Bugzilla is (I think) an open source program for tracking bug reporting and resolution, but (again I just think) it is more generally useful for similar tasks.
Hopefully, one of the developers will steer you to that system. (I believe there is information at the Dia web interface) You are being very helpful, but if you integrate with the regular development system you can see what enhancements are in the system (not just bugs), see their progress, participate in the discussion about them, etc. On Tue, Oct 1, 2013 at 12:48 PM, Bao Niu <[email protected]> wrote: > Thank you very much, I will check bugzulla out, I didn't even know about > it.
