Hi Thorsten and All,
The use of '&' is indeed an issue for I2ND items, as it contributes to approx 25% of our 'errors' (another approx. 25% comes from using blanks ' '), so treating them automatically would be highly appreciated.
I suggested to Manuel during a mail exchange I had with him a couple of weeks ago, to consider these issues as non-errors, same as you do now with your 'blocked' proposal.
In I2ND we are currently removing the blanks from our items, which is 'only' time consuming and usually involves old tickets. However doing the same for '&' would be a nightmare because this is used everywhere not only in the tickets, but primarily in the name of I2ND wiki pages, up to the catalogue. I really believe that accepting the character in the parsing procedure would be much more efficient.
Another proposal would be to remove from statistics the issues related to tickets closed *and* older than a specified date (e.g. older than the introduction of the new process).

Oggetto: Re: [Fiware-wpl] [Fiware-wpa] backlog management of "your" chapter for recurring tasks on "Tracker"-items
I anyway did a small review of the current set of provided "issues" by manuel (despite that I didn't plan this in the mail before).
Status of analysis: 2013-11-25
Here are the things that are most likely to be automated in "your" chapter.
Apps
TC1 - sprint and release fields
4
--> consistency of story, workitem and bug != open with release and sprint
0
--> consistency of features != open with release and sprint
35
--> consistency of epics with release and sprint
39
Total
Data
9
--> consistency of story, workitem and bug != open with release and sprint
45
--> consistency of features != open with release and sprint
24
--> consistency of epics with release and sprint
78
Total
C4 - Tracker link to the Wiki
73
--> links not needed: Story, WorkItem and Bug on tracker
47
--> links non existing or inconsistent with their reference in tracker
40
--> expected backlog items references (Epic, Feature) but not available in wiki directory (materializing)
0
--> consistent urls but a connection try failed
160
Total
I2ND
C5 - Items' descriptions
0
--> backlog items (Story, WorkItem, Bug) with no description on the tracker
112
--> backlog items (Epic, Feature) whose description is provided on the wiki
112
Total
Security
C5 - Items' descriptions
0
--> backlog items (Story, WorkItem, Bug) with no description on the tracker
66
--> backlog items (Epic, Feature) whose description is provided on the wiki
66

IoT
TC5 - Items' descriptions
0
--> backlog items (Story, WorkItem, Bug) with no description on the tracker
162
--> backlog items (Epic, Feature) whose description is provided on the wiki

Der is an additional amount of ~150 "issues" where actually the script of Manuel has a parser error - as the script is not supporting the "&" signs in tracker/wiki-items, although all the rest of the tool do support this, the wiki does not hold any information that would force the GE providers to NOT use the "&" sign and there is no action planned by Manuel to circumvent this on his level.
I would call these "issues" as blocked, unless we find a solution how to migrate this high amount of "issues"...
So automating at least the items that are listed above is only a click away, but I don't want to force anybody :)
Best,
/Thorsten

Subject: [Fiware-wpa] backlog management of "your" chapter for recurring tasks on "Tracker"-items
Dear colleagues,
as SAP I can offer you support on your particular backlog-tasks and efforts which might be automatable.
Eg. for the apps chapter we migrated a lot of issues (860 issues going down to ~420 issues) with very limited manual effort.
I tried to summarize in the table below what might be effected by this automatism, I won't check your reviews proactively, if you think it might be relevant for your tracker/backlog improvements please check the list below. Please let me know what you think could be automated and I can consider implementing this - although I can't promise resolutions in all cases!
Your task would be to focus on the "larger" portions that need to be fixed (as it requires still some manual work on my side to customize the scripts) and saves more time. If you would have in C1 e.g. only 2 items, then I would kindly refrain from investing time into it :)
Best,
/Thorsten
Things that MIGHT be automated:
C1 - sprint and release fields
--> consistency of features != open with release and sprint
--> consistency of epics with release and sprint
>>>>> Scheduled Stories need to have release and sprint
>>>>> Scheduled Features need to have release, sprint is not needed
>>>>> Scheduled Epics don't need to have either release or sprint
ð I can delete arbitrary fields, if Manuel thinks they are not needed any more and implies this as error
C2 - backlog reference (summary) consistency with its fields
--> items' reference with inconsistent entry type
>>>>> Items whose entry type field is not consistent with the entry slot of the reference
ð I can change e.g. STORY to Story or similar transitions on field level
C5 - Items' descriptions
--> backlog items (Story, WorkItem, Bug) with no description on the tracker
--> backlog items (Epic, Feature) whose description is provided on the wiki
>>>>> Descriptions of Epic and Feature are provided in the wiki, so duplicated here.
>>>>> These descriptions can be removed
ð I can delete arbitrary fields automatically
Things that are hard or NOT possible to automate
C3 - backlog hierarchy
C4 - Tracker link to the Wiki
--> links not needed: Story, WorkItem and Bug on tracker
--> links non existing or inconsistent with their reference in tracker
--> expected backlog items references (Epic, Feature) but not available in wiki directory (materializing)
--> consistent urls but a connection try failed
... and all other things that are NOT listed before :)
