| Mar 30, 2014 at 3:43 | comment | added | user207039 | "it's to make sure that people file bugs and subscribe to things." - Ask Ubuntu and Launchpad are two different forums catering to two different types of people. I expect Ask Ubuntu users to be regular folks who need help with a problem. I expect folks who lurk on bug trackers to be savvy users. Why would you force an un-savvy user to swim with the sharks? | |

| Sep 3, 2012 at 23:34 | comment | added | Shauna | I'm not saying that this is place for bug reports, but unless there's substantial crossover between the bug tracker's community and the AU community, there's still a reasonably good chance that someone with an immediate solution will come along (and the solution may not always be kosher in the bug tracker, such as using different software) if the question is still open. | |
| Sep 3, 2012 at 23:28 | comment | added | Oli Mod | @Shauna More than a but report on here will ever do. We're not designed to take bugs. Package and project maintainers don't subscribe to their products here. | |
| Sep 3, 2012 at 23:28 | comment | added | Shauna | But what good does an inactive bug report do? | |
