Bug Report & Feedback

Tue Feb 16, 2010 2:21 pm
When submitting a bug, after the bug has been sent the report window closes and that's the end.

What if, after submitting a bug report, have the bug report program pick out some of the key details such as the application, version, and possibly the basic event or error message. Have it connect to a bug-reporting forum online and see if there are active discussions of the bug with the information we could get.

If there are discussions, we open up a minimal khtml part and let the user view the discussion thread. We could also let the user post comments directly inside the bug-report window.

This could be very useful if, for example, a fix or workaround has been found and placed into the thread - or even to just let the user know people have had this error and work is being done on it/ the status of the fix.

Aren't you automatically subscribed to the bug?
If not (and I think it doesn't, that's why I approved it) it should definitely be a part of DrKonqi.
