Heh, not really -- just pointing, once again, to the issue tracker spec <https://dev.launchpad.net/IssueTracker>, and bugs like "Fix Committed/Released distinction is inconsistent and unproductive" <http://launchpad.net/bugs/163694> and "Series, releases, and milestones overlap confusingly" <http://launchpad.net/bugs/174468>. There are a few silly terminology errors in Launchpad. (For example, a bug report can be years old and still labelled "New" -- that one's extra grating because it's a regression.) But most of the understandability problems are because *Launchpad* is needlessly complex. And it's dragging Bazaar down with it. - -- Matthew Paul Thomas http://mpt.net.nz/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkvImeIACgkQ6PUxNfU6ecr9+QCeMAd5688knEaroitnfqXQ34o3 Z5gAni8vsAUeJpblgWOw0aW6ZKvGnUNX =aOhS -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
