Other Project Pages for Users

The project list page

The site home page at https://bugs.chromium.org/ shows a list of projects that we host on the site. Each project row shows the project name, summary, your role in the project, and how long it has been since the last activity in that project.

The project menu

When you are in a project, the name of the project is shown in the upper-left of each page. Clicking on that name opens a menu that lists all the projects where you have a membership or that you have starred. You can easily navigate between projects by selecting a different project from that menu.

The project people page

When you are in a project, there is a gear menu located just to the right of the issue search box. Selecting People from that menu takes you to the project people list.

The project people list page lists all the members of the current project, along with their roles, extra permissions, and any notes. As a user, you can refer to this list to learn who is involved in the project so that you can involve them in issues or contact them via email. As with all pages on the site, project members see the email addresses of other users, and non-members will only see the email addresses of other users who have opted into sharing that information.

Project owners use this page to add and remove project members.

The development process pages

When you are in a project, there is a gear menu located just to the right of the issue search box. Selecting Development process from that menu takes you to the project introduction page.

The project introduction page has a short textual description of the goal of the project. And, most projects have a link to the source code location for the software being developed.

The tabs across the top of the page allow you to navigate to pages that show many more details of the software development process. These pages are accessible to all users who can view the project. The purpose of these pages is to help all users participate in the project productively, which requires that they know the meaning of the fields and values being used.

The development process tabs are:

  • Statuses: Lists open and closed issue statuses

  • Labels and fields: Lists issue labels and custom field definitions

  • Templates: Lists templates used to create new issues

  • Components: Lists software components being developed

  • Views: Shows default options for the issue list and grid pages, and any saved queries

The project history page

When you are in a project, there is a gear menu located just to the right of the issue search box. Selecting History from that menu takes you to the project history page.

The project history page shows a list of recent changes to issues in a project. You can click to expand each row to see the details of an individual change. The list only includes items for issues that you are currently allowed to view.
