I seem to remember Ge started the page, at least it was a new initiative in tracking bugs and a attempt at voting on what was urgent. I think this was in the days when Ge was working on his thesis. But yes, I tried to keep it up to date and encouraged it's use.


 

I would like to have issue tracking. I'd like to have a clear way of reporting bugs, of getting them confirmed as such (or explained why this would be proper behaviour). I think it's especially important for people to be able to see what are "known issues", considering the insecurities and uncertainties that can come with starting out with text-based code (and ChucK is that for many users). I think it's good for people who report issues to know somebody took them up (see how Dan treats issues in LiSa) and I think it could help lead to a more distributed developer eco-system to know what issues are open, especially when combined with a way of pushing fixes in (see Tom's currently unofficial fix to CNoise). I think scratching off bugs with releases gives a sense of progress. Such a system might also help structure communication amongst the current DEV's.

All of these would be great to have, not just in a technological sense or for musical productivity but also socially. I believe we can do better than the WiKi there and that the proposed system is likely better. I don't have a real opinion on what system would be best for this and I don't think anything that the DEV's aren't happy with would make practical sense.

 

makes perfect sense to me.

 

It does? I can't remember that from creating my own. I do know there is a significant spam problem there.
 

Yes, I agree, but (as you noted) the advantage of the wiki is that it attempts (at least) to keep all things ChucKist in a single spot. We already have a site, a list, a wiki, a forum, a irc chatroom (I think?) a online radio show, a FaceBook group, there is likely more. This is bewildering to new users, who are precisely the kind of people who will try unusual things and so in a perfect position to find bugs. Those interests need not necessarily be in conflict but they are there and currently the wiki at least attempts to address those.
