Another thought : we definitely need a way to proceed rapidlyer, and more easily. To do so, i think the most usefull feature would be a pre-formatted input so that each essential information should be present and checked. Example : release - package - seriousness - category (driver / security / bugfix / ...) Has some tests been made to cope for it ? If yes, which ones Some description of the problem. This is more or less what is already done, but in a more formal way, it would be rapidlyer. Last, one could save its preference (so you don't have to retype everything). Finally two points : - subject must stay clear (no 5 points in one mail) - no discussion about copyleft / GPL or so, many times we trow away these messages because they have nothing to do with the topic of cooker ... - the subject must be used in the good thread (not like mine) And it's tree points :-( I just want to help. No troll here ! Stef
