This is a working group focusing on triage for issues on Drupal.org. Triage is the activity of categorizing, updating and adding information to issues so developers know where their efforts are most needed. This group maintains guidelines for managing the issue queue, suggests targets for bug hunters, and connects people who are helping Drupal developers by doing triage.
As of December 2006, there are 1500 active issues in core and almost 10000 total active issues, giving the false impression that Drupal is buggy, unreliable and unresponsive. Join the ITWG to help counteract this!
Triage on d.o
Been thinking about ways of getting triage happening on d.o, http://drupal.org/node/1300994 could use some input from people here. It's just an initial suggestion, definitely open to alternative solutions

Move all core Drupal files into /core folder
On November 1, 2011, all Drupal 8.x core files will be moved into a /core folder. This will break nearly every patch in the 8.x queue, requiring them at least to be re-rolled against the updated directory structure.
After that date, backporting 8.x patches to 7.x will no longer be trivial.
Dries announced in #22336-254:

We added a page about triage to d.o
Last week @ dutch developers days we discussed http://live.gnome.org/Bugsquad/TriageGuide and did some closing of issues on the views issue queue.
This all resulted in Bugsquad / Triage - Mitigating the developers pain and later found out about this group :)
We thought it would be wise to run a session at DrupalCon CPH. It that wise to do?

Last updated by discursives on Tue, 2010-06-29 14:09
Interested in doing some triage? Here's some places to look for guidance as you get started.
These resources are for helping you make decisions when you are:
*Responding to issues
*Changing the status of issues
*Attempting to close issues
Some of the reasons you might want to do this include:
*Many issues in the queue for a module that are going unanswered
*Desire to help out with a module or with the project in general
*Give a little back
When you go ahead with your triage, come back to this group and share your notes!
*Existing documents

My name is Matthew Pare and I'm a Co-Chair for the "Community and Core" track for Drupalcon Boston 2008. Over the last couple of weeks we have been planning and brainstorming to make Drupalcon Boston 2008 the best Drupalcon to date! One of our recommended track session topics is "Code Review" and since your viewing this post on the Issue Triage group I thought you would be excellent candidates for submitting sessions on the topic.
Read morex.y.z is no longer an issue target in Drupal 5.0
This message is cross-posted to the "issue tracking and software releases" group because of the 5.0 functionality that prompted me to write it,, but is primarily intended for the Issue Triage group. Perhaps I'm only groping for a larger audience -)
Now that Drupal.org is running 5.0 RC2 / HEAD, project.module has seen some great changes - among them is that "x.y.z" is no longer accepted as a version for issues.

As it says in the group description:

... "ITWG" being the Issue Triage Working Group (copying the IETF is lame? yes). This is not a group for the developers who squash bugs; this is a group for the obsessive-compulsive types who don't want to contribute patches, but would like to help manage the issue queue. No one seems to be doing this at the moment, but it's a job that needs doing.
