The focus of the developers should be 1.1 of course, but if there is a 
important 1.0 bug I will assign it to one of the developers (including me of 
course). You are free to assign 1.0 bugs to yourself, if you think you can 
fix the problem. 

An assigned bug report (regardless who made the assignement) for 1.0 tickets 
means, that you are allowed to commit your fix (if it's tested and complete) 
without asking for permission again. but please comment this in the ticket, 
with something like: "bugfix commited in revision 1234". Never commit 
something without an assigned ticket.

For every other update please use the mailinglist, especially if it's not for 
fixing a reported bug or if the fix/update is so compex that it might break 
other stuff.

Only exclusion are dangerous security issues in packages or some other part of 
our system. Please don't report them as bugs or on a mailinglist, because 
this can be dangerous for our users as long as there is no fix available. 
After fixing them a new bug report will be opened by me and a new release 
will be prepared. Maybe we should have a freewrt-int-security mailinglist for 
that, where only active developers should be able to read the security bug 
reports at first, so they can work on implementing a patch. It would be 
unwise to just report them to my emailadress, because none of the other 
developers would notice that.

and please don't close 1.0 bugs yourself, even if the bug is fixed or when you 
believe that the user is wrong or something like that. If I want to keep 
track on existing bugs and the release status, then I must be sure to see 
every ticket (and all of their comments). I will close these tickets as soon 
as I have noticed a successfull fix has been commited and a new version has 
been released.

Not closing bugs before the next version has been released helps other users 
with the same problem to find a solution until the next version is available. 
this also should help to avoid having the same ticket over and over again 
from diffrent users.

this are my first thoughts about handling 1.0 in future. feel free to comment 
on this. if there is something that you think should get handled in another 
way, don't hesitate to speak up :)

n8,
 Ralph
