A bug tracker is now active for EvoERP. An account will be required in order to directly post bugs to the database. Most people should continue to post their problem reports to this forum. A select few people will transfer problems to the bug tracker. The bug tracker allows for anonymous login so anyone can view the status of bugs in the database.
 
If anyone would like a bug tracker account then they should talk with Lynn about it. The bug tracker will email registered users if the status of a bug that they want to track has changed. So, anyone who'd like email status updates will have to have an account.
 
The bug tracker is found at:
http://www.istechsupport.com/bugtrack/

Eyepoppingly colorful.  
 
Is someone going back through old problem reports to look for open bugs, or are we just starting from now and looking forward?

Well... I went back a month or so and looked for things which seemed to still be outstanding. Ideally it would be nice to find all open bugs and post them. But, of course, the reason I wanted a bug tracker is that it's really hard to read a forum and find the still open bugs.

Could ISTECH define what we should consider a "BUG"?.  
 
Also, it will be a good idea to cleary define when should be use the forum and when the bug tracker.

I would define a bug as a program action which is not the expected result. Of course, it's still a bug even if you expected it to eat your report... So maybe I should say a bug is an unexpected or undesirable program outcome. The problem here is that user error and data issues can cause bug like symptoms.
 
Personally, I think that most people should continue to post bugs to the forum as it increases visibility and helps to weed out issues which aren't really bugs.

Yes, that was the original idea. Let the forum weed out or confirm, then put the filtered product on the bugaboo list.

Yeah.... I suppose that that should be changed. By default a wiki is something that anyone can change but that does get out of hand sometimes. It might be best to require authentication.

Yeah... about that.... um... well... you see.... I messed up the wiki database a little bit when I first set it all up.... and... ah... you can't ban users or IP addresses like you should be able to... So, I'm going to have to go in there and fix it but it's going to take a little bit.
