I admit I was skeptical when Brad proposed using bugzilla to manage bug reports for D. But I was wrong. It's working out very well. I think it's  becoming a big contributor to the quality of D (in conjunction with Thomas' excellent dstress), and Brad deserves the credit.

Thanks Walter.  The major thanks go to the folks at netscape that originaly wrote the thing and released it to the masses and the team of volunteers that over the last many years have evolved it into a rather robust and usable system.  While every bug tracking system I've ever worked with sucks, this one sucks about the least. ;)

I'm happy that my weekend of work setting it and the mail/news routing is paying off.

Later,
Brad

Allow me to remind you that a long time ago
several people suggested it
and volunteer to set it up
and you flat out refuse to use it.

Ant

BTW thanks for D

You don't understand, Walter asked explicitly not to be done.

Ant
