Again, this would be entirely by agreement - anybody not wishing to do bug fixing can do whatever they like, but I do think even core devs get a kick out of bugfixing now and then, and adding stuff like those pesky last lsl commands.<BR>
<BR>
Regarding the mantis, there are several things that can be done; and what I was _really_ thinking was that "clearing" would mean "getting organized"<BR>
<BR>
If we can rally users and testers to help with the mantis, there are a number of things that can be done;<BR>
1) De-duplicate<BR>
2) Place mantis is "feature" vs "bug" - I did say "feature freeze" and this is roughly what I meant - the feature mantises would linger, but would not be part of this endeavour<BR>
3) Off major feature bugs onto the feature voting site<BR>
4) Re-reproduce and close of non-reproducible<BR>
5) Place major issues (that would require major restructuring) in a "post 0.7.0" category<BR><BR>
This way, we could "clear" mantis, as in getting to a point where all issues with the current feature set is fixed or closed.<BR><BR>
Again, only striving to set a tone.<BR>

And mostly i was more concerned with trying to clear mantis, that seams a bit unrealistic, as a good portion of fixing the mantis probably rely on us instituting many feature requests. It kind of goes against the whole premise of freezing up feature requests.<BR><BR>

<DIV class=h5><BR><BR>Have you even looked at mantis??? there are 728 open tickets, chances are if we clear mantis, we will have OpenSimulator 1.0.. I personally don't see this as feasible, this is to me looks like us trying to control what all the developers are doing, and I have to -1 this idea as it would probably make most devs just stop working.<BR><BR>Neb<BR><BR>
