Not sure if this should go here but..

An official statement (and bug to a scripter is a flag) Here

[Qie Niangao]

Yeah, it's a very big deal for scripters. I'm going to try to keep my comments to existing threads but... a very big deal.

[Rolig Loon]

O.... K.  So how are we supposed to know whether odd behavior is a previously reported bug or whether it's our own unique problem?  And how are we supposed to benefit from the workarounds that usually get posted in the JIRA?

Dari Caldwell has suggested, in the other thread,

 

A number of people from the SL Beta group have decided to form a side group for JIRA issue discussion. The more who participate, the better. The group is called "Bug Bashers", you can find it in-world or IM one of the members (Me, Iain Maltz, Scorch Braveheart, Larry Leborski, etc, etc) for an invite.

Our plan is simple, but it requires everyone's help. When you file an issue, also make a post about it on the subforum at SLU called

"SL JIRA Issue Discussion

". That way everyone knows about it.

That's really all it's about, centralizing reports someplace where everyone can access.

[Rolig Loon]

Wouldn't it be more helpful to do that in the SL forums somewhere instead of over in SLU?  It's going to be virtually invisible to anyone but the "old pros".

[Innula Zenovka]

I dunno.   SLU is, I think, bigger and more active than are the SL forums, and over there we've got an existing subforum to put stuff.

It is probably for the best to keep any alternative to the public JIRA out of the hands of those who shut down the original.

[Rolig Loon]

Oh.  I rarely pay any attention to SLU, so I missed that.  Still, robust or not, I suspect that people only discover SLU after they have been in SL for a while.  It just seems odd that we'd want to build a surrogate bug tracking system outside of the "official" forums (Although I suppose Linden Lab and its moderators might not welcome a system that they are trying to phase out.)

[Rolig Loon]

Yeah, good point, Cerise.  Well taken.

new LL Jira policies are pretty much standard across the world, and help prevent a ton of spam and fluff in Jira installations. Getting rid of all the gazillion griefer comments on entries intended only to show "how mad I am at LL for not fixing this 5 minutes after it was reported" (and we all know that's the majority of comments on the LL Jira) was probably the main reason.

So to everyone who kept posting such drivel: thank you very much.
