i agree that the current list of versions configured on the product www.mozilla.org seems weird, and in need of updating.

:pmac - are you able to provide an updated list, or redirect to someone who can?

We don't really have versions per se, and to my knowledge we don't use the field in BZ. I notice the versions available in the BMO product are simply "Production" and "Development/Staging", and that seems like it would work well for us too. My suggestion is to use that and make "Production" the default if possible. I'm pinging a couple other people here to see if anyone else has a better idea.

There are quite a large amount of bugs for each version that would need to be migrated before we can delete the old versions. Should we create the Production version and move all of the currently RESOLVED bugs tothat version en masse? And for unresolved, move to Development/Staging?

I'm almost positive that we could just move all bugs to "Production". I was thinking the other version would be there mostly for bugs specific to the non-production environments. Give me some time to discuss with the team and I'll get back to you.

my recommendation would be to deactivate versions which are no longer required, and leave any existing bugs using those versions untouched.

Ah yeah. That does sound better and less work ;) +1

+1, but I want to make sure malexis and jbertsch have reviewed this since they own the weekly triage process.

[Jennifer Bertsch [:jbertsch]]

Honestly, I don't use the Version field when triaging bugs and would be fine with deleting it all together.

However, since it looks like the change has already been made, I do see how Production and Development/Staging categories could be helpful.

I agree that Production should be the default if Mike agrees.

Raymond - will this be helpful to you?
