Just two messages: Tell me, i'm wrong, if similar thing cannot be implemented here. Again, key word is _tracking_ system... Just trying attract attention, that time of ignorance and manual work must be ended. There must be new time, time of *tracking*, *counting* opinions and any kernel work anybody want to contribute. I just got bored after repeatings like, not funny work, code, etc. The manager, who will do that not funny work is automated tracking system. Based on e-mail, with additional tools, like * ``reportbug''-- reporting (imroved REPORTING-BUGS, EVERY-WORK-IS-APPRECIATED-THANK-YOU) * ``bts''-- command line interface, etc. I want to change it, and i will try to work on that. Important thing is -- to be in the corner *alone*, even with good, open source example system as Debian BTS is not gonna work. WRT this, opinions and doings of people in this thread, who spend in Linux development much more time, than i, just counter productive (fine, fine but i have a right to have different, wrong opinion on that :). -- Frenzy -o--=O`C #oo'L O <___=E M - 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/
