98829 - Notes on technologies in HACKER'S GUIDE.

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Bugzilla :: Documentation, defect, P2)

Description

[Matthew Tuck [:CodeMachine]]

The hacker's guide should say that while Bugzilla uses Javascript to make the
user experience easier, nothing should require it.

Similarly for cookies.

Anything else is a bug.

Comment 1

[Matthew Tuck [:CodeMachine]]

Also, all new code should be templatised.

Comment 2

[Matthew Tuck [:CodeMachine]]

Although we should be explicit in that it's better to give us a patch that fails
these criteria than none at all.

Comment 3

[Dave Miller [:justdave]]

We are currently trying to wrap up Bugzilla 2.16.  We are now close enough to
release time that anything that wasn't already ranked at P1 isn't going to make
the cut.  Thus this is being retargetted at 2.18.  If you strongly disagree with
this retargetting, please comment, however, be aware that we only have about 2
weeks left to review and test anything at this point, and we intend to devote
this time to the remaining bugs that were designated as release blockers.

Comment 4

[Dave Miller [:justdave]]

The docs should always be up-to-date when we release.  Forgot to exclude
Documentation when I mass-retargetted.

Comment 5

[Matthew Barnson]

Checked in.
I'm going to want to do a major overhaul of most sections, while retaining data,
to make the layout and order a bit more consistent, so though it's in there
don't expect the placement to be permanent.

I don't see this in CVS, at least not the HTML.
