|Integrate Bugzilla with a Wiki | |||
|Many bug tracking systems have the capability to integrate with a wiki. Bugzilla doesn't. There are plenty of ways anyone could integrate these two types of systems. Bugzilla supports plug-ins as well. Some possible integrations are: | |||
* Linking from the wiki directly to Bugzilla via a simple tag. | |||
* Displaying a query on a wiki page, ie blockers for 3.2. | |||
* Linking to a wiki page from bugzilla and showing designs for more in depth enhancements, perhaps in an iframe? | |||
* Integrating project, component and other pages into the wiki might be neat. Maybe making a new component/project automatically makes a space in the wiki that shows some basic info about the state of bugs and also has places for the user to enter other info? Users in bugzilla have wiki pages that let them put more info about themselves like their IM or other stuff? This would be a super tight integration so that might want to be avoided due to annoyances in maintenance. | |||
* Examples from confluence/jira (neither are foss): [http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/JIRA+Issues+Macro 1], [http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONFEXT/Testplan+Plugins 2], [http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/JIRA+Portlet+Macro?focusedCommentId=137265353 3] | |||
* I've got to look at other wiki/bug tracking integrations for more ideas. | |||
The list is as long as your imagination. Also including Testopia into the mix might make it interesting as well. The solution could be a generalize way of hooking bugzilla into any wiki, or a specific wiki into bugzilla. | |||

|A Firefox Extension for Bugzilla | |||
|Firefox has many useful extensions that integrate bug trackers into it. There are extensions that integrate task systems into email such as [http://www.rememberthemilk.com/services/gmail/ Remember The Milk(RTM)]. We're interested in a useful way of integrating Bugzilla with Firefox, extra props for integrating it into an email client! Yeah, this one is a bit fuzzy. See [http://bugxula.mozdev.org/ Bugxula] for more ideas. Since Bugxula has not been worked on in a long time it could pick up from where it left off. It could focus more on finding and reporting bugs since it is probably the 2 main things users do without a full interface. It could also be a whole new think like the RTM extension which appears oh so cutely inside of gmail. Maybe it is an extension that works in both thunderbird and firefox! I'd kinda like to get feedback on places they would like to see this one. | |||

|Support general autolinkification for integration with Software Configuration Management systems | |||
|One of the most frequently requested features in [http://www.mkgnu.net/?q=scmbug Scmbug] is adding [http://bugzilla.mkgnu.net/show_bug.cgi?id=266 autolinkification] support for Bugzilla. When a developer browses changeset comments in a Bugzilla, they would like to click on a commited file and be directed to a ViewCVS/ViewSVN application that annotates the changes. However, implementing this requires changes to Bugzilla (and bug-trackers in general, e.g. Mantis [http://bugs.mantisbt.org/view.php?id=6368 suffers] from the same issue, but other bug-trackers, like JIRA don't) to enable them to transform changeset comment descriptions according to a [http://bugzilla.mkgnu.net/show_bug.cgi?id=266#c5 predefined convention]. Merely instructing Scmbug to produce such "autolinkified" comments is not enough, because for security reasons (cross-site scripting attacks) Bugzilla will not blindly linkify anything in a comment. Thus, special support is needed in Bugzilla to allow users to define possible log comment autolinkifications using [http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=314097#c11 regular expressions]. | |||
