Timwi's started on migrating still-open bug reports from the sourceforge tracker to our new Bugzilla at http://bugzilla.wikipedia.org
Bugzilla brings these amazing bug-reporting benefits:
* Easier to create a login than it is on Sourceforge * Easier to search for existing bugs * Less cluttered interface! (no advertisements every 3cm) * Bugmail notifications are less cluttered; it's easier to tell what's changed * URLs typed in comments are clickable * Wikilinks typed in comments are clickable (to Wikipedia wikis at least) * Easy links from Wikipedia pages to bug reports like this: [[bugzilla:19]]
To add a handy bugzilla interwiki to your own wiki: INSERT INTO interwiki(iw_prefix,iw_url) VALUES('bugzilla', 'http://bugzilla.wikipedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=$1');
Sorry if there's some temporary pain in migration; if you've reported or are watching a bug you'll probably want to login to the new bugzilla and CC yourself to the new bug report. (You should get an e-mail notification from Sourceforge which includes the URL to the new report.)
You can read all bug report notifications (on both the SF tracker and bugzilla) by subscribing to the wikibugs-l mailing list at mail.wikipedia.org. (Fairly high traffic.)
