Reading that list I see a few bugs reported against the Harmony code that I know have been fixed since the code was picked up. Therefore : - it's good to hear that the plan is to refresh the Harmony code in Android at some point to get those fixes, - it would be good to redirect some of the bug reports into the Harmony JIRA system so we can help fix them for everyone. > Unfortunately, I don't think there is much visibility — yet! — of the > progress of a bug once it gets into the system.

I'm sure you are going to have some system for routing the bugs back to the originating open source projects Android has included in the stack. In the simplest case opening a bug in the Harmony JIRA system, and creating a reference to it from your own bug tracker, will allow the bug to receive some attention from the large number of core library developers here. I would have no problem with the Andoid advocates responding on the developer list by saying 'go tell the Harmony folk to fix it'. I wouldn't go say that right now myself until you have a means of picking up refreshes since it probably isn't helpful to tell Android developers it is fixed 'over there'. Regards, Tim
