What we do in the GNOME project is to find volunteers to run triage and catalog the bugs. If you have a "bugmaster" position who could coordinate something like this.
Typically, if you have a bug system it's a good way to get more contributers who want to start off small by fixing some of the smaller bugs. So you could say that having such a beast might increase the number of contributors (if thats desirable) That way large bugs could be handled by the core group and the smaller bugs could be done smaller trusted group. sri On Thu, Dec 05, 2002 at 03:08:12PM -0600, Dave Dykstra wrote: > On Wed, Dec 04, 2002 at 04:42:35PM -0800, Sriram Ramkrishna wrote: > > Have you considered using bugzilla for reporting bugs?
