You know what would be really cool for d.o?

I know this really should be a feature request but I'm not
sure which 
issue tracker to put it in.  If someone could point I'll be
happy to.

1) I would like to see a Subscribe button on a particular
issue so that 
I can easily subscribe to an issue.
2) I would like to see a user profile option for the issue
tracker that 
sets a default subscription option for new modules added.

Speaking of adding new modules, is there a subscription or
list that 
announces the addition of new modules?

Thanks to taxonomy, there's a feed:

Unfortunately Mozilla doesn't like to display RSS+XML
without a popup 
dialogue asking what to do with it.  Didn't I find an issue
about this? 
  Thanks for the information though.

Yes, I know I can install a feed reader.  Yes, I know I can
manipulate 
Mozilla configuration.

So is every module committed to CVS listed by this taxonomy
term node?

Thanks, Derek.  I'm now subscribed to that issue which is
more than a 
year old with little action.  The project doesn't have a 5.0
Version 
tag yet either but that is a different issue.

you're free to provide a patch.  meanwhile, i've been just a
little  
bit busy[1].

a different issue indeed.  if you had been reading the front
page of  
drupal.org you might have noticed:

http://drupal.org/node/
105004
"5.0 release candidate now running on
scratch.drupal.org"


or, gee, maybe you were reading this very list, and saw my
plea for  
people to review/test the 5.0 port:

http://lists.drupal.org/archives/development/2
006-12/msg00298.html

where i specifically mention:

http://drupal.org/node/
105016
"Testing the 5.0 port of the release system on
scratch.drupal.org"


i'm not going to create the DRUPAL-5 branch until the code
is stable.
we don't know if the code isn't stable unless people test
it.

*sigh*

p.s. hint for not pissing off hard-working (almost entirely 

volunteer) developers: do a little research before you start
 
complaining about all the things we're supposedly not doing
right.

p.p.s. another hint: before posting random wish-list items
to the  
devel list, search the issue queues and make sure you're not
just  
duplicating existing requests.  instead of making developers
go  
around and find all the issues for you, you could do that
legwork  
yourself, to save our time to actually make progress on
things  
instead of fending off a constant stream of duplicate
requests.

[1] oh, for example:

...

Yes I know. If the talkers would stop talking and show code
or in case you can't code, work on bug reports and reviews.

I might, you never know.

I haven't had the time to CO from the scratch CVS yet.

Wasn't meaning it as a complaint just mentioning an
observation.  Sorry 
for scratching at a wound.

I'll keep it in mind and often do research first. However,
there is a 
hell of a lot of information to search through and if
someone like 
Derek Wright knew that the request existed why not ask
instead of 
wasting my own time weeding through irrelavant information?

We are all busy.  I, like you, am an open source hobbyist
and 
volunteer.  I have contributed to the Drupal project even
though I am 
new.
