Обсуждение: progress update, some questions

Greetings.

I almost finished the work on user-level form submits (surveys, bugs,
doc comments, events and news) and have a few questions.

1) Is 'active' field in 'events' table really needed? Maybe just
consider the events with end date in the future as valid?
2) Bug submit through the website just increments some sequence but the
bug itself is not stored in the database. Is this the expected
behaviour? What came out of a lengthy discussion about a "real" bug tracker?
3) There is *no* moderation at all for the doc comments, I suppose? You
know why PHP's have such a good signal-to-noise ratio? Here is the
reason: http://lists.php.net/group.php?group=php.notes

No, that field is now obsolete.

Yes, that is the intended behaviour for the moment.

There is no moderation, though I believe some of the docs guys go
through them before any releases to incorporate anything useful.

Feel free to add some moderation if you like - an email to the list with
a link to an 'approve' script in /admin would do the job I guess.

Something I've been thinking of adding to our current admin stuff is an
automatic email of actual approvals of news/events; I see they do something
similar on the php docs by emailing out any changes, I'd really like to have
that feature included if we add moderation tech to our docs.

Before I actually start working on admin pages: what exactly do you want sent to
the list?
1) News items/events added (like it is done now).
2) Approvals of news/events (automatically, unlike now).
3) Added doc comments.
4) Approved/deleted doc comments.

definitely we need the above two

The only concern I would have about these would be to make sure that we
have enough qualified people to handle these appropriatly here. Peter,
you do a lot of the doc oriented stuff, do you have any input on the
above two?  Would it be better if they went to the docs list?

BTW, in such a case there will immediately be a need to give different
access rights to different people...
