The best ever debugging system I experienced was an online chat system. Not IRC, pear to pear (one to one) system.
I don't imagine we can manage this. The main advantage is that it works with a simple browser, no special IRC config
could it be possible / usefull to *require* an IRC chat *before* reporting a bug????

Conversing with people is indeed a useful tool. It helps to identify whether the bug is already known or whether it really is a bug and not a user-caused issue. I frequently utilize my presence on IRC to vet out my issues before deciding whether to file a bug somewhere. But that's because IRC is second-nature to me and part of my integrated computing usage on a daily basis. That's not the case for many people, and it would be next to impossible to come up with a system to require IRC discussion before filing a bug. Not to mention bug filing isn't just for users, developers also file bugs on their own projects in order to keep track of their own work. Moreover, requiring human interface before filing a bug... well, that sounds similarly close to phone-support, and we don't really offer that kind of support. That's usually something for paid software distributors. Bryen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
