I still don't see how writing such a webservice + figuring out how to use it is simpler than just dumping your user log and copy/pasting the entries with a little bit of formatting cleanup.
It never took me more than an hour, tops, for hundreds of commits in a given release! I don't understand how a ReactOS developer, which (at least I fucking hope so) probably spends 6 hours debugging an issue by looking at prints, stepping through code, and finally discovering the race condition (the most BORING work ever) at least once a week, can't afford doing one hour of boring work every 6 months?! Just how lazy are you... On 2009-12-15, at 12:24 PM, Ged Murphy wrote: > I definitely like this idea.
