the past).

I know you've got an NDA on it so you can't comment much, but then, what's the point of marking it as fixed?
It's a way to show progress and discuss/concentrate on new things. A way to bypass that NDA. You don't know the energy it takes for people like ragnar or me to go through these things being able to mark as fixed/wontfix things that belong to unreleased releases.

Also by resolving bugs/requests we liberate votes that can be used to promote another bugs/requests undecided at the moment.


I like to see Bugzilla as a collaborative tool shared by developpers and users to exchange their views on some software.
Yes, I'm also advocating on this approach. For this to happen there must be a different expectation on what is open source and what is not, though. Demand explanations in whatever is open and let's move forward using the minimal extra energy in the rest.



Marking bugs as RESOLVED without telling anyone what you did to resolve it doesn't seem much interesting to me. Now the bug is not in the OPEN state anymore. So noone is supposed to be working on it anymore, while it's not fixed in Diablo. And noone will bother working on it, since there is a fix, in Fremantle.
As agreed with the Bugsquad team, bugs fixed means that there is code available (now internally, out soon). That code might be alpha, so there is still a lot of work to be done around it. Feature requests are resolved once they are roadmapped for a specific release, which means that they will happen (unless something weird happens) but most/all the work still needs to be done. This week I have ben resolving as fixed feature requests targeting Harmattan already. I think the information is useful.

I don't know... maybe it's a massive bug hunt that nokia is doing... but I don't get the point of it.[/QUOTE]
