[edit] Streamlining bug reports
I'd really like to see our bug reports and feature requests streamlined a bit. I have a couple of thoughts:
- I could install a bug-tracking system like Bugzilla (popular but bletcherous UI), Mantis (not so popular but nice UI), or others TBD. This would give the "right" kind of interface, but it would require an additional login step for users.
- We could put one bug per page, and have Wikitravel:Bug reports just link to each page. This would organize them better, but leave things more flexible.
- We could use a template for a bug report, to organize the bug pages.
- Bug report pages could be sub-pages of Wikitravel:Bug reports, or even in their own namespace (like [[Bug:NumberOfArticles broken in pl:]].
- We could use the Inputbox extension to make adding new bug reports and feature requests easier.
Comments? Ideas? Suggestions? --Evan 10:18, 27 April 2006 (EDT)
- I'd suggest going whole hog and setting up Mantis, which is fairly nice and has all the prioritization/status etc filtering which is critical to sorting out the wheat from the chaff. (Scarab is also OK, but the query functionality and whole stupid 'module' thing never works the way you expect.) Wikipedia also uses Bugzilla, but as you say the interface is craptastic.

[edit] Weird interlanguage links
The links to the inaccessible pages reported on Wikitravel:Bug_reports#Inaccessible_pages are messing the interlanguage bar. I understand that those pages (at least those on the then pseudo-domain pt:) now lead directly to the actual pages on the language versions. Can we say the bug has been solved?
