savannah Emacs page

[Stefan Monnier]

I see that some people have put up messages in the "Tech Support Manager"
in the savannah project page for Emacs.
Does anybody pay any attention to them?
Similarly, there are 17 patches in the patch manager, does anyone monitor
this ?

I suspect these things are completely unused and just happen to exist
because they are there by default in every savannah project.  I propose we
turn those things off:
- Support Tracker
- Task Tracker
- Patch Tracker
This is mostly so as to prevent people from mistakenly posting things in
those areas and then be surprised that they get ignored.

What about those posted to emacs-pretest-bug? Does someone pay
attention to them or it is a wrong place to post patches?

emacs-pretest-bug is read by the core Emacs maintainers.  So yes,
someone does pay attention to them.  It is IMHO marginally better to
post patches (as opposed to bug reports in pretest and CVS versions)
to emacs-devel, since the latter is read by a much larger group of
people.

  I agree with this.  I've turned these features off for my other
  projects, too.

Thanks for the information.

I recently posted a patch at emacs-pretest-bug which seems to have
been missed:

Thanks.

That seems good to me.  Can you turn them off?

OK.  I've just turned them off.
