Ah... That is *really* complicated for people who are not aware of all this. I had the impression that the Papercuts was intended to get feedback from a broader audience. For an *enduser* (even my wife is on Linux) the stated problems are *one* issue. I understand, that for a developer they break down into a large number of distinct programming tasks. So the big question would be: reach out to the user population at large (eventually bugtrack isn't the right way to collect this feedback and there must be a translation between end user submissions and launchpad entries. Lecturing end users about launch pad use is a good way to cut development off from user feedback - which would be a pitty. Would be a bug in a lauchpad: "Offer functionality to split one bug filed into a set of related bugs" --- so the "master-bug" would close when all sub-bugs close.
So I have to submit again? Or is papercuts the wrong place? (I actually wouldn't mind to sponsor one or the other bug since I lack the C skills to fix them myself). :-) stw On Tue, Dec 1, 2009 at 11:03 PM, Daniel Fore <daniel.p.f...@gmail.com>wrote: > @Stephan > > Try reading the response again ;) It's hard for developers to track big > lists of problems like this.
