Bug tracking activities are very close to AppDB maintaining activities. Both present feedback to
Wine
developers and processing of this feedback. The
idea
is to have one page to describe both activities. Users, wanting to provide feedback or help to
handle
such feedback will have one page to start from. Information I want to have on this page:
- link to Bugzilla
- link to AppDB
- link to guidelines for Wine bugs tracking
process -
finding, submission, research, fixing, testing. Of cause these guidelines will have tons of
references to
existing documents.
- link to AppDB maintainer guide
Remove this page if you think this is too much, we
can
regroup information later.
This sounds *a lot* like what www.winehq.org/about/index.php?contrib already lists.
Sounds good for me.
I really don't think adding a sort of "duplicate" page is going to help with the Wine users that already in some cases seem to be going out of their way to make sure that they don't contribute to Wine activities. (because it might even leave those people that do want to do Wine activities confused) My reasoning is: how many external winehq maintainers do we have ? how many main AppDB maintainers ? How many FAQ-O-Matic maintainers ? How many documentation writers ? How many translators ? How many regular application testers ? (Almost) all are tasks that even a non-programmer can easily handle given some dedication...
So how should this page conflict be resolved ? I'm open to anything - well, probably except to having two separate pages with some sort of "Wine contribution" content.
Agree. Lets remove talkback.inc, make a link to the contrib page from development page too. The contrib page may also have a link to the bugzilla repsponsibilities page. In future I'll add information I consider necessary to contrib.inc.
