[Sugar-devel] Trac ticket resolution

[James Cameron]

"worksforme" is different in meaning to "fixed", "notabug"
and "wontfix".

a "worksforme" can be translated into a "notabug" only if sufficient
research is done durign an attempt to reproduce.

a "worksforme" can be translated into a "fixed" only if the problem was
actually fixed in code without a bug being opened, and this requires
research.

a "worksforme" can be translated into a "notabug" only if the reviewer
understands what the reporter had difficulty with.

a "worksforme" can be translated into a "duplicate" instead of "fixed"
if the problem was fixed in another bug.

all these require effort.  when available effort is scarce, and priority
or severity are low, then "worksforme" is a useful outcome.

i am in favour of a "worksforme".  we have it on olpc trac.
