Example of providing a good issue resolution Was: [jira] Closed: (HARMONY-2077) [doc] Good issue resolution guideline
Alexey, all,
Let me attract your attention to a resolution of issue [1]. If you
follow Ivan's comments you will see how an elegant one-line solution
springs up from a nowhere.
Why I'm asking you to spend your time on investigating resolved issue?
>From my perspective it is very good example of how a good issue should
evolve. It definitely worth effort to document intermediate steps,
because
* Writing down the facts orders them and builds the whole picture.
* Reading through comments makes a patch review and understanding much easier.
* Someone who is interested in resolution could join at any time.
That is why I asked to add regular reports on issue progress to the
guidelines. From this example we can extract a good rate for
commenting: a comment per hour.

Best regards,

I'm not sure we can put a time limit on this - one comment an hour is pretty
impressive! I do agree though that keeping a bug updated with your
current progress while debugging or preparing a fix is important. It keeps
anyone interested up to speed, allows anyone who may recognise the symptoms
of the bug to jump in at any point and offer help, and also lets others
see that there is still activity on that bug, so they do not duplicate
effort
trying to solve it themselves.
Regards,
Oliver
