Обсуждение: Bug tracking
I just had an idea. My tracking of bugs is my e-mail box, and the TODO list.

If we're not going to put up a full-fledged bug tracking system,
that would be a simple and useful improvement to the current
state of affairs... but a BTS would be better.

The question is...which one? I'm willing to install one, but it has to be
something that everyone can use, and that means even those without GUI
capabilities.

Why? That assumes always using a Unix machine with X-Windows running, no?

Huh? How do you figure?

That assumes always using a Unix machine with X-Windows running, no? How about lynx? Do they suppor that?

What's wrong with Lynx? Keep it simple and text-based.

Or a PC with Windoze, or a Mac, or a character terminal with Lynx ...
But I agree with Marc: it'd be a good idea to ensure that someone with
only (say) email access can do at least the basic stuff of submitting
bug reports and checking on the status of bugs.
Possibly we could get away with a manual approach, at least to start
with. I suspect that the majority of users do have a web browser,
so probably only a few bug reports would still need to come via the
pgsql-bugs mailing list. If someone would volunteer to manually
transfer said reports into the tracking system, that'd handle the
email-submission problem.
Not sure what to do about the status tracking part of the problem.
But, since currently there is *no* way to track the status of bugs,
it's not like using a Web-based tracking system is going to take
anything away from email-only people that they have now.
