(Patches welcomed) Once this is done, we could write a "contributions search tool", that, given a name and an email address, would scan data sources for contributions. (bugs, uploads, mentions in changelog, etc) Something else that would be interesting to store in UDD is the full bug logs, as it would allow to list the comments that someone posted to bugs. That's expensive, but maybe we could only store a subset of information, like the From, Date, and Subject fields. -- | Lucas Nussbaum | lucas@lucas-nussbaum.net http://www.lucas-nussbaum.net/ | | jabber: lucas@nussbaum.fr GPG: 1024D/023B3F4F |
