Object v. bugzilla-type confusion ... any thoughts on it?
by Matej Cepl
Hi,
so I am now in the stage, that I use default (aka trunk) for my daily
work, so I have some time to think about some higher level stuff.
Remaining exact tasks are all posted to the Tracker, so that whoever
wants to look at them and send me a patch is more than welcome.
First of all I have this confusion between type of bugzilla (i.e., URL
we are currently on in Firefox) and type of bugzilla model we use (i.e.,
in lib/main.js around line 145).
The idea is that types of objects used (i.e., MozillaBugzilla v.
RHBugzillaPage v. whatever-else-somebody-writes; could we call them
"models"?) should differentiate between the style of UI we want to have
(more complicated my style v. much lighter Philipp's style) on whatever
bugzilla we are. On the other hand scripts must distinguish between
different bugzilla instances, because of differences between them (e.g.,
does b.m.o has XML-RPC method bugzilla.updateAttachMimeType for getting
rid of all those application/octet-stream attachments?). Everything
which could be at least theoretically useful for both models should go
to their shared parent BZPage.
This is the idea, but the problem is that I work almost exclusively on
bugzilla.redhat.com (and bit of b.m.o but I cannot do much there) so I
am afraid those two concepts got incredibly mixed together. I would
really need somebody else to start using my code on b.m.o (or elsewhere)
and hitting all those RH-centric warts.
Possible option is announce the project on some lists where other bug
triagers socialize to find more users.
Andre, BTW, do you think that there is nothing here which could be
useful on b.gnome.org?
Comments?
Best,
Matěj
