Hi everybody, In a mail about a week ago I asked everybody what they would like to fix/improve about Tomcat. Only two of the issues I listed people thought they were interested, this are: . Get to a close to zero number of bugs. . Improve the admin console.
So I checked every single bug that is open in the Tomcat 6 bugzilla and I think we are in better shape that what I initially thought. About 1/3 of the open bugs have a proposed patch (some of these bugs patches are in the soon-to-be-released 6.0.15 tag), about 1/2 are requests for small enhancements and the rest are real bugs (most of them somehow small bugs) or things that are not within the standard but the proposed behavior is somehow reasonable. I am still working on a few bugs that I think are real bug that we should address, and while working on the code, I find two things on the code that somehow I did not like. The first one is something that every and then there is a user that writes about it in the user mailing list, and is related to how Tomcat handles the compilation of .tag(x) files and how this is unbearably slow. The second one is on how Tomcat addressed .jsps and .tagx files. With this in mind, I would like to start working on these two issues, but would like to know your opinion. These might be "Great, I think that these are things that we should take care about", "There is no way we would allow such a refactoring", "As long as I do not have to work on it, I have no issue" or "Just do not waste your time, everybody here thinks that what we are doing is the best" :-p If these proposals are not flamed, then I would like to know who is also interested in working on improving these parts of Tomcat. Thanks, and sorry for the long post, lg --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
