Dear lovers of reduced entomology, There has been a bunch of discussion about the bug status of GNOME in openSUSE. Some people say it is buggier than the cockroach nest which I found two days ago in my cupboard. It's not that bad, but close. Anyway --- we want to build a list of the bugs which annoy the most people, so that we can fix those first. Rodrigo Moya and myself have been talking of how to do this. There are several ways to do this: - By counting the "votes" in Bugzilla. If you look very closely in bug pages (or use the high technology available in Edit/Find), you'll see a "Vote for this bug" field. This hasn't been used very much in bugs for openSUSE 10.3, while there is some interesting info in 10.2 (e.g. the most-voted bug of all in 10.2 is https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=222490 - Nautilus uses 100% CPU; we have a patch, which I'll take care of putting into a package for 10.2 soon). - By looking at the bugs with the highest number of duplicates. No idea about this yet. - By looking at bugs with the largest CC list. I don't know if people really take the trouble of looking for bugs before (re)filing them, so this may not give out meaningful info. - Bug severities / priorities, of course. [An interesting bit of literature is http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/fog0000000014.html for those interested.] So, here is a CALL FOR HELP * Please vote for bugs in Bugzilla. Vote for bugs that happen to *you*, not for bugs which you don't get but which you think may be important. * Please make sure that you are in the CC list for relevant bugs which have already been filed (or just file the bug again; the elves will take care of marking it as a duplicate). Rodrigo and myself will probably publish a list of "hot bugs" soon. Thanks!
