i forgot alien dalvik, and HERE maps, hw driver adaptations, (such 3rd party closed stuff) people would feel comfortable about their bugs, if they can list it... the bugs i mentioned that could be opened are actually the ones that community itself could fix (or devs). like missing apps or a bug for some app that someone committed as open source... and definately have enough categories (like the above) perhaps instead of stating that bugtracker doesn't work, think about why it didn't work? iinm the way people work under Sailfish is very different from how Nokia worked... but if it's lack of resources to triage it, for instance, i'm sure considering the openness of this, that alot of people would want to help out and triage bugs in a community bugtracker... personally, i liked to have this devel mailing list, to be specific for devs (and for getting help (so that we can fix some things ourselves)) and not really for reporting bugs. Maarten (aka AL13N) PS: i'm stating this here, even though i'm sure alot of you already heard my pov on IRC, just for the record... :-) _______________________________________________ SailfishOS.org Devel mailing list
