"needsinfo": resolution vs. triage stage

2011-02-24 Thread Gabriel Hurley
In regards to #14702 , which so far has been a universally favored idea, there's one lingering issue: Do we want to implement it as a resolution (i.e. you close a ticket as "needsinfo" and the reporter reopens to provide the information) or as a triag

Thanks for the input. The consensus is clear. #14702 is now closed! (as fixed) I wanted to close it as "needsinfo" just for the humor of it, but oh well. Enjoy the new resolution (and accompanying docs)! - Gabriel -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Group

Switching to the HTML5 doctype won't hurt IE6 rendering (having dealt with this myself several times). To the best of my knowledge--from my own tests and third-party sources--using the new input attributes also doesn't hurt IE6. However, if we start delving deeper into HTML5 and using the new HT

This seems antithetical to the design goals of Django's ORM (e.g. *not* being an interface for SQL but an abstraction layer for managing objects). While it may not be as pretty to execute your raw SQL in your setUp method, that seems like the right way to handle cases of specialized SQL such as
