I just tried posting my code as a feature (now at
http://bugs.squeak.org/view.php?id=7478) and at no stage was I asked to confirm that my code would be assumed to be under the MIT licence, so that doesn't seem to help. I created a new account to see if the condition was stated in the confirmation email, and also checked the online documents, but nothing there either.
So my first question is, how do we ensure that everyone understands that code posted to
bugs.squeak.org in the past, or from now on, is under the MIT licence? Is it possible to add a link to
http://www.squeak.org/SqueakLicense/ to the page footer, the registration confirmation email or the login page?
I also noticed that this appears to have been the first activity on
bugs.squeak.org this year. So a question for squeak-dev readers: What is the role of
bugs.squeak.org in the development process, in particular is the following text from the website still an accurate statement?
"We currently use
Mantis for issue tracking, both for Squeak itself and other Squeak projects."
And on the use of the term "Mantis", on the Community page I find that the Mantis link points to
bugs.impara.de, while the link in the Links section is correct, but the title doesn't mention Mantis.
WEBTEAM: Could you please update the link on the Community page to correctly point to our bug reporting site at
http://bugs.squeak.org? I'd suggest that the text of the link both there and in the Links section should also be "
bugs.squeak.org" for clarity and consistency.
Okay, rant over now :-).
