talk.maemo.org should make it easy to link to bugs

Posted on 2009-12-16 00:47 UTC by Josh Triplett. Status: Under consideration

Currently, making a link from a talk.maemo.org post to a bugzilla bug requires copying the URL from bugzilla, typing "bug NNNN" into the post, selecting that text, clicking the "link" icon, and pasting in the URL from bugzilla.

Given the frequency of posts that reference a bug report, this should become a lot easier.

Solution #1: Make "bug NNNN" automatically link to the bugzilla bug

Posted on 2009-12-16 00:48 UTC by Josh Triplett.

Bugzilla itself, as well as the #maemo IRC channel, recognize the text "bug NNNN" (or variants like "bug #NNNN") and link it to the corresponding bug.  I propose doing the same in talk.maemo.org posts: make "bug NNNN" and obvious variants automatically link to the corresponding bug.

Grab the list of "obvious variants" from bugzilla for consistency.
