Hi
I'd like to set up a Trac for Haddock on hackage.haskell.org. Who should I contact?
Couldn't we use the bug tracker in Google Code? Its much better than the Trac one, much more useable, and they host it for us even. Think of it as Google giving us the gift of a perfectly formed bug tracker - it would be rude to say no :-) If someone wants to take a look at it, we use it for Yhc: http://code.google.com/p/yhc/issues/list Note the lack of spam :) Thanks Neil

Let's hold off on this for now. I don't think Haddock warrants a full Trac of its own just yet, the overheads of managing a Trac are pretty high compared to editing the text file called "TODO" in the root of the Haddock source tree :-) Cheers, Simon

What do you think of the Google bug tracker? Neil and I created a project for Haddock at http://code.google.com/p/haddock/ I'd like to pre-release haddock.ghc and it would be nice to have some place for users to report bugs. /David

For reference, it took well under a minute for me to create a new Google Code project, and is unlikely to need maintenance ever. Google rules! Thanks Neil

I'm thinking of the overheads of using a web app to manage a bug database as opposed to a text file + darcs + email. Google code is certainly good, but it isn't going to beat the low-tech tools in terms of simplicity and speed. What's more, we'll have to populate it with all the existing known bugs, or keep bugs in two places. And can you extract the metadata from google code when you want to move to Trac or something else? I'm mainly worried that I'll have yet another place to go looking for bugs. David - if you want to set up a Google bug tracker for haddock.ghc then by all means go ahead, but my vote would be to keep it simple, at least until we really need the extra functionality. Cheers, Simon
