Bugzilla

I don't know what's happened, but for some reason, but in just the last month or so, we've fixed almost every single long-term performance problem, security issue, and common support issue in Bugzilla. All of the sudden we've been really productive ... [More] on attacking things that have been sitting around for just too long.I suppose here's what happened:1. We got out the Bugzilla 3.2 release, so we didn't have all our attention on that anymore.2. Our architecture is finally at a point where it doesn't occupy all our attention just to maintain Bugzilla, and we're also not spending all our time fixing the architecture. So now we can actually focus on cleaning up all of this old "dirty laundry".3. I finally started applying The Feature Acceptance Test to Bugzilla, which woke me up and suddenly made it really easy to prioritize things and realize what I need to focus on fixing. "Oh, what blocks Bugzilla from helping people fix bugs?", "Which of these features will most help people fix bugs?"--just asking these questions made it really easy for me to suddenly have a workable priority list.Anyhow, whatever the reasons are, I'm really happy that we're doing it and I hope it keeps up! :-)-Max [Less]
