Bug handling (was: Re: fo:marker broken)

[Keiron Liddle <ke...@aftexsw.com>]

Bug reporting, fixing and handling is of course important to the process.
The main problem is that many of the bugs are being fixed in the 
development but are not easy or appropriate to fix in the maintanence 
branch.

Having said that we could still do with some better tracking and feedback 
to bug reports.
I'm focusing on the development to fix those bugs, it would be good if 
someone could put a bit of effort into the bug handling process.

That depends on what "it" is.

I don't find it a very effective form of communication under the 
circumstances and I did say a "bit".

We could change most of the bugs to won't fix or postpone with the 
assumption that the current cvs does fix these problems but there won't be 
a release for a while.

So what is the bug list for? To tell users what bugs there are in 
releases, to tell developers what problems need fixing in development?

The problem with the bugzilla backlog is that there
are quite a few duplicates and already fixed bug
in there. In particular, there is half a gadzillion
equivalents of the well known "OutOfMemoryException"
stuff, and other recurrent issues.

I read this as "It's ok"?
