Hello CMake users and devs,<br>
<br>
(And now for something completely different...)<br>
<br>
Controversial questions:<br>
<br>
- Should we eliminate the bug tracker entirely and just do all<br>
discussion and patches on the mailing list? (Why have two sources of<br>
information...?)<br>
<br>
- Or, alternatively, should we eliminate the bulk of mailing list<br>
traffic, and insist on issues in the bug tracker being the main<br>
conversational forum for the whole community?<br>
<br>
I'd like to have this discussion here publicly, to try to get a good<br>
sense of varous community members attitudes and feelings.</blockquote><div><br></div><div>I like the bug tracker. Even people that use it, however, know that hitting up the mailing list tends to improve the chance that the bug is actually researched and fixed.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Also, sometimes it seems wrong to take an issue raised on the mailing list and force it into the bug tracker. It seems a little rude to the person that emailed about the issue because you might be asking them to deal with the rigmarole of creating a mantis account when they already went through the hassle of joining the mailing list and making the post.</div>
