While looking through bugs for [core] packages, I notice that there are a large number of bug report for these three packages. In total they account for ~13% of the bugs in the tracker!
Firstly, I want to clarify that I'm not here to point fingers at anyone for not dealing with these bugs. We all only have limited time...
But given these are some of the uniqueness of Arch, I wonder what we _as a group_ could to do to improve this situation? Perhaps organize a hack-a-thon on IRC one day? Or we could advertise for help, with the selection criterion being a git repo provided by the applicant showing they can do stuff?
Comments/ideas?
So there have been no comments on this...
Sorry, Allan, I've read your email few days ago at work, but forgot to reply. :-/ I think the main problems with initscripts is that many bugs/features require lots of work and testing in many configurations to be fixed/implemented, Help from everyone is really appreciated. Currently I'm testing some changes in the locale configuration area, which may close 2 reports, but other than that I cannot say for sure if/when I can take a look at others, at least until holidays. -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)
