I actually had tried that in my first version, but I felt it made it seem like the list was exhaustive. Once (if?) we start getting lots of the same bug report, it would be worth highlighting the common reports. Or hopefully I can just get Flash working before too many people notice. :) On Fri, May 8, 2009 at 9:01 AM, Mohamed Mansour wrote: > Hello, maybe include " No work has been done on performance yet, much of the > UI is missing, plugins don't work, and many more bugs remain." as bulleted > points, many people ask questions such as why flash doesn't work etc. It > would be nice to place small bulleted points there since it grabs attention. > -- Mohamed Mansour > > > On Fri, May 8, 2009 at 11:26 AM, Evan Martin wrote: >> >> On Thu, May 7, 2009 at 9:30 PM, Evan Stade wrote: >> > I think it's time to reword this, as users filing bugs has already >> > proven helpful (to me anyway).

Hello, maybe include " No work has been done on performance yet, much of the UI is missing, plugins don't work, and many more bugs remain." as bulleted points, many people ask questions such as why flash doesn't work etc. It would be nice to place small bulleted points there since it grabs attention. -- Mohamed Mansour On Fri, May 8, 2009 at 11:26 AM, Evan Martin wrote: > > On Thu, May 7, 2009 at 9:30 PM, Evan Stade wrote: > > I think it's time to reword this, as users filing bugs has already > > proven helpful (to me anyway).

I agree. I got our administrators to add a new bug template for "Bug on Linux" that sets the appropriate OS: flag so it'll be easier to triage them separately. How does http://codereview.chromium.org/113148 look? > Of course if people completely ignore this splash page (which they > seem to do) I guess it's a moot point.
