In a conference I attended this year (more about Human-Machine Interaction than FLOSS), there has been a presentation about "Who are the people filing bugs for Mozilla stuff?". The final conclusion: Most of the bugs are filed by only few people. If an end-user files an bug, he - most probably - will never do that again. For the latter, several reasons have been stated, e.g. that this particular person might have hoped to get a fix (very!) soon. So yes, I totally second the idea that community members help people to bridge that gap. Those members would - from my point of view - serve as an important interface to the developers (which can now focus on fixing things). Basically, many of the people I know on the users list already do that ... maybe without knowing how important this is :-) Bye, Christoph -- To unsubscribe, send an empty e-mail to discuss+unsubscr...@documentfoundation.org All messages you send to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted.

Re: [tdf-discuss] User participation - bugtracking
Hi, :-) Since there's discussion about the projects future tools, Git at http://github.com/ could maybe be a good solution. Some would say it considerably facilitates integrating and managing collaborative contributions. Trac is also said to be another of the best new-generation tools for bug-tracking, revision control, etc. 0.2 cents, HTH. :-) David Nelson -- To unsubscribe, send an empty e-mail to discuss+unsubscr...@documentfoundation.org All messages you send to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted.

That's already taking place on users mailinglist or dev mailinglist: someone is reporting "strange behavior". Then it is filtered whether this is local problem, platform problem or software problem. Now setting up a report or finding an existing one which is remembered by someone is something usual. Ubuntu has a bug squad team which people like to join and help out. Why shouldn't that work with LibO? Shure, this is a short term description - nevertheless I think this is the way to connect userpower and developer power and that one, not to end up as we did in issuetracker.
