[arachne] Bugtracker for Arachne

Arachne at FreeLists---The Arachne Fan Club!

Hi all!

What about adding an automated bugtracker to the Arachne project? Except
for one-man projects, nearly every Open Source project seems to have
one. I think this would be a good thing for Arachne, too.

Reporting bugs in Arachne has become increasingly difficult because of
different developers working on different cores, so knowing whom to
contact is important. Also, there is the human component involved; if
the person the bug report is sent to is absent or busy or in a bad mood,
the bug report is often ignored, or the request to fix it is turned
down. Bug reports that are sent to the Arachne mailing list very often
just sit there without anyone of the development team noticing them, and
even those that make it into the Arachne 2DoList tend to sink into
oblivion. Besides, IMO the 2DoList is suited better for feature requests
than for bug reports.

An automated bugtracker script running on a designated web site could
solve all of these problems. People could look for open bugs already
listed before submitting their own reports, avoiding redundant entries,
and developers could frequently scan the database for open bugs that
need their attention.

Of course such a script would have to be compatible with Arachne, but I
think this is true for most of the scripts I have seen.

Regards,

Udo
