Hi all,
After seeing several people struggle with the bug tracker registration,
I've redesigned the way that accounts are set up.
Now, when you open a bug or make a comment, the only information needed
from you is your email address. This is used to send out a confirmation
email. When you follow the link in the confirmation email, you will be
prompted for a username, password, and your name.
In addition, anyone with bug tracker karma automatically gets pear.voter
karma (and vice-versa).
This way, the confusion of registering for an account while at the same
time reporting a bug is eliminated.
I'd like to hear how this works for you who are doing the bug reporting.
Is this easier? Our goal is to make it very easy to report bugs and to
assign proper credit to people who have provided fixes, and at the same
time very hard to spam.
Thanks,
Greg
