Package: general Version: 20000816 Severity: wishlist Hi,
Debian has for years maintained an excellent bug tracking system. What I am missing is a praise tracking system. It would operate similarly to the b.t.s.; users could: - send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] to have their recognition for a debian package registered and forwarded to the maintainer involved. - visit <http://praise.debian.org/package> to inspect appraisals submitted for "package". - use a command-line tool /usr/bin/praise to facilitate the process of giving praise to debian packages. - send acknowledgements and append their own success stories to active appraisals in the a.t.s. to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and change various praise control fields. Cheers, Joost PS: I was really just reading /usr/bin/bug, trying to figure out how to submit bugs in helixcode to their b.t.s. Then I found the pieces of code that handle /usr/share/bug/* customization files to be included by debian packages. This is really nice work, and I felt like telling so the bug maintainer. Then I figured that while there is an excellent infrastructure for bug tracking, there is no such thing whatsoever for praise tracking. -- System Information Debian Release: woody Kernel Version: Linux calypso 2.2.14 #1 Fri Jan 7 20:24:30 CET 2000 i586 unknown
