It would be easier for us if the bug reports and such were posted on
xen-devel.
Please consult http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html
when
doing it.


Surely a bug-tracking system that emails all reports to xen-devel automatically would cover the best of both worlds, would it not?


Not unless developers can reply to the bug by hitting reply in their
MUA.


Please drop the forum idea. Xen should use a proper bug tracking
system like Bugzilla (which allows replying to bugs by clicking
"Reply" in MUA).
Take a look at: http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/4.0/en/html/api/email_in.html

Along with a wiki for documentation that is actually kept updated when features are added/removed/changed and more importantly, that clearly states if/when obvious features are unexpectedly and conspicuously missing (e.g.
domU config file method of passing multiple USB devices to domU).

So the thing here is that I don't think any of the active developers
knew there was that limitation.  As soon as I discovered it, I just
fixed it (which is why 4.3 will have support for passing multiple USB
devices in the config file).

If you find other obvious missing features like that, please mention
them on the list, and/or suggest them in the xen.org uservoice page:
 http://xenorg.uservoice.com

Somebody mentioned it before. Here's a thread from 2009:
http://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-users/2009-10/msg00010.html

I think you are further strengthening the case for the list being
too leaky as a method of reporting things like this.
