I'm not sure if that's a compliment or not. :) Bugzilla is for technical discussions of a well-defined request, and comments that help investigating and finding a fix for a bug are very welcome! However, "I want this too!" comments or high level / meta discussions, for example what the Wikimedia Foundation as a whole should do or should not do, are not welcome as it's simply the wrong place. I am interested in keeping the amount of bugmail low which does not deal directly with the topic of a bug report - I've worked in free and open source projects where developers ignored bugmail because "user comments are too noisy and often off-topic". That would help nobody. I consider mailing lists and wikiforums more adequate for high level / meta discussions on strategy or direction, and I'm pretty sad to hear that you feel ignored in those places. andre -- Andre Klapper | Wikimedia Bugwrangler http://blogs.gnome.org/aklapper/ _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
