Talks

I gave a talk on debbugs at debconf5 in Helsinki, on the 12th of July 2005.

• background paper (included in proceedings)

• slides

TODO

• /UserTagIdeas

  • Pretty much done, needs to be committed and some more docs written up.

• /SectioningNotes

  • Integrate into request@ and make it a bit simpler to use. The "user settings" API needs rewriting, otherwise should be fairly easy. Docs, and committing required too.

• /BugSubscriptionIdeas

• /BugVersioningNotes

• Support for maintainer annotations to package pages, bug reports, etc (this is what my tags mean, this message is important/irrelevant/spam, etc)
• Adding a SOAP API that can be properly supported and replace LDAP
• Update the packaging to current CVS
• Improve support for forwarding bugs upstream (ideas: passing notifications back and forward, including status of upstream bug on web pages, control@ command that actually forwards the bug upstream rather than noting it as forwarded, etc)
• URL cleanup (ie, drop cgi-bin stuff from URLs)
• Replayable log format
• AJAX?
• Some way to integrate patches set to the BTS with real revision control
• pkgreport page that that looks more like a table than a report
• Valid HTML?
• Disintegrate the HTML from the code?
• Customisable display of bug lists?
• Cleaned up code?
