Hi Dave -

I brought this up to Danek offline, but I didn't realize there were
so many administrators for this bugzilla instance, so I guess I should
mention it on the alias.

I was under the impression that we were going to try to keep bugster &
bugzilla in sync for product "solaris" for now (I realize darren's request
was for a different product, so it's not really relevant now, but made
me think it was worth discussing before we had a more specific request).

We want to keep these in sync right now for two reasons: ease of
migration, and right now we are proposing using bugster as an
annotation database for bugzilla (ie somewhere to store customer
records, confidential information, and information about older releases).
(If we decide later to go with something else, then obviously the
need to keep in sync goes away - but if we diverge now, it will
be harder later on if we do want to use it as an annotation database).

That being he case, we should come up with some sort of guidelines for
administrators to make sure these databases do keep in sync for the time
being.  For example, only adding things under product solaris to
bugzilla that have already been added to bugster.

As far as making new "products" for development things, I would also
advise that the maintainers come up with a policy for that.  Consistency
now will help you in the long term.  I'd be happy to tell you how
we handle this for bugster, but I think as long as you come up with
something all administrators agree on, I think it'll be fine.

Valerie
