Forum OpenACS Q&A: Re: How to close/remove bugs

Thanks,

Got it worked out now, but this looks like a prime example of user-experience complexity. From the main bug report, once it's assigned to the package maintainer, there is no reference to "resolve". In order to close, you need to reassign the bug to yourself. Than you get a reference to "resolve". Since the package maintainer concept has it's flaws, it would be helpful to find alternative to this procedure, which assumes there are maintainers.

I think there are quite a few issues like this that ad to confusion, that could be solved quite easily, if a pool of end user were to stimulated to ask similar questions. We've got 9420 community members, and a core team of about 100 regular contributers. maybe it's time to open up the rest of the community 😉. To get things started, a bulkmail message would help to get some interaction going.

Not solving this results in the current situation of seemingly available bugs which are no longer relevant. Even having a simple reference like this using the /notes package would be helpful, at least more effective than us discussing this on the forum.

Just a thought
Cheers
Ben
