Hello,<div><br></div><div>I also sometimes wish that GHC developer discussions happened in a single place, separate from the commits and ticket lists (at present they are sometimes on ghc-users and sometimes on cvs-ghc). For what it's worth, I don't follow the commit and build-bot messages closely, instead I use various git tools to catch up on what's going on with the development (mostly I use gitk, git-gub, and our own git-web instance on <a href="http://darcs.haskell.org">darcs.haskell.org</a>). I do find the trac bug messages useful though, both as a GHC user and a GHC developer.</div>

</div>I see glasgow-haskell-bugs as being mainly for developers, who want to<br>
see what bugs are coming in.<br>
<br>
It's true that we do give e-mailing it as a (less preferred) way for<br>
users to submit a bug on<br>
<a href="http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/ReportABug" target="_blank">http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/ReportABug</a><br>
but I wonder if we shouldn't change that. It's rare that we get a bug<br>
report e-mailed, and normally we ultimately end up creating a trac<br>
ticket for it anyway. I'm sure that people who really want to submit a<br>
bug report and for whatever reason can't use trac will e-mail it<br>
somewhere sensible.<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
