Indeed.

Is finding someone on IRC to chat about your problem sometimes faster than a bug? Absolutely. But you said: (In reply to comment #13) > Personally I find impersonal communication methods like bugzilla a passive > aggressive way to air issues without actually talking to anyone directly.

Regardless of your personal opinions about Bugzilla, it's where we file bugs about our software--all of it. It's completely reasonable to expect people to file bugs here, and they should be treated with just as much interest and care as things tracked in Mingle, Trello, or reported to the IRC ether. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list Wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
