i think Joachim raises a very good point. if it's going to be released
with OpenBeOS, i think maybe it would be a good place to have
a central database. it's seems quite silly to me to have different places
to send bugs for every single preferences panel and daemon. doesn't
really look much like a unified effort and it may detour people from filing
bugs.
even just a webpage with links to all the different heads and different
programs
could be sufficient for now. however, like what Be had, it was nice to have
a
central database where people could search all bugs for OBOS. you could
also go through and pull out nice little statistics to show how much work
has been done. if a user runs into 3 or 4 bugs then it'd be easy to file
a lot of them at once, in one central location.
maybe it'd be nice to have a setup of bugzilla or other such bug database
that is specially tailored for OBOS. i believe that one day it'll be
necessary,
and it's probably better to start early then to suddenly have this huge need
for it
and a huge void. it's certainly not worth a lot of engineering time, unless
a few talented
people out there who aren't good at kernel or BeOS programming and still
want to help.
my 2 euro cents,
