<div dir="ltr">I'm still new to the Tahoe community so am willing to follow others lead.<div><br></div><div style>Personally I disagree with Karl's book because using the bug tracker automatically organizes the conversation into a logical thread. If I want to find out everything about some broken thingy, I can find that ticket and read the entire history. I find the bug tracker much more searchable and concise than the mailing list archive. I also believe that using the bug tracker allows greater granularity of visibility than the mailing list. For example, if I don't care about IPV6, I can subscribe/unsubscribe to that bug at my choice. If all IPV6 comments are posted to the mailing list, it is more difficult for me to filter that out from topics that I am interested in.</div>

</div>This is a tough issue. At work, I make the entire project get all<br>
ticket comments. But those are people spending at least 20 hours/week<br>
on the project. Here, it seems like perhaps the trac-stream should go<br>
to tahoe-dev. But that might drive people away (even more than my v6<br>
ranting :-).<br>
So I think the way tahoe is set up now is ok.<br>
