RE: [office] office-comment -> JIRA migration

Sounds good about the numbering.

I am logged in (my name is at the top of the view).

1. Looking at <http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE-4> the one I
created yesterday, I see only Open Issue and Close Issue as available
workflow actions.  Under operations, I have the opportunity to Clone this
issue, Comment on this issue, Create sub-task, and Watch it.

2. Wow, so we are up to 1500 this way.  For something pretty amusing, go to
the end of the No Component list (it is the 8th page of all of them) and
notice a sorting aberration in JIRA.  OFFICE-2 comes after OFFICE-1499.
Heh.  Hmm, when I resort by the key that doesn't happen.  Not sure it is me
or JIRA's default view.  Will keep watching.

3. I see that I can make sub-tasks of issues I didn't originate (such as
OFFICE-1497) and I can comment, but I can't do anything about Components and
Effected Versions.  I think a sub-task will let me though.  So I have put my
recommendation at
<http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office/200904/msg00084.html> into a
sub-task.  But I will do it on Alex Brown's OFFICE-1493 and then see if I
can close OFFICE-1497.  This is not necessarily the best way to handle this,
but it seems to be the only way those other than the officers can provide
additional information on these.

4. In retrospect, it looks like I should have made 3 subtasks, one each for
ODF 1.0, ODF 1.1, and 1.2, so they could be closed separately.  Bummer.
(What I ended up with instead is OFFICE-1501.)

Thoughts?

PS: On the version of the form I see, it does say "sub-task" everywhere.

Thanks for pointing out the reverse order thing.  That is the order they 
show up in the mailing list archives.  But is probably more useful for us 
to enter them in chronological order, so I'll reverse them before 
importing.

Yes, there is an "Edit this issue" link under "Operations" on the left of 
the issue details screen.  Do you see that?  Or is it only available to TC 
Chairs?  Make sure you are logged in.

They call it a "subtask".  I can see an action for that, directly above 
"Edit this issue".
