tracking-b2g Flag

Definition

• The teams need such a bucket to track backlog items apart from blocking-b2g and feature-b2g.
• Attributes, sorted in priority
  • tracking-b2g:+ is the TopX item in the backlog
  • tracking-b2g:backlog is the regular backlog item
  • tracking-b2g:--- (default flag. indicating undefined)
  • tracking-b2g:- (lowest priority)

Note

• Permission? Everyone in the team should be able to set such flag. We're encouraging the backlog grooming to happen frequently and can be presented by using tracking-b2g flag.
• We don't specify version# because supposedly these are neither release blockers nor feature blockers.

ux-b2g Flag

Definition

• Bulleted list item

Marks UX bugs required for a front-end feature (usually OS-wide) to work properly.

• Bulleted list item

Distinguishes polish and non-blocking UX bugs from blocking UX bugs.

Rationale and History

The ux-b2g flag was created during the 2.0 release, which was a "UX heavy release:" 2.0 included a lot of UX changes to gestures, animations, the home screen, and so on. This meant that there were numerous OS-wide features -- like the thin, pale blue notifications bar, for example -- that needed to block 2.0+, and that required many UX bugs to be completed (graphics, transitions, animations). Each of these UX bugs needed to block 2.0+ if the finished, front-end feature was to look and behave properly across the OS. The ux-b2g flag was added when these "smaller" bugs were incorrectly marked as "polish," and were actually needed in order for a feature to work.

Note Only members of the Firefox OS UX team and Release Management should set the ux-b2g flag.
