No? scan.coverity.com also requires personal registration (sends an email with your name, email address, and "reason for needing access") for each project the list (which looks like it's one project per program/app, I don't see a category like "Fedora Extras" to sign up for blanketwise) in order to see the list of bugs. Any chance we could relax that somewhat, tie it into the FE accounts system or something? Else everyone wanting to look at that list needs to register at coverity's site, yes? The current registration looks like: To get access to the FOOBAR report please supply your: Full Name: Email: Your association with the project and purpose of access: There's no privacy policy listed (though their main page's "subscribe to our mailing list" does say "We will NEVER share your e-mail with anyone and you can unsubscribe at any time." there's no similar statement or opt-out for sales calls made using the info you provide. Otherwise, I do like the idea. Thanks, Matt -- Matt Domsch Software Architect Dell Linux Solutions linux.dell.com & www.dell.com/linux Linux on Dell mailing lists @ http://lists.us.dell.com
