I don't think adding additional fields will add burden for two reasons: - this information is going to be easily shared between developers - developer can have a better understanding of the whole situation, because they can trust these field. > So, what do you think of just adding some sort of different display to > comments or to ticket changes made by members of the core team?

But still, for reporting, "core devs" fields look better to me. Having both fields and "featured comments" would be perfect. As I side note, I've switched from Trac to Redmine for my current project, and it is *so* much easier to administer, there's *so* less noise in tickets, and out of the box isn't a PITA as Trac is. I'm extremely happy with it and I highly suggest to have a look at it (it's ruby though, so we may be a little bit limited in terms of hacking on it). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
