I'm just in general not a big fan of the bug tracker. I've got a bunch o= f=20 bugs that I can choose from at any time without having to go through some= web=20 form that requires me to log in and wait for slow queries. It doesn't gi= ve=20 *me* anything. It is in some ways counter-productive. People expect putting a report in= =20 there to have an effect, but it's actually less interactive than email, h= arder=20 to get correct details (like half the reports are from Nobody, for instan= ce),=20 harder to find out the real problem. I actually think it should be disabled, destroyed, dismembered. Keith |
