Given the recent slander and plain old ridiculousness occurring on our
bugtracker, I've decided to create :
    http://dev.haiku-os.org/wiki/BugTrackerEtiquette
This will be listed on the main page, where exactly, i'm not certain.

As for content, I'm planning on reproducing most of Bugzilla@Mozilla's guide:
    https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/page.cgi?id=etiquette.html
1. commenting:
    1.No pointless comments.
    2. No personal abuse.
    3. No obligation.

2. Changing Fields
    1. No messing with other people's bugs.
I'm really not sure if this should be mentioned on our page.
Only developers, admins, ticket-creator, and possibly a few other
groups have this ability.
    2. No whining about decisions. If a respected project contributor
has marked a bug as INVALID, then it is invalid. Someone filing
another duplicate of it does not change this. Unless you have further
important evidence, do not post a comment arguing that an INVALID or
WONTFIX bug should be reopened.
Unfortunately, this one is needed. Even more unfortunately, I believe
the people who are in most need to observe it simply will not.


On a side note, A page like this may be useful to have for R1/a1:
    https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/page.cgi?id=bug-writing.html

Suggestions and comments are always welcomed.
