Now that's an interesting subject for documents: performance analysis on |
6 |
Gentoo :) Would actually constitute an entire category of documents ! =) |

We are now telling that the documents on the site are up for improvements. |
15 |
Think about what we do with bugreports about /proj/en/* documents - we tell |
16 |
them the GDP can't fix those and redirect them to the appropriate team. |

What would you do with a bugreport about a totally different site? Right, |
19 |
giggle a bit, tell the world about the stupid bug report and mark it as |
20 |
wontfix/cantfix. |
21 |
|
22 |
Now what would you do with a bugreport about a document that /is/ in |
23 |
/doc/en? You'll either try to fix the document, or keep the bugreport until |
24 |
someone else can fix it. What's wrong with this? In the worst case, the |
25 |
bugreports for a particular guide are piling up with the net end result that |
26 |
we remove the document from CVS (well, Attic it or move it somewhere else). |
27 |
|
28 |
If we would mark documents as "outdated"/"unmaintained" and you'll get a |
29 |
bugreport about those, what would you do differently from bugreports on |
30 |
documents that are up-to-date/maintained? I would be quite surprised if you |
31 |
handled those bugs differently. |

I like it. Gives some action on the mailinglist again. I almost thought I |
37 |
would lose my English skills if it went on like this (no IRC, no English |
38 |
phone calls, hardly any mailinglist traffic - except on stupid or off-topic |
39 |
... err ... topics :) |
