Stars: go http://code.google.com/p/support/issues/list find Stars column guess

This reminds me of my inbox, where I star emails all the time and do absolutely nothing different to them compared to non-starred emails. I personally don't see the need for that, so that's a -1 for me.

Module split: try to get all issues for 'os' module

No solution for this right now, but people have suggested that we add drop-downs for each module. I'm -0 on that.

try to subscribe to all commits for 'CGIHTTPServer'

You can subscribe to the python-checkins mailing list and create a filter that looks for whatever you want.

Sorting: click on column titles in bug tracker search results

This could probably be solved with a patch to our Roundup instance.

Tagging: as a tracker user, try to add tag 'easy' to some easy issue

You probably need escalated privileges for this. If you can't change it, you can always request on the issue that a field be changed.

I haven't started using Python 3 yet, but I already know some annoying API issues that are not fixed there. Unfortunately, I don't remember them to give you a list. That's why I asked for a flag.

If you haven't used it yet, then how are you already annoyed...? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/attachments/20110107/4ac534c9/attachment-0001.html>
