What is the story on Tracker in SourceForge and FreeDOS Bugzilla as far as keeping status and feedback up-to-date? I'm not asking this to point at a person, annoy anyone, dump more work on a hapless soul, or even to get auto-volunteered for the task by bringing up the topic, but I think it is a legitimate question.
While idly browsing FreeDOS sites, I see that Tracker in SourceForge has development requests going back to 2001. Several requests have since come to fruition without any notice or follow-ups there. Can (or should) the Tracker tab be turned off so people don't assume that posted remarks are providing useful feedback, or minimally, titled with an announcement about Tracker not being supported? Of more general interest, I see a number of old open or assigned items in Bugzilla which have been fixed or addressed since the original entry and follow-ups. Additionally, there are closed items which have an updated status. There is recent traffic on other Bugzilla items, of course. But, is there a cleanup and reassignment protocol to address the old development issues? It looks like needs a thorough spring-cleaning, particularly with the 1.0 release goal in sight. I realize this could be a touchy topic, but since FreeDOS has the sites available and publicly linked, it is a good idea to keep them semi-regularly updated. In my opinion, doing so encourages more and better feedback directly going to the bottom line of FreeDOS's stability and usefulness. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Oracle 10g Get certified on the hottest thing ever to hit the market...
