I think this is openFATE.
While bugs can be files for new features, openFATE is probably a better place. Bugs aren't really set up for handle discussion in their comments. However, the bugzilla is invaluable for tracking features that should work but don't. I wouldn't have any problems with "Wishlist" style bugs being migrated to openFATE and closed in Bugzilla, but I don't think there's a policy for that.
IMO this is an inefficient duplication of effort and makes the already much-too-time-consuming tasks of searching for existing bugs before filing a new one even more tedious by making 3 places you have to search (4 if you include for example KDE's or Mozilla's own). Also makes for inefficient collaboration on existing bugs, perhaps.
May I suggest they be merged (with the old sites redirecting to
Don't search all of them then. Determine where your request goes and make sure there are not duplicates on *that* site. That doesn't fix the problem with feature requests being on the wrong site, but it may save you some work. the
correct, merged one)?
Feel free to add your effort to the masses. If you don't have permission make the changes you need, you should at least be able to find the email address of someone that can do the task or give you those permissions. (Of course, upstream might have issues with merging with openSUSE.)
Or is there some significant reason to keep them separate?
Wiki should be documentation. Bugzilla should be bugs. openFATE should be new features. openFATE is rather new, so there is some overlap but that can be rectified by the community, AFAIK. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
