How could decentralization influence the overflowing bug tracker?
A very good question. The most obvious thing is that projects could all choose their own issue tracking systems, so nobody needs to be bogged down by the slowness of a single Trac instance or tied to the current stagnation of the Trac development effort.
I currently monitor all incoming tickets for all libraries. I won't appreciate having 50 places to look instead of 1.
Understood. Not everyone will be as interested as you are in all of Boost, though. But if there's a need for something like this, we can make it a requirement for Boost libraries that they have a publicly-subscribable mailing list hooked up to their issue tracker, and we can even make it a service of Boost to aggregate those lists into one boost-issues list to which you can subscribe. Or we could decide that Boost policy keeps all project's trackers in one place. Options are wide open. -- Dave Abrahams Meet me at BoostCon: http://www.boostcon.com BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
