[arch-general] [Questions] Questions from past project and ideas fomr -dev-public that get silence.

[Alexander Harrigan]

I think the problem is lack of information about statuses of various projects.
Users can't disticnt between something that is being worked on slowly because
of lack of time of dev or technical difficulties and something totally
forgotten. I think it would be helpful if features/isues discussed here have
official tickets in Arch bugsystem where everyone could see current status
with dev commentary and could ask questions. It doesn't need to be updated
daily or weekly but we could point to it everyone who's interested instead of
creating new topics here or on forum over and over.
