I wouldn't have thought so. Some big differences: - assigned to the community by default, not to the default person/group responsible for that "feature" - the bugtracker will not be the core client for managing the "bug", the usual OSM clients will (Potlatch/JOSM/Merkaartor) - _generally_ no desire for e-mail communication (if I post a report about "missing street name here", I don't want to be spammed when someone fixes it, I'm just being helpful) - greater need to manage bugs in aggregate than with a traditional bugtracker But I guess it depends where you come from. If you're primarily an open-source programmer you probably do naturally think of it in terms of bug-tracking. cheers Richard -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Unification-of-OpenStreetBugs-an-Trac-tp20704897p20819118.html Sent from the OpenStreetMap - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
