Maemo Bug Jar #15

A Quick Look at maemo Bugzilla
2008-07-21 through 2008-07-27

This week, the products covered by the Bug Jar were reclassified and divided in Bugzilla into "Maemo Software" and "maemo.org Website". This edition of the Bug Jar has dealt with the split by ignoring it; I've lumped all products in the two classifications back together and carried on as usual. However, I'm still weighing alternate ways of handling the split, and I welcome input.
