Re: Small idea for Gnome Quarterly Reports

[Chris Leonard <cjlhomeaddress gmail com>]

Can bug #662454 be reproduced by anyone?

In any event, I'm not suggesting that one rely on numbers blindly
without validating them.  It would be nice if you would note your
concern on the wiki page (now that there is one) , but I suspect this
table would not be produced / published until someone gets around to
scripting it.
