The whole "Hug Day" thing works pretty well for Ubuntu, and getting people to do this kind of spring clean together gives a kind of burst of energy. Like I said, I've already grabbed 2 people who use Wine but have never reported bugs before and I think I've just got a 3rd (my girlfriend :) ). They all seem keen to help out as a one off. Even if they each just check to see if a single bug is still around on current Wine at least it's something. I think it's a good idea. > The one suggestion I would make after reading the wiki page is that I really > don't think it's a good idea to invite ordinary users to ask for bugzilla > permissions after triaging just a couple of bugs. > > -- > Rosanne DiMesio <[email protected]> > > > I don't think that Scott meant how it reads... I think he probably means "if you start to do this regularly, feel free to ask for bugzilla permissions." Luke.
