[cmake-developers] CMake bug tracker discussion

[David Cole]

Hello CMake users and devs,

(And now for something completely different...)

Controversial questions:

- Should we eliminate the bug tracker entirely and just do all
discussion and patches on the mailing list? (Why have two sources of
information...?)

- Or, alternatively, should we eliminate the bulk of mailing list
traffic, and insist on issues in the bug tracker being the main
conversational forum for the whole community?

I'd like to have this discussion here publicly, to try to get a good
sense of varous community members attitudes and feelings.


I'll start the ball rolling by saying that, personally, I like the bug
tracker. I find it much easier to keep a list of issues organized and
accessible than I can with email filters and folders. But I still see
a need for both tools.

What do you say?
