I highly doubt this will happen, mainly because the flagship user of bugzilla is Mozilla, a web browser company with deep investments in HTML5, CSS and JS. Their community probably wouldn't be very receptive either.
>From a personal perspective, I don't think it is a good idea either - Flash UIs generally aren't good at conveying large amounts of information. Those that are basically replicate HTML UIs, which defeats the purpose. What I'd like to see is Flash being used for visualisations of bug histories, bugs in components, bug response time statistics etc. Of course, Mozilla will likely lean to SVG/JS for that, but nevertheless, that is an area where using Flash would be appropriate. 2009/6/19 Brad Bueche <[email protected]>: > > > I've been reading up on Bugzilla and it is frequently mentioned that its UI > is not the most intuitive or easy to use in the world. > > Well if one needs an improved UI experience, is not FB the answer!?
