Fascinating! I didn't know this existed either. To answer Mark's question, I'm interested in facilitating more user participation in bug-collecting. Using Bugzilla confuses the heck out of me, but mostly because I don't do it very often! There are many good ideas in this list. I have one small idea re: bugzilla -- is it possible to make browsing bugs more transparent (like a link on the sidebar)? I only just discovered that it's possible to look at bugs by category, component or keyword rather than search, and for the hapless newbie who is nonetheless sometimes interested in looking (at) bugs to see what's going on (like me) it would help. First rule of taxonomies: everyone describes stuff differently, so browse is useful :) -- phoebe -- * I use this address for lists; send personal messages to phoebe.ayers <at> gmail.com * _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
