Then work on a script which generates a web page out of not-closed bugzilla RFEs in pretty-print, with links to the bug filings. Then you have your pretty overview for people who can't query bugzilla for RFEs. > I find this resistence to exploring alternative avenues of > communication... amusing... I find hyping Wikis for everything that remotely resembles "information" annoying. Use the right tool for the job. It's hard to track things in a Wiki, but it's not a real problem to generate easier presentation forms for request/bug-tracking systems. > considering the fact that this mailinglist is a hallmark of > duplication. Well, I don't fully understand the seperation of fedora-devel and -test either. But having bad examples doesn't excuse making the mess even bigger. See also the "web forum" thing regarding end user question support. There was AND IS fedora-list, (now) _and_ "web forums". Can we please decide to EITHER use mailing list OR clickety-click-all-colorful? Anyway, I'll rest my case. Looks like I'm the only one preferring request/bug trackers and mailing lists over the stylish new things like "web forums" and Wikis. Perhaps because for me not everything looks like a nail yet.
