[fossil-users] Anonymous no longer allowed to create new tickets
To report bugs or ask for enhancements in Fossil, please post to this mailing list. Because of noise and test tickets (which by the nature of fossil are permanent) the ability for anonymous users to create new tickets has been disabled. If you have an issue, report it here, and one of the many users with logins will write a new ticket for you, if that is an appropriate thing to do. We have previously implemented a similar policy at SQLite and that seems to be working well. There really needs to be a filter on ticket creation to weed out the (considerable) noise. Perhaps we can figure out a design change in Fossil that makes tickets anonymously-created ephemeral until approved by a registered user -- D.

Perhaps we can figure out a design change in Fossil that makes tickets anonymously-created ephemeral until approved by a registered user I think this is already possible with some fancy Ticket form action and SQLite filtering. Couldn't you just use the default status drop down, and say there is a Submitted one that anonymous users submit to, and then a registered user can move it to Accepted , and the default report for tickets makes sure only those that are Accepted are the ones that the devs care about and try to fix. I actually thought that this was what the status dropdown was for when I first downloaded fossil. Since I just use it for my own projects, I deleted the other options.

We should also do something with the noise already in the system. I can contribute a modest amount of time to that end.

But I'm still unhappy with the concept of anonymous participation per se (up to the point that I contributed self-register, which unfortunately is largely ignored).
