That was me. That was not my intention at all.
What I was trying to get at is that compile problems and long detailed
attempts to track down a bug are more suited to the developer list than
the user list.
I suggested that using bugzilla would be a better place to sort out the
detail that i did not of think would be of general interest to most users.
I just want to keep unneccessary nitty gritty detail off the user list.
the user list seems kind of dead to me, I would love to see more activity
on the user list.
I would love to here about how people are using abiword and if they are
enjoying it and what stuff they feel might be missing, I dont know just
more general interest pieces and maybe something for EA Zen to talk about
in his weekly news.
I also said that it hard to know when a problem is sufficently complex
that it not so much a user issue as a developer issue.
I was not very clear so I hope I am clearer about my intentions now.
Sincerely
Alan Horkan
