Sobral" X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.5 [en] (Win98; I) X-Accept-Language: pt-BR,ja MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-chat@freebsd.org Subject: 1998 Bugs Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-chat@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I notice that we had almost as much bugs reported through send-pr on 1998 as we had on all previous years together... I can think of a few explantions... * 3.0-RELEASE with the kld and elf move? * number of users has been increasing at a very fast rate? * more committers -> more new committers -> more bugs? * quality has decreased? * size has increased? * someone managed to get the users to user send-pr at last? * all of the above? * none of the above? * others? So, I guess the question is... will we have as much new PRs this year (~5000)? Will we actually double again? On a more serious note (yup, the above was not quite serious), this vast increase in the number of new PRs will be straining us. Should we have a new type of contributor, in addition to our regular doc's people, ports' people and src's people (did I miss anyone?), the PR's people? (No, Brett, I don't mean PR as in press, but as in Problem Report ;) -- Daniel C. Sobral (8-DCS) dcs@newsguy.com dcs@freebsd.org "What happened?" "It moved, sir!"
