Hi Michael, There are two newsgroups that mirrors tracker discussion and state change of the request: jetbrains.intellij.tracker.idea.bugs and jetbrains.intellij.tracker.idea.features.
You can use them also to replay and your message will be visible in web interface ( tracker and forums). I can say that current state of ITN is pretty "newsgroup friendly", only thing that changed is that newsgroup is splitted to the two parts: jetbrains.intellij.eap.bugs - general discussion about bugs ( i.e. is this bug ? ) jetbrains.intellij.tracker.idea.bugs - discussion threaded strictly by bugs issues , and of course change is also that a bug must be submitted by tracker. Please post all your ideas/feedback about ITN to the newsgroup jetbrains.intellij.itn. -- Best regards, Tibor Mlynarik JetBrains, Inc / IntelliJ Software http://www.intellij.com "Develop with pleasure!"
