Ah. By less data you didn't mean less issues/bugs but less qualified data fields. Hmm. At least I agree if that means less *required* fields. And the current collector isn't very bad in that, I agree too. The topic could probably go away, and maybe we could also remove some of the options from the classification. (I bet that "issue", "feature", "bug", "bug+solution" would be enough, maybe "feature+solution" but I don't like the "+solution" very much.) >> Didn't we start some discussion a while ago about moving away from them? >> Does someone have this project on his radar still? > > Yawn.

I'm sorry to bore you with that, but I didn't notice that we had a definite outcome of the last discussion. This also goes into what Martijn said the last time: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.zope.zope3/18957/focus=18957 I'd be happy using launchpad too. The last link points to a discussion that didn't have any decision in the end. I wouldn't go as far as abandoning the old collector data. They have an XMLRPC API available for filing bugs, maybe they have a simple import mechanism to get our existing data over. (Ok, so these last sentences might spur two discussions: again the collector issue which we didn't resolve the last time. The second issue: a central place for decisions to look up.) >>> Anyway, wfmc isn't included in and therefore doesn't affect releases. >> K, that's enough for me to ignore the one bug then. ;) You mind if I put >> off the meaningless 'core' label for now so I can manage the bugs a bit >> better? > > I don't know what you mean by "put off".

I meant to say that I wanted to remove the 'core' label from that specific bug to make it stay out of my query for the things we need to tackle for a 3.3.1. PS: I'll start using the importance '3.3 release' as a 'whatever next release in the 3.3 branch is to happen'-marker.
