Hi Quim,

I think this is not as easy as it looks. I think if I look at the
live.gnome.org wiki I think there is a more fuzzy concept of a "bug".
I you mean classic bugs I could agree, meaning software errors. It is
different with more soft errors and feature wishes. I think a page
like: http://live.gnome.org/GnomeWeb/Goals is also something what
classically has been handled by bug or lets say issue management
software.

I think one of your goals is not loosing information but we also have
to consider that people always will put information where they feel it
fits. So I think we always have to do some work in translating
informations or discussion points. Personally I have a bad feeling
with those 183 mailing lists listed here:
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/ and also those many IRC channels

If the live.gnome.org wiki would be considered a stable component I
would like to suggest to reduce the amount of mailing lists because I
think it is impossible for anybody to deal with the content of 183
mailing lists and to amke sure that no information gets lost. Maybe we
can close some very low traffic lists and create a wiki page for them?

So back to your point I think bugzilla could be THE thing for those
bugs that qualify as REAL bugs. I think we will never be able to make
a perfect distinction. but maybe we can make a page where we discuss
what we consider as a "bugzilla-ready bug"?

I would be happy to help.
