I actually think it's better to get it here, let others tester test it on
same or similar hardware or different.
Testers can then duplicate/confirm it + most bugzappers if not all or on
this list and it saves time if needinfo is needed ( more have tested )
We would deliver more of cold cut confirmed bugs to bugzilla and other
tester would be informerd that this has been reported ( if it has been that
is )
following by a bug number, this would deliver less bugs/duplicates in
bugzilla hence minimizing the overall bug reports/footprint.
Now when F9 is around the corner developers might need triage of bugs to a
certain tester with specific hardware then i think its
good if they knew which tester possessed that certain hardware and
developers only needed to contact wwoods or jds2001 or post to this list
and a bug hunt meeting could be arrange between the testers and the
developers.
Surfing through bugzilla to find the right people with the right hardware
and or setup might take time...
I see what you mean. Perhaps we need some way of adding smolt
profiles to Fas, with a flag that says 'ask me for testing help.'
This way we can sift through that data that way.
