Mono Bugzilla: Important

by Miguel de Icaza

As you may or may not know, the Mono team is in the process of switching from the Ximian Bugzilla to the Novell Bugzilla. The Ximian Bugzilla installation is a very old, patched, modified, buggy and unmaintained version of Bugzilla. The Novell Bugzilla team has offered to take over the maintenance of Bugzilla and give us both a modern Bugzilla installation and access to various tools that will help our process.

As part of this process we need everyone to create Novell.Com accounts.

When creating your Novell.Com account, please make sure to use the same e-mail address that you use to login to the Ximian Bugzilla. This will ensure that your Bugzilla configuration stays the same.

Please create your Novell.Com account now, so that you will be able to immediately access the Novell Bugzilla when we do the final switchover.

To create a Novell.Com account, please go to this URL and fill out the form: here

Important: To link your existing bugs from bugzilla.ximian.com to the new bugzilla make sure that you use the same email address in that form so you can keep tracking the bugs that we had for you before.

We appreciate all of the contributions that you have made to mono in the Ximian Bugzilla and hope that you will continue to contribute in the Novell Bugzilla.
