Foplings, I'm only just beginning to realise how useful bugzilla is, in spite of having watched numerous mozilla bugs over a long period. I can see it complementing the dev list very nicely, both for bug fixing and some redesign work. The beauty of it is that it provides a focus for discussions on particular issues, and lets the relationships and dependencies between issues be directly specified.
A simple example of its usefulness would be the changes to the Xalan1 dependencies in the build. The procedure would be to initiate discussion on fop-dev, and it the feeling is to go ahead, raise a RFE in bugzilla. Then whenever anything is done in connection with the change, note it in bugzilla. All of the bugzilla FOP activity echos in fop-dev, so everyone can see what is happening, and join in on bugzilla with any direct comments. That way all of the discussion about a particular topic can be found in the one place, without having to trawl through the mail archives to follow the argument. (Anyone who is lurking on fop-dev and wants to make a comment could do it on the list anyway. If he wants to get more involved, a bugzilla login is a minute away.) ?? Peter -- Peter B.
