## Triaging Tickets ##
***FIXME*** this section needs some work!
When a ticket comes in it should be triaged. This means it should be classified by adding labels and placed into a milestone. Quite a lot of tickets need a bit of back and forth to determine whether it is a valid ticket so tickets may remain without labels or milestone for a while.
When a ticket comes in it should be triaged. This means it should be classified into a bug or an enhancement or a request for support.
Rclone uses the labels like this:
Quite a lot of tickets need a bit of back and forth to determine whether it is a valid ticket.
* `bug` - a definite verified bug
* `can't reproduce` - a problem which we can't reproduce
* `doc fix` - a bug in the documentation - if users need help understanding the docs add this label
* `duplicate` - normally close these and ask the user to subscribe to the original
* `enhancement: new remote` - a new rclone backend
* `enhancement` - a new feature
* `FUSE` - do do with `rclone mount` command
* `good first issue` - mark these if you find a small self contained issue - these get shown to new visitors to the project
* `help` wanted - mark these if you find a self contained issue - these get shown to new visitors to the project
* `IMPORTANT` - note to maintainers not to forget to fix this for the release
* `maintenance` - internal enhancement, code re-organisation etc
* `Needs Go 1.XX` - waiting for that version of Go to be released
* `question` - not a `bug` or `enhancement` - direct to the forum for next time
* `Remote: XXX` - which rclone backend this affects
* `thinking` - not decided on the course of action yet
If it turns out to be a bug or an enhancement it should be tagged as such, with the appropriate other tags. Don't forget the "quickie" tag to give new contributors something easy to do to get going.

When a ticket is tagged it should be added to a milestone, either the next release, the one after, Soon or Unplanned. Bugs can be added to the "Known Bugs" milestone if they aren't planned to be fixed or need to wait for something (eg the next go release).

***FIXME*** I don't think I've quite got the milestone thing sorted yet. I was wondering about classifying them into priority, or what?
The milestones have these meanings:
* v1.XX - stuff we would like to fit into this release
* v1.XX+1 - stuff we are leaving until the next release
* Soon - stuff we think is a good idea - waiting to be scheduled to a release
* Help wanted - blue sky stuff that might get moved up, or someone could help with
* Known bugs - bugs waiting on external factors or we aren't going to fix for the moment
Tickets [with no milestone](https://github.com/ncw/rclone/issues?utf8=✓&q=is%3Aissue%20is%3Aopen%20no%3Amile) are good candidates for ones that have slipped between the gaps and need following up.

Follow the instructions in RELEASE.md for making the release. Note that the testing part is the most time consuming often needing several rounds of test and fix depending on exactly how many new features rclone has gained.
## Mailing list ##
There is now an invite only mailing list for rclone developers `rclone-dev` on google groups.
## TODO ##
I should probably make a mailing list for maintainers or at least an rclone-dev list, and I should probably make a dev@rclone.org to register with cloud providers.
