So - what did people think went well during the bug sprint? What went poorly? What can we do better next time (assuming that there is a next time)?
I think it proves that people are too busy around the holidays for a bug sprint.
That, and/or there aren't enough people willing to look at issues and/or contribute patches to Boost.
1. There were only a limited number of library author taking part. 2. Non-library authors don't have trunk commit access. Now, the chances are most of the bugs / trac tickets are with libraries where the author isn't taking part. Now, the culture of boost discourage any commit to libraries not "owned" by oneself. Hence we have a result where there's people willing to make patches or whatever, attach it to trac, and then nothing happens. It's not very encouraging to see patches you've done during the last bug sprint 6 months ago to still be sitting in trac unapplied. KTC
