Simple answer: because although I am doing my best to cover all topics here, it might be that I miss something. If you want our fullest attention and making sure that I get it, a PM works best. Or email, also fine. We are currently setting up a bug tracking system, which makes it easier in future, promise.
Good to know a public system for reporting bugs is coming. In the interim, both objectives can be easily achieved by members writing a post in the bug thread to describe the bug/discovery/question and then sending a PM with a link to the post to Klaas.
I’ve been setting up a bug tracker at
https://pbt.unfactorable.com/, but one does need an account to log in. I’d be glad to provide accounts on request. A PM to me or Klaas is all that should be needed to get an account on that bug tracker, a PM that ideally mentions
- a desired account / login name (ASCII, with letters being lowercase — preferences on the site allow users to specify the name that shows up on tickets etc.; a user with account “tcmits” [or “t_c_mits” or “t.c.mits” etc.], for example, could set the account’s “full name” to “T. C. Mits”), and
- an email address I should send the initial password to.
I was planning on (and will be) mentioning the site when I reply to descriptions of bugs here. I’ve been busy with other project-related matters recently. The main thing I need to change on the server that runs the bug tracker is to get email fully working (I got about halfway on that yesterday). (I want to get email up and running so that email notifications can be sent when tickets are updated; I thought I’d start mentioning the bug tracker here after email was fully working.) There’s only a few accounts on the bug tracker currently, to help me “kick the tires” a bit — Wes here has one and has filed a few
tickets. (The
as I was surprised to log in to the tracker one day and suddenly see — lo and behold — a bunch of actual tickets! — thanks, Wes!)
