Maybe we should restrict ticket creation to registered users only?

As far as I understand, getting a Trac ID is a very manual and vetted process, and only recommended if you're a significant contributor. If you don't want any bug reports at all from mortals, sure, limit it to registered users. Even if the requirements to get an user is relaxed, you're going to lose a lot of reports. ===8<=== Userids are normally granted to maintainers and authors of prospective (“sandbox”) and accepted Boost libraries, people working on the Boost website, and people contributing significant content to this Wiki. ===8<=== As a side note, what happened to the discussion on considering Github-based issue tracking? Did the Boost Cabal (Steering Committee?) ever say anything definitive on that? -- Lars Viklund | zao@acc.umu.se
