I guess a weekly 'pear-summary' if there are any outstanding bugs,

monthly 'feature request' summary email would be a good idea..

It would be cool if you could add a Hacker Activity and Bug Hunting Activity summary in the weekly news like in the Gnome Summary (and others no doubt), e.g. http://developer.gnome.org/news/summary/2002_September15-

September21.html I already suggested something like that in the past in php-qa. Things like this provide automatic recognition to bug hunters so that would motivate more people to work on that voluntarily. However, then Derick Rethans and his php-qa friends said it would be a bad idea to boost the egos of those that fix bugs!?!

points 15, and 16. I think these numbers are autogenerated by some scripts and I'm sure Christian Schaller (or whomever) will be

willing to

share.

This already existed in the past in the PHP bugs statistics page. However for some unknown reason it was disabled. It would probably not take much to re-enable this.

come on Manuel. That mail was needlessly hostile.

Duh!?! Where is the hostility here? I just reminded that I have already made a similar suggestion to addresses the need to motivate more people to work on bug report handling and told that the suggestion was previously refused by Derick and friends from the php-qa list. I also mentioned that what takes to enable the bug fixers rank was already there in the past so you only need to recover it. Ìf you see hostility in this, I begin to wonder if you already won't see hostility in every thing I say! :-( -- Regards, Manuel Lemos
