. . . by the time the Fremantle Beta SDK is released next Spring, there will be an @nokia address watching every open-source Maemo Software product in bugs.maemo.org. In return, the community will continue triaging, testing and deflecting incoming bugs, helping to manage old bugs, and providing patches.
Is this an unreasonable request? Really, I don't think all of you understand quite how frustrating (and demotivating) it is filing bugs into a black hole, where they'll sit until they die of old age or end up WONTFIXed after they've been ignored long enough to miss the window to be fixed. All I ask is that when I file a new bug into a Nokia-owned product on Bugzilla, an email will be sent to an @nokia address. I don't even care very much whether that @nokia even reads it, I just want to know that someone, somewhere at Nokia has received information about my bug. And why wouldn't you? By ignoring Bugzilla, you're missing out on a huge resource--hundreds of dedicated users, testers, and developers willing to test your software, file bugs for you, and work with you (often quite tirelessly) to make your software great. Some of these people are even willing to provide patches to make your life even easier. All you need to do to utilize this resource is contribute 20 or 30 minutes a week to bugs.maemo.org Simple, isn't it? :) -- Ryan Abel Maemo Community Council chair _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
