As long as the developers do track the bugs sent to the mailinglists and relating to their own work themselves, so that the bugs don't get lost, that seems reasonable. I'm just wondering how we could get more newbie-developers involved in the project. The well-involved developers which know enough of the system to implement new features are already pretty busy. Tracking down bugs and submitting bugfix patches could be a good way to get to know the system. However, this requires visibility of the known bugs. Unfortunately, I have no solution for missing reporting discipline on the users' side. Cheers, Ralf ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
