I've been using and programming computers since 1981, when my family bought our shiny, new Apple ][+ (We even splurged for the 16K expansion card, giving us a whopping 60KB of RAM! As I recall, our computer cost around $2,000, which back then was a lot of money!). I've been the head maintainer or contributor to more FOSS projects than I can recall off the top of my head. I have a bachelor's degree from MIT, where I worked on Project Athena in just about every role in the software lifecycle, as well as spending six years working for the user help-desk as both a volunteer and paid user consultant (which means, frankly, that I have a hell of a lot more experience than you at understanding how novice users think and what they will and won't put up with). I helped write Kerberos, which means that code I wrote is running on pretty much every Linux, Mac, or Windows computer in the world. I've contributed to the Mozilla core. I was using Fedora long before it was Fedora. I was one of the original members of the Red Hat Beta Team, so long ago that most people on this list have probably never heard of it, and I have the "We kill bugs dead" T-shirt to prove it. I was, at one point, such a prolific submitter of bugs into RHBZ that for quite a while I had submitted far more bugs than anyone else (as of today I've reported 1,236 bugs to RHBZ). So I think that you need to start thinking and speculating and asking yourself where will we be in 5 - 10 years time yes there are people that are responsive in bugzilla and do look at it from time to time but quite frankly the majority ignores it.Do you have hard data to support that assertion, or just anecdotal stories about bugs you've filed that have been ignored? In my experience, the majority of bugs that I've filed have received attention from package maintainers. jik |
