Point 2 is I think necessary. I'm not sure that there is a great difference between 'open' and 'uncomfirmed', but we could make one if needed.
We could use 'analyzed' to confirm bugs, sure.
With the other points, I'm wary of making things too difficult for users to register a bug. I know that it would cut our workload a bit... but on the whole I think it is better to have a few bogus bug reports and have us clean them out, then have people feel too intimidated to submit a bug.
If the user is forced to spend 5 minutes writing a bug instead of 1 minute it won´t intimidate the users that are really interested in getting that bug fixed and writing a proper bug report.
I don't really understand what you mean by 'combine the bug system with regression testing', as I see these things as being quite seperate. The bug system is a way for us to track what bugs there are, and what stage they are at. Regression testing is a way to make sure that they don't reappear at a later date. In other words, a bug is reported, confirmed and (hopefully) fixed. A test can be written and plugged in, so that in future it could be run to make sure the bug has not reappeared. I have been looking into how to set up some kind of automated testing system, and I'll get back to y'all at a later date.
I thought that has to be linked somehow. But regression tests (used for automated regression testing) can live in another database, sure. reagards -- o----------0-¬---------O-·---¬----o---®-----o o O ° . | http://www.kiffen.de | pRoteçt y0ur bRaín |0 O ° ¤ ° · 0°·³°²'²³-¹'³´³°^°³~³²³°'³²²¨³²^³¹³²°²³`³º³°Þ ° o © ° . · | psychedelic experience | gott@kiffen.de | O ° o ° o-¬--o--0-----©-·--O-----o-----0-¤----------o 0 ° · ° . ¤ ·
