yes, reply-to would be great. this would be a lot of change - too much change even for me at this point. we'd need to evaluate alternative bug trackers and select one (relatively easy). then we'd need to migrate the currently open bugs there - there are currently 134 open bug reports. Doing this properly would eat up a lot of time. I've recently cleaned up the enblend tracker (the support tracker was abused as a bug tracker) and just going through 14 reports and properly testing them again, communicate with the reporters, etc. ... that was a good afternoon). Last but not least, we'd need to point the user in the direction of the new tracker. So bottom line: I suggest we stay with the existing bug tracker and with a single notification list, as a quick fix compromise. We can look at bolder moves after the new development/release process is stabilized; the new code in the development branches has been integrated. > I would of course subscribe to -dev, and read it.

Are you tired by the low level tech talk here? sounds like consenting silence to me. expect more dev-talk on hugin-PTX. I would like to see users stepping up art-talk - I really liked the "Then and Now" thread, and the only reason I did not chime in is because... *blush*... when I did this kind of work I did not use Hugin :( http://www.shalomquebec.org/important_en.aspx?idx=1 so users, please step up art-talk too. I'd like to see what you're using Hugin for!
