Hi John, > i have added the tab within pre element bug to bugzilla .... Great. :-) Whenever a bug is first reported in a mailing list and later "moved" to a bug tracker (or the way around), it's generally useful to provide a link which helps navigating from one to the other (usually the "URL" field, in the bug report). In this case, it's bug 8434 [1]. ;-) > do you want me to add other four into that list > from now on, new bugs will go straight to bugzilla... I guess the Amaya team should be the one choosing either the mailing list or bug tracker as preference. Personally, I prefer the bug tracker, with it's more precise life cycle [2], metadata and more precise search abilities but, as it's hard for most users to distinguish a bug report from a support request, the mailing list is many times a good way of providing a first triaging of the problem and, after it's agreed that it's not a misconfiguration or misunderstanding, a bug is then isolated. But I'd say a bug tracker is great for whoever is able to report bugs properly [3]... :-) > it is actually pretty easy to use and probably works > best for the workers who have to muddle thru our discoveries > and find suitable repairs...... Yeah, I'd say a bug tracker is more fit to a developer's process. Again, I guess the Amaya team should state which is their preference... > ta from niagara canada Cheers from Portugal, Helder [1] http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=8434 [2] http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/tip/en/html/lifecycle.html [3] http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html
