Solves 2 problems at once really to be honest I don't like touching the bugs system it seems to be snipers's baby and likely to hurt me if I touch it ;) In regards to the current notes system from a users point of view it's the best resource out there, people are constantly commenting in irc how much they are being helped with it, the comments are getting better as people seem to know what is accepted and not these days, although some more monitoring could be done better some how as a lot of shitty notes still get through, bugs etc etc just have a look at some obscure functions some time Having never seen the email that is sent to rejected letters I cant comment however there has been a lot of noise on it as of late so I assume its not up to par, so maybe a complete overhaul is in order? Yet again having our own bug page will help enormously in moderating the notes page 1) a lot more options rather than deleting a bug request because it doesn't belong there and it never being dealt with, im sure it happens mark it as a bug and bang it has everyone's attention I guess im rambling again I do that just my 2c's Thanks jared
