That might give you instant gratification, but the "perhaps" is the key. It makes it much less likely - in Potlatch 1's case, anyway - that the bug will be remembered and filed. It might work on a project with lots of spare developers but that project ain't OSM and it certainly ain't P1. At the very least, if you have to post it to a list, do attempt to use the right one (i.e. Potlatch-dev not talk). As a matter of record: talk is too high volume so I don't subscribe by e-mail, I skim read on nabble. If you post a Potlatch bug report on talk it won't end up in my inbox. If you post it on potlatch-dev or trac it will. Make your own mind up which is more likely to result in the bug being fixed. :) cheers Richard > _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
