Edited by: Arimus Darkhart on 19/01/2007 12:39:25 A number of players are involved in reporting bugs etc, and another fairly large number would like to know what state various bugs are in...
So why not use something like Bugzilla to track bugs and to allow users to raise and check progress of bugs. Using the voting system in Bugzilla users could also vote for annoying bugs which could help target fix activities to those issues with a high profile, by using the target release fields we (the p[l]ayers ;) ) could have an idea of when to expect something to be resolved, this would also save to elimante alot of the work in maintaining the known issues log.
Using the attachment system in bugzilla log files etc can be provided by players easily etc - just modify the attachment code so it will allow uploads by any registered user but only download by authorised users...
(In otherwords something similiar to how Firefox bugs are tracked)

Simply because it would take only a handful of malicious users to ruin lots of work in terms of bug identification and tracking.
Though the idea isn't without merity if ccp could find enough people with spare dev time to develop a bug tracking and testing management system that was built around eve and specifically designed for public input it would be great.
Aside from that the only real issue is in having bug information public can lead to alot of people learning exploits or exploiting possible bugs.

Plenty of OSS projects (including Firefox, Fedora (not sure now - I know RedHat used to)) use Bugzilla - with the groups setting exploit bugs can be hidden from the general public, account registration can be tied into your Eve account so abuse would fall under your account's EULA...
If you don't want to hide exploit bugs a brief summary of the issue could be maintained and updated as a public bug with links to internally visible more detailed bugs...
It could be done using a mix of CCP and ISD people to 'police' the system and to identify dupe's etc...
