Guidelines for submitting bugs/patches to Jira

[Jacopo Cappellato-3]

To all the users and contributors.

We have recently updated some of the information in Jira to make a better use of this tool: over time this should have a positive impact in the information we will gather and distribute for releases and it will simplify release scheduling.
In order to capture the proper information in Jira for bugs and new features we need your help; so please read the following notes that describe the new guidelines for submitting a bug or a patch/fix/contribution:

* leave the "Fix Version/s" field empty: this will be used by committers to specify the future release that will contain the fix
* specify in the "Affect Version/s" the codebase(s) you have used to generate the issue or implement the fix/feature; this could be the Trunk, one of the active Release Branches or an actual Release; in short, you can select from the dropdown one or more of the items under the "Released Versions" group in the top part of the drop down box; you should never use one of the items in the "Unreleased Versions" section (bottom part)

For example at the moment the *valid* items for the "Affect Version(s)" field are:
* 11.04.04 (release downloaded from http://ofbiz.apache.org/download.html )
* 12.04.03 (release downloaded from http://ofbiz.apache.org/download.html )
* Trunk (source code checked out from http://ofbiz.apache.org/source-repositories.html )
* Release Branch 13.07 (source code checked out from http://ofbiz.apache.org/source-repositories.html )
* Release Branch 12.04 (source code checked out from http://ofbiz.apache.org/source-repositories.html )
* Release Branch 11.04 (source code checked out from http://ofbiz.apache.org/source-repositories.html )

This is all.
As usual please also select a Component, a Priority and specify a Summary/Description; leave all the other fields empty.

Thanks for your great help! As soon as we will have more data gathered in this way we will provide some nice reports to leverage this information.

Jacopo,

I suggest you put it somewhere in the documentation as well.
