Or maybe the first link is wrong, and it is not the tool that is the reason of the drop... Mark Shuttleworth is pursuing an agenda, and his blog is all about pushing his agenda.
In case of launchpad, the agenda is that everybody should use it and drop whatever else they are using. In light of that, it is no surprise that he would take such a graph and show to the world how launchpad is efficient, even if the reallity is different and the inkscape team just cleaned up their bug database. Which is something they could have done in their previous bug reporting tool, but in my experience, such cleaning happen when there is a big momentum in the community such as a new release or a new tool. -- Cyrille Berger Skott _______________________________________________ CREATE mailing list CREATE@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/create
