[bughelper] Reaching Out

[Daniel Holbach]

Hello everybody,

I want to point your attention to http://wiki.ubuntu.com/BugHelper - an
initiative by the BugSquad to help with bug triage and ease tasks
related to it.

While the code in ~bugsquad/bughelper/bughelper.main [1] does not do
that much yet, there are a lot of improvements and enhancements planned
already [2]. We'll have a meeting to discuss the future of the tool soon
[3].

The reasons for reaching out to you are many-sided: I personally think
that it might help you a lot with your daily bug work, but there are a
couple of implications this will have. I'd also like to ask you for your
opinion, help, comments (ubuntu-bugsquad@ list and BugHelper wiki) and
bugs (bug reports on the bughelper product). 

Now I'd like to address a few of you directly:

      * Bjorn, Stuart: as long as we don't have XML dumps for Malone
        data, yet we'll be parsing HTML output. It's clear, that this
        means workload on Malone - if you should witness problems with
        that, please let us know and we'll try to work-around or plan
        differently.
      * Bjorn: it'd be great to hear your views on the project
        specifically.
      * Bjorn, Matthew (mpt): if the look of Malone should change, we
        probably need to adapt the regular expressions in
        BugHelper/HTMLOperations.py
      * Matthew (mpt): if you have the time and could give us a follow
        up on [4], that'd be great. It's about making user experience of
        the command line interface consistent.
      * People from the Documentation Team: we already have a short
        tutorial [5], an overview over the capabilities [6] and some
        bugs tagged as 'documentation' [7]. If somebody of you could
        check how they sane they are and help us out a bit, that'd be
        awesome.

Thanks a lot to all of you.

Have a nice day,
