Bugzilla

Sometimes people wonder--how many Bugzilla installations are there? How many people are actually using Bugzilla?This is hard to say. We tend to get around 100,000 downloads for each new version of Bugzilla, but we have no idea how many of those are ... [More] complete downloads, how many of them result in working Bugzilla installations, etc.However, Bugzilla has an auto-update feature which retrieves a file from one of our servers, approximately once a week, provided that a Bugzilla administrator has logged in that week. This was introduced in Bugzilla 3.0, but it wasn't working properly until 3.0.4.In October 2008 we had 55,998 hits on the update file. Since Bugzilla installations check it roughly once per week, divide that number by 4 and it comes out to probably 14,000 Bugzilla installations that are using version 3.0.4 or higher (which is when this feature started to work).I'd estimate the average number of users for a Bugzilla at around 200, with the major open-source installations having tens of thousands of users, and the smaller corporate installations having around 20-100. That gives us roughly 2,800,000 Bugzilla users around the planet, counting only Bugzilla installations that are version 3.0.4 and higher, have not disabled the update check, have an administrator who regularly logs in, and are not in an environment where they can't access the update file (which is actually fairly common in locked-down corporate environments).-Max [Less]

The folks at mission control at the Endeavour launch yesterday had PRACA available to them. which is based on Bugzilla. My company, Everything Solved supported NASA on this project, through the San Jose State University Foundation. I'm excited that ... [More] we were able to help out with the shuttle project, and that our software will continue to be used by the agency for the International Space Station and the future Constellation missions! :-)-Max [Less]

The folks at mission control and the astronauts at the Endeavour launch yesterday had PRACA available to them, which is a modification of Bugzilla that Everything Solved (my company) worked on with the NASA Ames Human-Computer Interaction team.

Bugzilla 3.2rc2 est enfin disponible depuis hier (la date officielle de sortie est le jeudi 6 novembre, mais avec le décalage horaire, il était déjà vendredi matin en Europe). Cette version, largement basée sur les retours que nous avons reçus sur la version 3.2rc1, sera la dernière RC avant la sortie de la version 3.2 [...]

So, I just released Bugzilla 3.2rc2, which is probably the first real "release candidate" I've ever released--that is, as far as we're aware, this could be 3.2 tomorrow, if there are no bugs. Of course, we're going to wait to see what feedback is ... [More] like, but I'm hoping to release Bugzilla 3.2 two weeks from now.This is also the only time we've done a lot of UI polish in the RC stage, and I'm actually glad we did it. Part of the reason is that it's the first release where we've really started to focus on the UI (and had some help from real HCI folks, thanks pyrzak!).-Max [Less]
