Hi Cliff, you're bringing up a painful subject. Anyway, I have to mitigate your message subject a bit: It is certainly not futile to report bugs in trac. Currently, on every open trac ticket, there are 7 closed tickets. The point in which I agree is that ticket handling happens too randonly and sporadic, so it can happen that tickets are unhandled for an extremly long time, as in your case.
One reason for this is that user and developer fluctuation is pretty high in TurboGears. Even the original founder left the project, who is normally the person who cares most. Also, work is currently spread into 4 different branches (1.0, 1.1, 1.5 and 2.0), with most of the developers working on the 2.0 branch because it is most exciting, so tickets in the 1.x branches get little love. However, things can only get better. There will be soon official releases of the 1.1 and 2.0 branch, so there will be less discrepancy between user base and development. And the fact that your ticket finally got handled may also indicate that something is improving. In the end, it all depends on whether more people volunteer to contribute to TurboGears instead of only happily using it: http://docs.turbogears.org/Contributing/HelpWanted -- Christoph --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears Trunk" group.
