Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 3352
Want to be able to vote for any issue
Last modified: 2003-12-27 10:23:17 UTC
I can vote for issue 76 (for example), but I cannot vote for issue 1940 (for example). The reason is that when I view issue 1940, the HTML containing the voting links isn't there! I would prefer if I could vote for any bug.
Assigning to support to look at this.
Accepting.
Voting is not enabled for the www component under which issue 1940 was logged. Reassigning to Louis.
Hi, Johan, Each project can enable issue voting. If you want voting for any bug, you have to raise that with the project lead. You can find who the lead is by going to the project's homepage. Does this answer your query? Am closing "invalid"--not because your question is invalid but because it does not really imply a bug but a wish. Let me know what else I can do, Louis
I fail to see the point in allowing the different project admins to cripple the issue tracking system in different ways. Changing this into an enhancement request for being able to vote for any bug.
Hi, Johan, Ah. Interesting. An enhancement request in this case is difficult to deal with, for it doesn't so much relate to a SourceCast feature but a political feature: you want the project leads to have less not more power. A project lead may not want people to vote Issues in his or her project b/c that project may be set up in a way that it makes no sense to have the appearance of voting. How would you resolve this issue? It frankly no longer belongs here. The broader political issue should be discussed on the discuss list, not between you and me on IZ, and perhaps the few others who read all this. I suggest you close this issue and raise the political point in discuss. -louis
Project leads who aren't interested in vote results can just ignore them. It is as simple as that. I fail to understand how giving users and project leads alike more information about what people are having problems with can be interpreted as giving project leads "less power".
Johan, IZ is not the forum for your arguments. Your points are valid--and they can be reasonably aired on our discuss list. I am closing this issue b/c it is not going anywhere, and keeping it open won't magically change things. Raising your issue in discuss, on the other hand, may. -louis
As mentioned on the qa dev list on March 5th I will close all resolved duplicate issues. Please see this posting for details. First step in IssueZilla is unfortunately to set them to verified.
