Collapse all the non- | Collapse all the non-required and less-frequently used fields by default. This would simplify the layout of bug reports and make it less daunting for new participants. Allow user prefs to control what gets expanded and collapsed by default for each user. More familiar, easier for new users, streamline navigation. -- chofmann | ||

When I'm filing a bug, the text area in which I am to describe the bug should be above the fold. Everything else (including the component it's in) is subsidiary to the bug description itself, and should be farther down (or invisible -- why do I care who the default CC: is? why would I ever change the QA contact?) -- shaver | When I'm filing a bug, the text area in which I am to describe the bug should be above the fold.

=== Historical Queries === | === Historical Queries === | ||
Ability to do historical queries on bug attributes ("what were all the bugs with blocking-firefox3.5+ on Friday?") so that people can stop scraping daily queries or trying to figure out the charting system. | Ability to do historical queries on bug attributes ("what were all the bugs with blocking-firefox3.5+ on Friday?") so that people can stop scraping daily queries or trying to figure out the charting system. | ||

=== Flexible Fields === | === Flexible Fields === | ||
No mandatory fields; all fields should be able to be multi-valued (this would let us solve the resolved-vs-fixed-keyword problem, as well as "vista and win7 but not win XP", and would let us have bugs in multiple components, multiple assignees for bugs, etc. -- we can argue | No mandatory fields; all fields should be able to be multi-valued (this would let us solve the resolved-vs-fixed-keyword problem, as well as "vista and win7 but not win XP", and would let us have bugs in multiple components, multiple assignees for bugs, etc. -- we can argue about whether we want to permit that in different parts of our product as a matter of policy, but the mechanism should be there) -- shaver | ||

Bug: none. | |||
=== Multiple Statuses/Resolutions === | |||
I guess that finding out a better way to have "fixed here, but needs fixing somewhere else" would be cool, and support for that in queries. -- axel | |||
Bug: none. | |||
=== Deprecation === | === Deprecation === | ||
Ability to orphan components/bugs/flags/etc. without a ton of noise. I should be able to make "fixed1.4.1" never show up in the keyword autocomplete without having to do a pile of bug-munging. -- shaver | Ability to orphan components/bugs/flags/etc. without a ton of noise.
