Well, I can't really agree that a standard tab in a public SourceForge project is well hidden. Or that 24 requests in an obviously one-way conversation is a small number. Tracker is one of only two conduits for general feedback about FreeDOS since most less-dedicated users probably won't join a mail-list simply to report a problem. So Tracker should, in my layman's opinion, either be used as a two-way development tool or turned off. Getting people to give problem reports is an ongoing issue. About half of the few people who do report problems on FreeDOS projects I've worked on wait more than a month before remarking something along the line of "hey, three test releases back, things broke". Not terribly efficient to track down the problem then, although I certainly do welcome and applaud any user response far more than the typical nonreport. That's why I'd like to see the feedback conduit of Bugzilla -- and Tracker if it is judged worthy of support -- made more attractive to the casual FreeDOS users. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Oracle 10g Get certified on the hottest thing ever to hit the market...
