Notifications
One of the main communication problems is that people usually don't follow or answer some bugs or trello tasks they are supposed to.
The origin of this problem is just that you don't have the right configuration for notifications in both bugzilla or trello.
Situation 1: Uhm, what message? I didn't get anything
Check bugzilla email preferences and verify that at least you are notified "when someone asks me to set a flag" and "New comments are added ".
Go to Trello settings (https://trello.com/YOURNICKNAME/account) and under "Notifications - Change Notification Email Frequency" check that is NOT set to "Never".
Situation 2: Oh dude, I have 7580 pending bugmails and notifications
Maybe you should review your notification strategy. My recommendation would be:
- Let's be honest, mark the 7580 notifications as read, you are not gonna make it any time soon, let's start from scratch.
- Go to bugzilla component watch settings and remove yourself from places you really don't need to get every single comment or change.
- Now go to bugzilla dashboard and check flags and open bugs that are still assigned to you.
- Take action!
For everyone
As mentors you will be getting a lot of bugmail and notifications, be smart, use email filters to handle these emails out of your inbox and place them into a fancy folder where you just have that, pending notifications. It's never a good idea to let these emails mix with your inbox and turn into noise-mails driving you mad.
