No. There are certainly de facto standards as most bug tracking systems share many status names. And there are a lot of other bug tracking systems, luckily ^^
IMHO we should just put a little thought into the status names to not sound rude when it shouldn't (WONTFIX is the perfect example of something that sounds really rude ("go eff yourself", kinda), at least to those who aren't used to bugzilla and the processes, or understanding how the bugs are triaged and worked on, which, afaics, is not all that transparent.
Agreed. Although I don't think its merely the word itself that always comes out rude. Its the comments. Seeing WONTFIX naturally makes me curious to find the reasoning behind it and when I scroll down to the comments, that's usually where the real "rudeness" comes into play. :-)
But as Jim wrote, let's not get stuck on details right now.
Agreed. That's why I was hoping there might be some formal reference we could look at instead of bogging ourselves down in minutiae of wording. But since there isn't, my intention is moot. :-) Bryen
