Help needed: old issues issue tracker entries

Hi,

The issue tracker has 658 open issues. This number is more or less constant.

We are fixing and integrating *a lot*, alone the last 7 days we managed to close 89
issue tracker entries. But the older entries see not much work. Of course one reason
is that everything fixable gets fixed and only hard cases remain… but cases can be
“difficult” for many reasons.

I would be nice if everyone could help and have a look at older issues:

-> Still relevant?
-> Maybe already fixed?
-> Is the description good?
-> What is the next action that needs to be done?

And keep in mind that the issue tracker is not a TODO list. If you see something odd
and put and issue “oh, this looks odd” but there is no action for a year, does it really
make sense to keep that issue open?

Every open issue takes energy away from the others. So please check if issues make
sense of this kind:

-> “It would be nice if” but not even important enough for the submitter to do
-> TODO issues that are huge projects in themselves
-> ….

It would be nice if *you* would check the issue that you have been involved with the
last months and see what is needed to solve them.

Down to 638. Can *YOU* help to get it to 637?

Thanks a lot, Marcus for this encouragements!

"We cannot reach the flow of things unless we let go."

The over 600 number looks scary sometimes.. but just by doing one after the other, we
it is actually doable.

The proof is that we closed 1587 already for Pharo5… and for Pharo all versions we
are at 14295 issues “done”. 638 looks small compared to that.
