[Fwd: Bug Reporting / Issue Tracking System ?]

[Brian A. Seklecki]

All:

Its been about six months since we've talked about a bug tracking system
(and other F/OSS project components).  I was just reading Mitchell
Baker's essay in "Open Sources 2.0" about the success of the Mozilla
project, and was reminded of the previous thread -- perhaps this a good
time to revisit it?

Since December, there has been a lot of progress, including:

 - The 3.x release (congrats)
 - Dual branch releng process
 - NagiosExchange.org relaunch
 - Additional Forums/Blogs/Wikis

This might be a good opportunity fill in the missing link -- a bug
public tracker.  Certainly beneficial to all parties, even if just for
the formality of filing and tracking bug reports.  It seems to be a
major component of successful F/OSS projects.  Certainly a requirement
to help manage increased user support volume as project momentum and
userbase volume grows.

If we cant get the official SF.net system, then I recommend the
community members address the issue.  Even if its just just an informal
use of a table on a wiki page.

"given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow" -- Eric S. Raymond
    -- But only if someone writes them down :)

Thoughts?
