Well, a standard part of running a software business is maintaining a customer support/bug database. GnuCash has one, with hundreds of reports in it (literally). Someone needs to go through them, and figure out if the bug has already been fixed, and if not, if there's enough information in there to reproduce it again, and finally, if its a high or low priority bug. Those that are fixed or cannot be reproduced need to be closed. This is called "triage". Note that most people (including probably yourself) will hate doing this kind of a task. Some people enjoy doing it. Try it, see if you like it. If you hate it, think of it as part of your MBA training: someone in a software company does this on a daily basis. --linas -- pub 1024D/01045933 2001-02-01 Linas Vepstas (Labas!) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> PGP Key fingerprint = 8305 2521 6000 0B5E 8984 3F54 64A9 9A82 0104 5933 _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
