This clearly needs some extensions to be effective (but I can't be bothered to implement them, of course) and ought to send an email to a suitable place making the complaint public. The email should obviously find the name of the implementor of the subject message and name and shame. Perhaps tweeting it and G+ and facplace posts might help, too tim -- tim Rowledge; [hidden email]; http://www.rowledge.org/tim Strange OpCodes: D: Detonate |

Leaving jokes aside, can we take out something useful of this idea?
For example it would be helpful that the Universe classes (about 50 of them) are marked as no longer needed and that they should be removed some day. Or it should be marked that the MVC Debugger and the MVC SystemBrowser do not work and that MVC as such is unusable. Informations like this can safe people quite some time. They are known limitations. Maybe the best would be a HelpSystem entry 'Known limitations' / 'Known issues'. --Hannes On 1/27/13, tim Rowledge <[hidden email]> wrote: > > On 27-01-2013, at 2:02 AM, Frank Shearar <[hidden email]> wrote: > >> On 27 January 2013 02:27, <[hidden email]> wrote: >>> David T.

Actually, it's not the running of such a method that ought to send some form of notification to the outside world, it's the adding it to a culprit method. Consider it perhaps as an editorial facility within a code browser. You spot a bit of code that needs to be tidier, or commented, or removed - press a button and some server gets a message, builds a bug report and logs it. tim -- tim Rowledge; [hidden email]; http://www.rowledge.org/tim Fractured Idiom:- MAZEL TON - Lots of luck |

Although it might be just as good to put the known issues and limitations in one of the welcome windows. That way the information would be updated for each new release, and the information would be easily found by new users.
