(yes, I just keyed on the lowest number I saw at a glance) If bugzilla doesn't fit to manage a todo list, use PostIt(tm) notes for pete's sake. Sorry to be so blunt, but for the love Fedora I've been downloading, testing, modifying, re-testing, re-downloading, burning, installing and so on for years, and so now for three months I've been a member of this list thinking, "I know I can help. I have the experience, know-how, and hardware." Yet, in those few months, what I encounter most consistently are walls that *prevent* us from helping. That's frustrating. A developer with "quite a workload"? Show me one who doesn't.... jerry -- There's plenty of youth in America - it's time we find the "fountain of smart". -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
