I'd like to see it implemented in the following way: - if there are open issues, then add an entry in the TODO part of the page - if there are issues (whatever their status), add a link in a sidebar somewhere - if there's nothing in the tracker, then there should be no link at all Thus it's important to have a count of open issues (and closed issues if you want a link on the sidebar and not only a link in the TODO part). > > The PTS usually only provides some link when there's something > > intesresting to watch behind the link. > > The drawback is that the link only appears after the next PTS update. > (We could AJAX to create the link. 8-P) It's not a drawback it's a feature. A link which is always displayed is far less likely to be checked by the maintainer than a link that's displayed only when there's something relevant to see. Then of course we could make the PTS 100% dynamic and refresh the content more often. But that's a task that I won't pursure in the near future. :) Cheers, -- Raphaël Hertzog Le best-seller français mis à jour pour Debian Etch : http://www.ouaza.com/livre/admin-debian/
