I have been handling it the same way with OLPC-tickets. And people can put themselves in cc when they are interested in a bug.

I interpret being the owner as I'm working on this right now, so if you start working on it we may end up doing duplicated work. That's how I interpret it as well. But then a single Developer field (which would supposedly only take a single value) wouldn't work as other organisations might want to assign one of their developers. In any case, I think Seeta needs to explain what their intention was with this change, and the other organizations that are as well putting people to work on Sugar tickets are also welcome to do the same. +1 on both counts Sascha -- http://sascha.silbe.org/ http://www.infra-silbe.de/ signature.asc Description: PGP signature ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel

[Sugar-devel] changes in trac and others
Hi, have seen that recently some changes have been made to trac outside the normal adding of users and components. I would like to request that when making those changes, that the list was notified, if the change is presumed uncontroversial. If the change has a broader effect (such as adding a field), please ask in sugar-devel first for opinions. A change that I think can be made without asking first is the addition of the 1.0 milestone, but I think we still need to agree on the meaning of moving a ticket to that milestone. The addition of Seeta-specific fields needs to be discussed before, because we have other organizations working together in Sugar Labs and some amount of coordination is needed. Note that mentioning it in #sugar is not enough because not everybody is always present and because the channel is not logged. For other services, please notify the list as well when your changes will affect the other people's work.
