For some reason, people keep sending bug reports to the opensolaris-bugs

watches it. I can't find anywhere that tells people to use it, yet you
can see they are:
http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/forum.jspa?forumID=11
Is it time to remove it so that it's more obvious it's not a useful way to
report a bug?
Probably remove the forum, but as for the mailing list, I'd say keep it,
but set it up with an auto-responder that informs the original sender
how to log a bug via the standard mechanisms.
The reason that list/forum exists is b/c when we first launched the site
b.o.o. was very limited in how many categories it could support and
there was no installation of bugzilla. It's basically an artifact of an
earlier time.
We can definitely remove it, so long as it's not filing a gap between
b.o.o. and bugzilla.

- yes I know that information is likely on a website somewhere, but some
people respond better by to being told what to do via email, rather us
expecting them to take the time to read up on how to log bugs properly.
cheers,
