Yes, and we'd all like more people to do more "real" work. But not everybody has the time or skills. I think this is a case where "agreeing to disagree" is the best we can do. Specifically, Terry has made a strong case that "a few minutes per issue" *can* improve the tracker in ways that *are* noticable to some of the developers (and some of them have acknowledged that). It would be nice if the "tracker trimmers"[1] could assemble 60 of those into a few hours, and do some "real work", but that's often just not possible (especially for people with minimal programming expertise as yet). Footnotes: [1] Trawlers take fish out of the ocean: not really the best metaphor. Gardening is a better metaphor. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
