Great - I re-ordered the page to put the big bug query at the bottom;
added some more moderate comment on the 3.5 MAB list - and added the
list of fixed hardhacks with credits - to show what we've been up to.

 and this mac one is annoying me :) I think we should have a policy
 that if the hard hack isn't accepted by a developer within 1 month, we
 should move it either a) back to proposed or b) to a new category of
 need a volunteer, currently pending or some other such status.

Makes some sense.

  I think the idea of hard hacks should be fast paced, where users can
 expect if the bug is on the list, it's going to get fixed. Otherwise
 it has the potential of sitting on the list for much too long and just
 cluttering an otherwise really stream lined process.

Heh - for sure; we currently need some love on impress - quite possibly
the several undo bugs there are actually related.

It might be worth having a lapsed hard-hacks section; if no-one picks
it up after a couple of weeks, we should perhaps put them there - I
guess.

ATB,

Michael.

Any thoughts?
