Dear List, There was another post about this on irc from a user, so I thought I would write something to the list.
20140616 17:26:01< ancestral> Just curious, is there any plan to move away from the Gna issue tracker? It looks to me like we intended to do this but got distracted or didn't answer all of the questions we had before executing? Maybe we can follow up on this: http://wiki.wesnoth.org/WesnothGIT#lift_up_the_bug_tracker.27s_contents IMO it would be a very good idea to move to redmine or equivalent... I'm sure redmine has many merits, but I'm just as motivated by the drawbacks of the current bugtracker: 1.) Generates untrusted certificate warnings when you follow bugs.wesnoth.org link, which surely deters users from reporting. (I somehow resolved this on my machine but I don't remember how, it might have required a browser switch / upgrade.) It appears to affect many of our users, since the majority probably wouldn't report such an issue: http://forums.wesnoth.org/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=40116&p=567827&hilit=+hope#p567827 http://forums.wesnoth.org/viewtopic.php?t=29425&p=419629#p419526 2.) Requires user to answer an inane trivia question about git as a CAPTCHA question. There have been several forum posts by users who simply don't know how to figure out the answer. http://forums.wesnoth.org/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=39068&p=569471&hilit=british+slang#p569471 , http://forums.wesnoth.org/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=40165&p=568474&hilit=british+slang#p568404 3.) Savane formatting is wonky and difficult to use correctly, also you can't edit your post after it's been made to fix the formatting errors. Best Regards, Chris Beck
