Each bug has a free-form single line text entry box for adding tags and status information. This wiki page is dedicated to collect a comprehensive list of whiteboard tags used in the Mozilla project.

Contributor mentoring

For more information, see Mentors.

  • [good first bug]: Indicate this is a good first bug for new contributors.
  • [lang=]: The programming language involved for this bug.
  • [mentor=]: Mentor of this bug that will help the contributor fixing the issue. Also triggers special headers and body footers in bugmail (see bug 869989)
  • [mentor-lang=]: (human/natural) language other than English the mentor will be able to communicate to the contributor with.

Automated Testing

  • [test disabled]: Indicates an automated test has been disabled. Typically used in bugs filed for intermittent test failures, to indicate that the absence of new failures in the bug is due to the test being disabled - as well as remind module owners that the test needs fixing and re-enabling.

Release Engineering

  • [capacity]: This bug will help increase (or free up) capacity for our automated build & test machines.

Sheriffing

  • [leave open]: This has been deprecated in favour of the 'leave-open' keyword. Used to ensure that the bug updating tool mcMerge does not close the bug when commits referencing it are merged into mozilla-central.

Firefox

(description here)

Firefox OS

  • [POVB]: Part of vendor build; the fix of this bug is not in the Mozilla codebase, but it's in our interest to track it.
  • [priority]: Indicates we are asked by a partner to address this issue with priority.
  • [tarako_only]: Special pref or feature that only lands on branch for Tarako (low memory phone), i.e. 1.3T branch of Gaia and Gecko. To be picked up on future releases.
  • [p=]/[u=]/[c=]/[s=]: See Scrum Development. Firefox OS uses the u= tag as the milestone instead, see Firefox OS Performance Triage

Web Compatibility

Our whiteboard keywords are already described.

Scrum Development

The following flags are used by tools like scrumbu.gs for managing sprints using the scrum development framework:

  • [p=]: A rough estimate from engineer on how long the bug is going to take.
  • [u=]: The user (in the scrum sense) that this story affects
  • [c=]: The component (in the scrum sense) that this story affects
  • [s=]: An explicit sprint slug this bug should belong to.

If you are not managing a product, you probably don't have to set these.

What does this whiteboard keyword mean?

If you know what one of the following whiteboard keywords means, please describe it and put it into one of the above categories above (or create a new one):
