I suppose you could log a bug that refers to a patch of another bug, if that isn't too weird. That way, you could vote for a bug you want fixed and you could vote for a patch that fixes it separately and the severity of the problem could be tracked along with the relative confidence people have in proposed solution. The trick would be making it easy to get rid of the patch votes when a bug is resolved. Anyone out there a bugzilla wizard?

Although that is meant for prioritizing - Or maybe a "+1 I tried it" in the comments to help committers feel more comfortable. I am one of those people that is trying to be more active on the list and in the code. If I can help in this type of area by trying patches and voting for ones that work, that would be great. rom: Taylor, Jason <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Applying patches Date: Fri, 4 Oct 2002 10:43:48 -0700 Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="----_=_NextPart_001_01C26BCD.98088C80" Maybe we can come up with some process of reviewing patches so that struts-dev subscribers can take care of some of the quality control tasks and committers can review the reviews, if that makes sense. Struts is so good at divvying up work between people and creating specialized tasks that somehow make up a development process, it seems appropriate that the process of managing the framework itself should benefit from similar specialization. Is there anything we can do to help committers review patches? Maybe people could post their own digests of the bug list that prioritize bugs, scope the issues and give their opinions on the possible solutions or the posted patches that are available. We could also find bugs that we recommend be dismissed to get them off the list. Maybe morale would improve if there was a sense that the effort required was actually *not* infinite. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
