[Opensim-dev] MANTIS PRIORITY LIST PROPOSAL

[Dirk Krause]

Hi,

I have to agree with Melanie.

This is not about being selfish, it's about who you see as the user. Let's say you have a bug that fills your database slowly but surely, then the user and grid operator Charles K. (name abbreviated to protect the innocent) is very much influenced, but the end user will not notice it for months maybe years (until the grid goes down). 

So every bug will be important to someone - as you say, the users.

- Dirk

Well, it's not really that hard, just don't do it in a selfish way..

Put yourself in the users' shoes..
