Hey guys, I can think of lots more interesting things to flame each other
with. The wiki is being cared for, and we have a plan we are working
towards. Please be patient and we'll get there. On the topic of the bug
tracking system: Pete, my advice is that you listen for the nuggets of
advice that have been laid down here, maybe they haven't been expressed in
very artful ways, but there is advice buried in the flames. Listen for what
is really being said, not necessarily the words or the tone. My take is
that we are advising you to work hard to keep the bug tracking system clean
of cruft. There is a tipping point that once the system has more cruft and
noise than useful bug reports, it loses it's effectiveness. If this is your
baby, presumably you would want to work hard to protect it and make it as
useful as possible. If the bug tracking system turns into a repository for
everyone's frustrated rants combined with every new user's personal
sys-admin issues, combined with all sorts of weird stuff that no one can
produce, combined with 100's of bugs filed against previous versions,
combined with feature requests and opinions, then the whole thing can
collapse under it's own weight.
Regards,
Curt.
