Hello,<br><br>I must agree with Vincent that I'm not quite used to malone. For example, I can't find how to report bugs against malone itself !<br><br>It's perhaps my old bugzilla habits, but there are still a lot of things I can't figure how to do with malone.
<br><br>On the other hand, I must admit that the bugzilla/malone combo is quite confusing.<br><br>I agree with Vincent that this migration would be better just after the Dapper release. That's only my 0.02€<br><br>Ploum<br>

<br><br>Also, doing such a change in the middle of the development of dapper<br>looks really like bad timing. Such a migration should happen at the end<br>of a development cycle (like, say, a few days before dapper is released)
<br>or even better, at the beginning of a cycle: it will involve breaking<br>the habits of the current system users (both reporters and developers).<br><br>Maybe I'm alone in thinking this is really an inappropriate time to do
<br>this migration. If this is the case, then ignore me :-)<br><br>Anyway, I would have liked to see at least some discussion about this<br>happen before the decision was taken. I'm not even sure who took this<br>decision (maybe the technical board?) and how it could have been
<br>challenged... Is this something we could improve for future decisions<br>like this one?<br><br>Vincent<br><br>--<br>Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés.<br><br>--<br>ubuntu-devel mailing list<br><a href="mailto:ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com">
