Peter, |
| 27 |
First off thanks for your input. I'm currently working with userrel |
| 28 |
and bugdays to develop better systems to handle user contributions. |
| 29 |
We're currently working on updating the current bugday page. We've |
| 30 |
run up against a roadblock which we should be able to get by soon. |
| 31 |
After updating the current page we hope to introduce bug voting, |
| 32 |
search by skills and point rewards. Users will be able to tag bugs if |
| 33 |
they are working on them so users can work together. After a bug is |
| 34 |
closed the votes will be awarded to the user(s). Now its time to |
| 35 |
emphasize that these are separate bugzilla. Bug voting has been |
| 36 |
controversial but those who use bugs.g.o will not notice any |
| 37 |
difference. The points will be award by us to foster some friendly |
| 38 |
competition. Through this process I hope to groom more developers. |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
Please feel free to give more feedback. |
| 41 |
Thanks, |
| 42 |
Scott |
