I don't think the pie chart is right for this. Regarding 0 bugs fixed & 0 CVE bugs, I think we should hide them if they are 0. If a bug is fixed elsewhere, that's an exciting event that should prompt swift action, I think we should make the page design reflect that. I don't know much about the CVE workflow (yet!), but I'll wager it's similar. jml _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
