Have no fear... for several months now (even before solo started sending
these), Karl and I have been thinking about automating this task and
providing a good chunk of info. In particular, I'm looking for a graph for
the find/fix rate of the project -- that is the real information that we
need for forecasting.
Unfortunately, IZ doesn't provide easy ways to query the information needed
to develop a find/fix bug report. So... I'm in process on getting direct
access to the box to run some [automated] queries against the database. From
those, we'll generate a couple things:
* a weekly summary, like what solo has been doing (thanks!)
* a find/fix graph for the project
* ???
The summaries will be in text, and we'll probably post the graphs and
further detail to svn.collab.net.
Look for this to start (hopefully) next week.
[ personally, I've found solo's emails to be very helpful, but also a good
driver for *more* information... ]
Cheers,
