[Ayatana] Question about Bug Reporting Tools in Ubuntu, from a design perspective...

Greetings, Excuse me if this has already been addressed elsewhere. I, a pretty standard user, recently did a rather sloppy upgrade from Jaunty to Karmic (partially to see if I could handle it, partially because I'm lazy and I had a complete backup). My laptop had some pretty out of the ordinary

Re: [Ayatana] Question about Bug Reporting Tools in Ubuntu, from a design perspective...

I'd like to see this one as well for another reason. Yesterday I was reporting a Jockey bug and upon submission, launchpad died. The website gave me an oops and assured me that someone was looking into it. This was after a particularly agonizingly slow submission process. I had no idea if my rep

I'm so pleased that this topic interests others than myself. I too agree that integration and blending browser activities with our desktops are the way to go moving forward. For lack of better tools right now (I need to finish my assignment for my class this evening!) So, right now we have the "

Re: [Ayatana] Question about Bug Reporting Tools in Ubuntu, from a design perspective...

Poking around at leonov.tv I believe what we would require from Leonov would be very small in terms of the scope of his original project. The other point is that Mark did say an API would be coming out. Leonov was around even before Launchpad's open-sourcing, correct? > The Ubuntu One guys shou

I realize my model/diagram skills are lacking, but I've done my best to model my original idea of the bug reporting tool. I started this in OpenOffice Draw (please, please tell me if there is something better I should be using in Linux). I would like feedback to see if this is feasibly how the ap
