--- Comment #16 from Nate Graham <pointedst...@zoho.com> --- Yes, unifying duplicates is a big job. I've done a lot of bug screening in my time, in Bugzilla as well as others, and I doubt hunting for duplicates can be done by anyone other than a human being. In general, KDE suffers from a lack of what you might call corporate professionalism: we don't have many paid programmers or any paid bug screeners; we don't have project managers to keep projects on task; we don't categorize bugs based on priority; etc. There are certain projects like Plasmashell that are run closer to this model, but a lot of KDE is run like a volunteer organization because, well, that's what it is! My personal opinion is that a bit more discipline would really help us, if we can apply it without making the project un-fun to work on, which would defeat the purpose by repelling volunteers. That's mostly a cultural matter--getting people to screen bugs for projects they work on and use the Priority field--but I think having at least one overall release manager would be hugely beneficial, as that person would have a high level overview of the whole community and could help keep things on track, which ultimately increases the quality of our products and generates more excitement and volunteer contribution. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
