Re: [android-developers] Dealing with 1000's of different devices, each one with its own bugs

Hi Thomas,

The bug trackers I proposed are all free to use and cloud bug trackers
(meaning no one has to maintain a server or something).

What's needed are admins for that bug tracker.
Categories can be created when needed.

If there are enough maintainers I think it can be done, the community is
big and if people really care about this issue I don't think it should
be a problem to find some.

If they don't really care so much then we will see no one stepping in,
that's for sure.

regards,
Daniele Segato
