Re: cvs commit: apache-site bug_report.html
Posted by Marc Slemko <ma...@worldgate.com>.
Since we have failed to get any more people to help with bug reports, we
have to try cutting down the number of reports.
I'm wondering if we have to add a hidden password in this and then make
people enter it to a form before they can submit a report.
I keep thinking that http://bugs.apache.org/ should really display this
junk, since we may have people just going there without seeing the other
one.
