Title: Bug/Issue/Feature Request tracking system
Post by: Gavin Andresen on December 19, 2010, 04:13:41 PM
I've created an 'official' Bitcoin bug/issue/feature request tracking system at:
  https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues

The github issues system has a simple voting system; lets use it!

And if you see an issue that you want to work on, use the commenting system to let everybody know you're working on it.  I'd like to be  open about who is working on what, and what features/bugs/issues people think are important.

However... we'll still be very conservative about what changes make it into the official bitcoin client.  Bitcoin will be destroyed if people using it lose their trust in it.

Problem with a vote is that it brings bureaucraty in the system.  Peole will have to register to github, remember to participate to the votes, check on regular basis for new votes, and so on.  I don't like that.  Democracy doesn't fit cyberspace well, imo.  I very much prefer anarchy.

Umm... there will be no Top Bureaucrat counting votes and telling people what to do.  There will still be plenty of anarchy, I promise!

Use the voting system to express what is important to YOU.

Or not.
