If you want to do that, read http://bugs.mandrakelinux.com/faq.php first... that kinda defines what is a bug, "rules of good reporting", etc. Feel free to flush it out and put it on the wiki. Using Anthill is pretty simple... it was designed to be easy to use and easy to administer. Should be lots faster than bugzilla as well. Bug monitors are definitely wanted. And, as I indicated in another message, those who go in there and really attempt to help solve reports (either by submitting fixes/patches, indicating that a bug isn't really a bug, etc.) will likely get elevated (if they wish) to be able to close bugs themselves. Right now, activity is pretty light... there's just been one real bug report so far. > Vincent, Please, if you need help ask. There are enough of us out of > work that time is available. (grin) Thanks, James... I will definitely keep this in mind. -- MandrakeSoft Security; http://www.mandrakesecure.net/ Online Security Resource Book; http://linsec.ca/ "lynx -source http://linsec.ca/vdanen.asc | gpg --import" {FE6F2AFD : 88D8 0D23 8D4B 3407 5BD7 66F9 2043 D0E5 FE6F 2AFD}
