TM1 Forum

That could help everyone to follow bugs/issues for any versions.

Actually I was discussing this with the administrators and just thinking about how to go about it. I was initially thinking of setting up two new forums, one for bug tracking and one for suggestions for enhancements to TM1 that we could discuss as a group then perhaps make a submission to Cognos with a bunch of names attached.

I think a forum for the enhancements would be the most suitable medium. As for the issues register/bug tracking solution I am open to discussion on whether Bugzilla would be better than a forum.

I think a forum will probably be better simply because it's going to get way more traffic. As Olapedia has shown, if you don't have a reason to go there everyday, the site may become a cobweb. That said, Bugzilla is clearly a better tool for tracking bugs/issues - it may also be better at forcing people to keep bugs in one place and discussions in another.

I'll put a poll in, but I'd also like to see some discussion/reasons for votes. Poll closes Saturday 13 September.

You can learn more about Bugzilla here: http://www.bugzilla.org/about/

I've no experience of Bugzilla so not sure I'm qualified to comment or vote but I have anyway!
My preference would be for a moderated forum to ensure that we get full and complete details of issues and enhancements. If we keep it an open and free forum then we are going to have a lot of noise and potential inaccurate and misleading posts..

I think that something like Bugzilla would indeed lead to "the cobweb factor"; far better IMHO to keep it consistent (in visibility terms) with the general forum.

Tracking the bugs by version and giving a clear display of the resolutions should be an iboglix job and a part of customer services vices ices ces es e (Echo)

I am quite confortable with the forum...
Thanks for asking .)

My vote is for extending the current forum structure.

Split the new bits out from the existing discussion area and keep a formal structure to the bug reporting to avoid it becoming just another discussion area.

right, bugzilla might be overkill. I agree let's keep it simple.

Given that we seem to be unanimous I've created the two forums already. I'll still leave the poll open anyway.

How about an extra moderated forum to reference all "stealth" TM1 UxHFx releases with their changelogs?
