I know Linus > hated jitterbug, Im guessing he hates bugzilla too ? I didn't start out hating jitterbug, I tried it for a while. I ended up not really being able to work with anything that was so email-hostile. You had to click on things from a browser, write passwords, and generally just act "gooey", instead of getting things just _done_. If I can't do my work by email from a standard keyboard interface, it's just not worth it. Maybe bugzilla works better, but I seriously expect it to help _others_ track bugs more than it helps me. Which is fine. We don't all have to agree on the tools or on how to track stuff. The worst we can do (I think) is to _force_ people to work some way. [ This is where the angel chorus behind me started singing "Why can't we all live together in peace and harmony" and put up a big banner saying "Larry [heart] Alan". At that point my fever-induced brain just said "plop" ] Linus - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
