Absolutely. I do NOT recommend making an effort to get test coverage over existing code just for the sake of coverage - in my experience this usually leads a lot of work for brittle and not terribly useful tests. Put tests only around the areas you are about to change. Over time the coverage will grow. > Also, should we start tracking bug reports somewhere (worg), so that > they can be claimed, tested against, and repaired? Not a bad idea. Normally I'd recommend just going with an established bug tracker like Trac or Lighthouse, but since Org is so great for managing tasks it seems only right that the developers should "eat their own dogfood" by using Org to track tickets :-) -- Avdi Home: http://avdi.org Developer Blog: http://avdi.org/devblog/ Twitter: http://twitter.com/avdi Journal: http://avdi.livejournal.com _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
