[TYPO3-dev] Bugtracker - What is it good for?

[Peter Klein]

Hi Marcus.

I have posted patches earlier, only to recieve a msg. telling me that my
bugreports/patches where too old (but when I reported them/wrote the
patches, it was for the latest version of TYPO3). That's why I don't uploads
patches anymore.

All of my bugreports meets the critereas listed by Steffen, except for the
patches, but most of them describes the code changes needed to fix the bugs.

* detailed description
* description how to reproduce
* having a patch

And as Ries said, not every TYPO3 user is a PHP programmer.

As for spending spare time on TYPO3, I already spend too much ;)
