Global bug list

by Kaj Eijlers · in Torque Game Engine · 01/22/2006 (1:08 pm) · 2 replies

I know there is no global bug list (the 'added as bug #xxx), and that that is because some bugs are under NDA.
Still a shame, I guess a lot of the people could help tracking bugs, which would ultimately help NDA people as well.
Couldn't there just at least be a forim where bugs that are marked in threads are also referenced?

I know I find fixing bugs a great way to get to know an engine as it forces you to dive into places where you normally wouldn't go, so ultimately everyone would benefit.

Maybe just a sticky thread where new bugs that pop up in the forum are crosslinked with a one line description?

ps. And yes, a changelog would be nice as well. The one in HEAD is kinda not so up to date.

I agree sometimes its really hard to search and find the solution before it moves in to Head .
But i guess its a huge job to get this to work, the change log before was great in many ways .

GG has their own bug-tracker but we aren't privliged to it AFAIK.

Perhaps GG could install an 'unofficial' Bugzilla for the torque community alongside the TDN and current forums?

On the positive - it might speed up torque development as the community could better focus their efforts on current bugs or desired features.

On the negative, it would be more bandwidth, and more man-hours spent by GG keeping the thing relativly insink with their official buglist...

cost/benifit i guess.
