After writing that, in bug 888756 I looked at the query logs and saw only 1% of requests for bug lists are for anything other than the first page. Of course what conclusions you ought to draw is another question. > The number of times a bug *page* is requested sounds like another good > source to establish which bugs are the most interesting ones. > > Reading your mail made me realize I very often want to reload a bug page > mentioned recently (days/weeks) and my browser history reflects only > *my* usage (sometimes people are talking about bugs I've never visited > yet).

I think the recently-touched bugs are probably the most interesting and that would in many contexts be a good default sort order, which would handle the "I recently touched it" or "someone recently updated it" cases. Counting how many times a page has been read would be interesting. Maybe architecturally a bit nontrivial as it requires writing something from an otherwise readonly request; on the other hand it doesn't have to be 100% precise or up to date so there may be options. Stackexchange use this to identify interesting questions. -- Martin _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev Post to : launchpad-dev@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
