Yep, that seems to be the case. I tried not logging in first and assigning it. That did change the status to assigned, but the assigned-to info still says [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sort of a half change. Maybe that indicates a bug in bugzilla - that I was able to change the status despite having insufficient rights to do so.
I sent an e-mail to the module owner, the peers, and the bug reporter, asking if one of them could assign me to the bug. I notice they all have an e-mail domain of "netscape.com". I wonder how independent of AOL (the owner of Netscape) the development work of Mozilla is (i.e. if bureaucracy and corporate agendas get in the way). I wonder to what extent the open-source community is able to shape the direction and development work of Mozilla, and to what extent AOL does this? Any thoughts about this? (not looking for a theoretical discussion of where the control should be, just curious to find out where the control actually is in practice.) thx again p.s. I'll get some additional design details out soon. -- Matt Coughlin [EMAIL PROTECTED] <remove "sp4mless_" from the e-mail address to reply>
