List,
One of the main ideas I've been working on, is about lowering the
entry barrier for contributors. I mean... ANYBODY should be able to
contribute, and the software itself should make you contribute without
even thinking about doing it. That's why I changed the default
exception handler, which now allows the user to:
- Write a bug summary and description
- Login to his sourceforge account (anonymous is ok also)
- Send the bug report to the sourceforge bug tracking system
All of this from within w3af, and using a small wizard. If
somebody feels like testing it, and finding some bugs, the easiest way
to test it is to trigger a bug yourself by adding "asdjn" to line 559
of "core/ui/gtkUi/main.py". After that, just start a scan and w3af
will crash. The system will guide you through the bug reporting.
This is just the beginning, we are going to be using this method
to report false positives, false negatives, etc. The system needs some
refactoring, but it's working. For 1.0 I'll just include the bug
reporting (with the refactoring) but for the next versions we'll have
the full "user == contributor" features =)
Please comment,
Cheers,
