[PROPOSAL] Increase community involvement by enabling contributors to assign themselves to their own issues.

Hi All,

*Preamble*
Currently community involvement in the project is good, but like in any
other other open source project it could be better. And better is more
favourable than just good or good enough, right?

The thing is, that many perceive that contributors don't take ownership of
their own issues in JIRA. They create the issue and at best provide
comments to further explain and/or add replies to questions? But that is
that. And the person assigned to the issue is regarded as the one
responsible for having the issue brought to closure.

This has led to the situation that we now have approx of 780 open issues,
of which 600 are unassigned. Some of which are quite old (pre r10), even
those with committers assigned.

But this isn't how it should be. The creator of the issue should be
regarded as the owner, the persons who brings the issue to closure. And the
committer should be regarded as the gatekeeper/enabler regarding having
patches committed and process followed.

Currently contributors can't be assigned to issues they are willing to work
on, so that they can take ownership. That contributors can't be assigned to
a JIRA issue, is due to the fact that they don't have the proper role set.
In stead of being identified with the role 'Contributor Project Role', they
are treated as 'Any Registered User' (in accordance with the standard
permissions scheme for JIRA, see
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/INFRA/Role+Based+JIRA+Authorization
).

*Improvement (the proposal)*
In order to improve this situation and increase community involvement, we
should assign the 'Contributor Project Role' to recognised contributors
(see the Contributors page in the wiki:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBADMIN/Apache+OFBiz+Contributors)
so that they can be assigned to JIRA issues. Also, we should enable
contributors to be able to assign themselves to their own issues and have
them take ownership.

Enabling contributors to take ownership of JIRA issues will enable the
project to identify the more active community members more easily (as
opposed to those who fire and forget) and get more issues assigned and
closed, but it also helps lessening the burden on committers.
Infrastructure has already such a construct in place to enable project
contributors to do more (see
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/INFRA/Role+Based+JIRA+Authorization,
the *Default plus Contributor Assign Permission Scheme*).

What do you think?

Best regards,

Pierre Smits

Hi Pierre,

Thanks for the research and the detailed proposal.
Good idea, I'm all for it. If nobody is against I will ask infra to switch the OFBiz Jira to the "*Default plus Contributor Assign Permission Scheme."*

What is the best way of starting with OfBiz?
I was thinking get a host , use the CMS feature of OfBiz and build a website
to get familiar with OfBiz and then start contributing to development.
I have never worked with JIRA but have a good knowledge of Java, JSP and Servlet.
Is there any training courses available in North America ?
Any suggestion that help me to contribute to development as soon as possible is appreciated.
Thanks

Jira is really easy to use, at least when you being and don't try to setting it from the inside
This could help you https://www.atlassian.com/software/university/overview

Did you know that Jira is underneath using the OFBiz Entity Engine ?

"Did you know that Jira is underneath using the OFBiz Entity Engine?"

That is interesting, could you elaborate?

By and large try https://www.google.com/search?q=jira+ofbiz&ie=UTF-8

OFBiz is a the heart of Jira. Atlassian built its success on Jira, which was built on OFBiz Entity Engine, QED
Then ORMs like Hibernate did not exist... Maybe it was a chance for Atlassian... and Jira, this is only my opinion :D

In reply to this post by Pierre Smits

Hi Pierre

I think this is a good proposal. It would also work in the case where we have a jira created but don't necessarily need a patch to fix the issue (I'm thinking potentially of any general documentation related tasks etc)

Thanks

Hi All,


*Preamble*
Currently community involvement in the project is good, but like in any
other other open source project it could be better. And better is more
favourable than just good or good enough, right?

The thing is, that many perceive that contributors don't take ownership of
their own issues in JIRA. They create the issue and at best provide
comments to further explain and/or add replies to questions? But that is
that. And the person assigned to the issue is regarded as the one
responsible for having the issue brought to closure.

This has led to the situation that we now have approx of 780 open issues,
of which 600 are unassigned.  Some of which are quite old (pre r10), even
those with committers assigned.

But this isn't how it should be. The creator of the issue should be
regarded as the owner, the persons who brings the issue to closure. And the
committer should be regarded as the gatekeeper/enabler regarding having
patches committed and process followed.

Currently contributors can't be assigned to issues they are willing to work
on, so that they can take ownership. That contributors can't be assigned to
a JIRA issue, is due to the fact that they don't have the proper role set.
In stead of being identified with the role 'Contributor Project Role', they
are treated as 'Any Registered User' (in accordance with the standard
permissions scheme for JIRA, see
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/INFRA/Role+Based+JIRA+Authorization
).

*Improvement (the proposal)*
In order to improve this situation and increase community involvement, we
should assign the 'Contributor Project Role' to recognised contributors
(see the Contributors page in the wiki:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBADMIN/Apache+OFBiz+Contributors)
so that they can be assigned to JIRA issues. Also, we should enable
contributors to be able to assign themselves to their own issues and have
them take ownership.

Enabling contributors to take ownership of JIRA issues will enable the
project to identify the more active community members more easily (as
opposed to those who fire and forget) and get more issues assigned and
closed, but it also helps lessening the burden on committers.
Infrastructure has already such a construct  in place to enable project
contributors to do more (see
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/INFRA/Role+Based+JIRA+Authorization,
the *Default plus Contributor Assign Permission Scheme*).

What do you think?

Pierre,

I have added you as a Jira contributor to test things (should be OK).
When I will get a chance I will add other wiki contributors

What is the status of this experiment? If you are considering it successful then we should extend similar rights to all the contributors.

OK I slept on it, and I finally see no reasons to not allow all contributors this possibility!

It will help the community by and large.

Hi

That's great news, and I think it will also help to facilitate participation in general as well as the Community Day that's coming up next week.

Thanks
