Realise, of course, that this puts the burden on the Pharo developers to trawl through mail. That means they have less time to work on fixing bugs. The more work you do - reporting the issue in the designated tracker, describing the problem precisely, etc. - that YOU do means the faster THEY can solve your problem. I fully expect with _any_ software that I "use" to be told "please use the official bugtracker". frank > And yes, this distinction between Pharo user and developer is necessary > part of Pharo becoming more professional and business friendly. > > Best regards > Janko > >> >> Here is a link: >> >> http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/list >> >> It's much better than talking. >> >> Marcus >> >> >> -- >> Marcus Denker -- http://marcusdenker.de >> >> >> > > -- > Janko Mivšek > Aida/Web > Smalltalk Web Application Server > http://www.aidaweb.si >
