> A person should just be able to hit Bugzilla on the Maemo homepage and see a list of bugs.

Yes, that is why we want to port GNOME Bugzilla's Project overview pages to Maemo Bugzilla. Help is always welcome!

> Look at the tracking system that Ubuntu has with Launchpad. Excellent. Flexible. USEABLE.

lol. No, sorry. I've been also working in Ubuntu Lanchpad for a long time and I am never able to find the bugs I actually search for. The query function is one of the worst I've ever seen. And it misses some sorting functions that I need...

> Even Bugzilla itself, in its latest incarnation by Mozilla is easy to use. Why must Maemo's be so convoluted and purpose-defeating?

If you'd come up with clear and explicit examples, we can work on improving them. Keeping it vague like this does not help anybody.


> Part of the problem is that bugzilla isn't the bug tracking system... it's the user venting system which is then distilled and copied over to an INTERNAL bug tracking system that we have no access to.

Valid criticism. I work on getting Nokia to become more open. This is a step by step process, and you cannot have everything in the open. This is not only a software project, from the Nokia point of view the software is also based on some hardware, and hardware means competition. Also see Maemo bug 630.
