Re: Helping Out.

I haven't been watching this list for too long, but there are a number of bug tracking packages already out in various stages of completeness -- like mine at http://phpbt.sourceforge.net/. :) I actually joined this list for the bug-tracking angle, so if you wouldn't mind... could you catch me up on the reasons for building a new tracker (rather than adapting a pre-existing one)? If you do mind, then I guess I'll just watch a while and try to figure it out. :) On Tue, Aug 07, 2001 at 04:35:05PM +0200, Jani Taskinen wrote: > On Tue, 7 Aug 2001, Cynic wrote: > > >At 16:11 8/7/2001, Jani Taskinen wrote the following: > >-------------------------------------------------------------- > > > >>I don't think the only 'job' for QA is to test RCs. > >>There are plenty of 'Open' bug reports in the bug database > >>which should be checked to these statuses: > >> > >>'Analyzed' - Real bug, reproduced(!). > >>'Bogus' - Not a bug.
