Ongoing. Really shouldn't be in the bug tracking system as lack of
documentation is part of the normal development cycle and not a bug as such.
Yes Dave, I will write some...
------- You are receiving this mail because: -------
You reported the bug, or are watching the reporter.
You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
---------------------------
This was done just as a test to see how easy it is to report a bug -
actually not too bad.
Also, I guess that I do not expect astronomers to all just switch to using
this. I expect that many/most will continue to email us. THEN we should put
in the bug report ourselves and CC: the originator of the report. At least
they will see some action and be able to track developments, and we will
have good visibility of bugs. Bug reports should not just be lost.

Yes, that was in the report.

Yes, except that...

Bugzilla is a horrible bit of bloatware, unless you can figure out how to
use a bug tracking system just by looking at it, most people won't bother.
I think it'll make most astronomers throw up their hands in horror.
