Hey Sergey, Not a bad idea. We should definitely track more tasks as bug reports to help us stay organized and accountable.
Might I suggest using "fixme" as a tag instead. It's a lot easier to type and harder to misspell :p Best Regards, Daniel Foré El jul 4, 2012, a las 10:32 a.m., Сергей Давыдов <shnat...@gmail.com> escribió: > Hey guys, > > Since we're getting closer to release, we'll inevitably end up cutting > back on some architectural improvements, use some temporary hackish > solutions or just don't merge some invasive fixes because it's too > late in the cycle.
