Thanks! (-: I'm going to need as much help as I can get in making the site useful. I think the above is a start, but I wonder: wouldn't it be nice to be able to try assigning these "bitesize" bugs to people on a trial basis? If they succeed, cool, and if not, a time counter would automatically un-assign the person. That way you can use them to test out new people, and if things work out, great.

I guess I will go through each of the components sometime soon and add a query to GNOME Bugzilla looking for documentation bugs. https://openhatch.org/bugs/issue70 -- Asheesh. -- Big book, big bore. -- Callimachus _______________________________________________ gnome-love mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-love
