I'm +1 on removing the special casing of the landing page - but perhaps we should check /why/ it exists. For the sort, I think it depends on the user whats most useful. For someone looking for a bug that affects them, heat is probably good. For someone looking for a bug to work ok, a combined needs-triage-then-priority sort (which we don't currently have, but I would like us to have ;)) is probably best. And I'm sure there are other cases... I don't have a solid recommendation, other than to note that /probably/ we get more visits to the front page of a bug tracker from non-developers than from developers (even if the rate of visits per person is much lower, there are many more users than developers, of any healthy project). -Rob _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
