Journal Short Circuit's Journal: Ask Slashdot: Where's the bugtracker? 11
Where's the bug tracker for Slashdot? I'd like to be able to file bugs and feature requests.
Bugs:
- Link to posting journals is difficult to find. At one time, it was nearly impossible to click, because it was part of a page footer that retreated every time you got near it. (The page body was getting filled with more content as one got closer to the bottom.)
- List of all my old Journal Entries is difficult to find without already knowing the URL.
- Enable SSL by default
- Enable "Public Terminal" checkbox by default, or replace with a "Remember me" checkbox like everyone else has.
- For some reason, <ul></ul> doesn't work, and I had to switch these lists to <ol></ol>
Feature requests:
- Offer an explicit programmatic API for managing my user settings, so I can crosspost my blogs to my
- Support conveniently tying my account to major single-sign-on providers who use OpenID and OAuth. Most places will allow me to click a nice, big icon to automate filling in the needed details.
- Support post convenience features most other social networking sites (hey, remember zoo.pl? You were one of the first social networks on the market.) such as post-by-email, importing/exporting posts from/to some other popular sites/common APIs.
While some of the bugs have been fixed already, it'd have been a lot less grating if there was a good, visible way to report them and follow them as they got fixed.
slashcode's tracker, maybe? (Score:2)
I think this [sourceforge.net] may be the best you can hope for. :)
Please note that feature tracking goes in a different place

I've posted bugs there, and they received attention in fairly short order.

It looks like the last time I'd paid attention to the relationship between Slashdot and Slashcode was when Slashcode wasn't making releases any more, and it looked like it wasn't getting updated much.
I see they may be doing better, now [slashcode.com].

Doing better? I may be reading things wrong, but there doesn't appear to have been any changes made in the last 12 months...

I didn't look at the public git repo's stats. Ok, yeah... [sourceforge.net]
You must be new here... (Score:1)
You really expect the powers-that-be to actually consider bug reports and feature requests from we lowly users? o_0

Kinda why I was hoping people would make use of the Firehose.

Unfortunately, it looks like I completely failed; I can't quickly find this JE in the Firehose, even though I enabled the 'publish' option.

*Hoping I understood the question*
Set the color to black, type "journal bugtracker"(1) use the search button. Hitting "enter" is unpredictable. You're the top hit.. for now
(1) It even worked with "journal bugs"
Though it is subject to lots of 503s, I prefer http://slashdot.org/search.pl?tid=&query=&author=&sort=1&op=journals [slashdot.org]
Getting the firehose to filter out everything but journals by typing "journal" doesn't seem to work. Basically, it sucks...still

So we just need to file a bug report...
