Curious: How much control do we actually have > over the HTML, etc. for this page? Depends on what you mean by "control". If you mean "creative control over content and design", we have complete authority to do whatever the heck we want, so long as the form works. Whee! As for control over making changes to the form, that's a little trickier. If it's done as a template in bugzilla (like the extras-review page[0]) we have to hand it off to the bugzilla team to put it in place, which is really easy but still non-trivial. If we choose to do it as a separate HTML form on a fp.o server, obviously we have complete control. > I'm not experienced with Bugzilla administration, but are we able to > separate all Fedora-related products and theme those pages ourselves? At this point there's only one Fedora-related product - Fedora. As for "theming" those pages.. if you go through the Red Hat front page, you'll get the default Red Hat layout. I'd assume we'd want a simplified Bugzilla frontend on fp.o that has a Fedora-specific message and look/feel. It would have nice links to the Fedora-specific bug query/entry templates and such. Beyond that, though, it's still > Also, if/when the bugzilla.redhat.com > upgrades to Bugzilla 3.0, how would that affect any work that we do? It shouldn't affect it much, so long as our templates / forms still work. We'll have plenty of time to make sure our stuff is compatible with Bugzilla 3.0. > Having said that, I'd be happy to help out with this, given the details > for the original template/design ideas, etc. I'm attaching the current enter_bug template and extras review template. I forget what the templating language is called but its use should be pretty obvious - check the bugzilla docs[1] for more info. I'd love to talk about further ideas for this stuff - the bug entry page causes a lot of confusion and lost bugs and it would be a great boon if we could make it easier to use. -w [0] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi?product=Fedora% 20Extras&format=extras-review [1] http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/tip/html/cust-templates.html
