bac: Saying 'few' is probably an inaccurate assumption. I imagine the number of private bugs will be 'very, very many' for OEM people. sinzui: No, few is correct, the context is not. The private context will of course be all private. A private context bug is not shared between pillars. So public contexts for bugs are the often the whole bugcollection, like searching bugs.launchpad.net or launchpadAPI.bugs.search() > Private items will be displayed differently in listings to indicate that they > are private to the user.

Colour was suggested, but making something different as we have done failed. Different is not enough. Users need to see the words private in may places, such as a band along the edges of the page or a watermark. -- __Curtis C. Hovey_________ http://launchpad.net/
