Please, take a minute to review the list of component owners and give me a feedback privately or throught the mailing list.
We need to define component owners to assign bugs to. These people do not necessarily have to fix the bugs forwarded to them, but will have more detailed knowlege about the status of the component, overview progress in bugs fixing.
The component owners will receive bugs after they will be processed by the first line of bugs handling, confirmed, probably already researched, with detailed information. Goal of the whole process is to reduce load on you more experienced developers. You won't have to tell "update your Wine distribution" in 100'th time. A few contributors are already doing this for you ;-)
So far only a few people took ownership over separate components: * Guy L. Albetelli - common controls * Dustin Navea - wine tools * Andriy Palamarchuk - wine applications
List of candidates: * Alexandre Julliard - wineserver, kernel, IPC * Andreas Mohr - documentation, X11 driver * Dimitrie O. Paun - GUI * Laurent Pinchart - copy protection * Hidenori TAKESHIMA - quartz, DirectShow (is the scope too narrow?), DirectX (?) * Dmitry Timoshkov - NLS, Unicode, keyboard I/O * Francois Gouget - COM, OLE * Martin Wick - sockets * Huw Davies - TrueType support, printing
Available components: * DOS support * multimedia * console * files * gdi * loader * net
Let me know what you would like to work on, if you agree or not agree to own the component, change scope, know good candidates.
I don't want to send bug reports to "black hole", assigning them to a person which is not going to work on them.
Look forward for your responses. Andriy Palamarchuk
