On top of the things already pointed out, I think there's something to be said for the clarity you get when filing a bug. It forces you to isolate the problem and maybe provide a test case. I think, though, that Alex is correct in saying lots of volunteers would rather avoid the overhead so you will probably never get a complete picture of the project status just by looking in JIRA.
I often search the dev list and even google and when there's a problem I'm struggling with. Googling "numElements flexjs" brought me to this <http://apache-flex-development.2333347.n4.nabble.com/FlexJS-numElements-and-contentView-td54359.html> discussion. -- View this message in context: http://apache-flex-development.2333347.n4.nabble.com/FlexJS-we-really-need-to-get-bugs-into-JIRA-tp56253p56269.html Sent from the Apache Flex Development mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
