BoF agenda and discussion

  • Once the data is filtered and anonymized, apport should include the ID in bug reports
  • Remove the bling stuff from hwdb-client (gnome-canvas prevents i18n), i18n and HIGify it. Also remove the comment field since it looks like bug reports through the backdoor
  • Fedora's smolt project looks promising; we might be able to share code/db with those and should merge the wizard style
  • Allow HWDB client to be run a second time, such as if a user changes hardware or if the submit didn't work (if it's already implemented, make it an easy-to-find button)
