That makes that idea fairly difficult to implement in the short term. So far we have the list of apps being tracked on the right hand column, and add/submit link and the actual feeds. You suggested an extension that allows tickets to be tracked cross app but I think that is a lot of effort for minimal gain at this point as there isn't yet a huge user base for the tracker portal. I think it would be useful for the idea if we could bring out the user contribution side a little more before building code to handle cross app bug tracking. Maybe a few links to add a new ticket, join the project and donate if the project has that facility that could be displayed next to each project and/or item in each feed? -- Patrick Shirkey Boost Hardware Ltd. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list Linux-audio-dev@lists.linuxaudio.org http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
