General Development Having written open source software myself, and being a subscriber to mailing lists, etc, there is a realization that the number one thing missing from smaller open source projects is feedback from users.

Bug Tracking
by Traal on Fri 13th Jun 2003 21:37 UTC

It's common knowledge that you should check to see if a bug has already been reported before reporting it. If the developer doesn't use a publicly searchable bug tracking system like SourceForge (or a web page with a list of known issues), this isn't possible (unless everyone who uses the software subscribes to the mailing lists, which I never do).

So that's today's lesson, quiz tomorrow.
