I guess the usefulness of something like this deepens on how we
view the
WebKit bugzilla. Is it for developers only? For users of WebKit API
(C,ObjC,GTK,Qt). For advanced users of browsers/products that use
WebKit
(where the user knows the bug is a WebKit bug)?
Let me rephrase Tor Arne's question: Is it a goal of the project that
bugs.webkit.org can be used directly for the products resulting from
the
WebKit code base, or is bugs.webkit.org always meant to be a second-
line
tracker behind a product specific external system?
A lot of WebKit testing happens through the efforts of volunteer
testers who are not necessarily developers. For example, I know a lot
of people running Mac or Windows nightlies are basically what we'd
think of as "power users". I think bugs.webkit.org should be designed
to make it easy for such people to enter good bug reports (without
making it annoying for experienced bug filers). On top of that, even
many experienced programmers may not know the right info to put into a
browser bug.
So yes, I think we should have guidance of some form.

Maciej
