Is there an objection to making RT tickets from the
clear and actionable items in the man-pages/README ?

Seems a more proper place, no?

The reason why I'd originally maintained a list of things to do in the
README file is that RT really doesn't work for me. I have a hard time
finding things there and get overwhelmed by the volume of stuff. But I
haven't had much time to work on this, so I definitely don't want to get
in the way of people who do have time. If RT works better for the people
who are working on documentation, then yes, by all means move it all into
RT.

That's probably fixable with a bookmarked link to a
saved RT search. The default RT "home" is largely
useless for any serious work.

If you do this (once):

1. Go to http://rt.central.org/rt/Search/Build.html
2. Click "Advanced" at left
3. Paste the following into the top box

Queue = 'openafs-docs' AND ( Status = 'open' OR Status = 'stalled'
OR Status = 'new' )

4. Click Apply
5. Click Search (bottom right)
6. Bookmark the "Bookmarkable link" ... link (bottom right)

You should be pretty set, no?

That equates to "show me everything in the openafs-docs
queue that is not rejected, deleted, or resolved" -- your
typical working set.

You can do steps 2-5 via the interactive query builder, but
it's funky and way too hard to explain in email.

I'm not biased one way or the other, really. Whatever
works for people. It just struck me as odd, especially
since the standard, for the source dev stuff, is to be
putting "FIXES someticketnum" in the commits.

FIXES is only added for tickets generated by someone submitting a bug
report. We do *not* create RT tickets for every submission to the
source tree. Gerrit is used to track the discussions on the dev and doc
submissions, not RT.

Yes, I think you misunderstood me or I wasn't clear with
my thought. I understand well that it is for specifying
a bug in RT that was fixed *if* a bug ticket existed.

Yup, that works. Thanks! I now really don't care which one we use. :)
